The Ranikhet Continental

A quiet, relaxing place, with a unique view. The terrace is put to good use, and the food is nice and excellent quality. Service was quick and polite.

I booked at 9PM last night, and they still arranged dinner for all of us. The staff were well mannered, and my friends all thanked me for booking here. All the services were very good.

The restaurant needs to get its timing sorted. We ordered all the dishes together, but one arrived only at the end of dinner. Hot water is also a basic need in cold weather, yet it was lukewarm at best. The room heater or blower costs extra, even though November/December is cold and heating feels like a basic requirement.

I was there for 2 days, and the stay didn’t match what the website promised. The room was clean, but the hotel is quite isolated, which made getting around inconvenient and uncomfortable, especially for a solo traveler or anyone without their own transport. I booked a room with breakfast included and expected the advertised buffet. Instead, there were only a few choices, and anything beyond them cost extra. That felt misleading and unfair. Staff also tried to charge more than the listed price, and when I booked online to avoid that, they added a mattress charge just because I’d booked through the website. The hidden costs and lack of transparency ruined the stay. I wouldn’t recommend it.
