One of the worst places to stay in nainital. It is marketed as a heritage place. But, hello please read further that it was a ywca - (young woman’s christian association) hostel not a palace. Service is crappy - so is the food - and the rooms are miniscule. In one room they have a wall covered with flowers. The room is yellow and the flowers are white. Even a 6 yr old can do a better work of art. Ask them for a room change and they will show you other crappy rooms.
for a good stay, pay more, go to mannu maharani. It is not advertised but is awesome and worth the money you spend. Do not be taken in by the website and the name. Imagine someone came to you and said, " choose between chevron fairheavens and mannu maharani" which one would you choose? Chevron fairheavens of course!!! Wrong answer.
