"Pros: Beautiful location - perched up from the nice small road. You get very nice mountain & valley views. Rooms are spread out on this plateau & the room interiors are done in good taste. They have maintained nice flowers, walnut & fruit trees on their premises which adds to the charm. Cons: Check in experience was not great. We reached Kasar Devi area quite late (around 10.30) - we hadn't taken our dinner yet. Unfortunately most of the eateries in / around Almora close by 9 pm or so. We found an open one about 5 minutes before the hotel - so we decided to eat there before proceeding. We did so. We kept on getting calls from the hotel enquiring about our time of arrival - we told that we will reach hotel around 11.15 after finishing our dinner. Once we reached the hotel, we couldn't find their reception - we called the hotel's number quite a few times but there was no reply. Luckily one the guests who was there helped us by bringing the hotel person. Though polite, he was drunk - but he took us to our rooms quickly. Asked for our IDs & then asked for payment but asked for an entirely different amount - when i showed him a different amount in the booking confirmation mail - he said yes that's the amount. We paid the correct amount - we didn't face any further problems. He greeted us warmly the next morning." ~Vs
