Hotel Padmini Nivas

Taking senior citizens on a trip to the hills could be a daunting experience. I had planned a long weekend trip to Mussourie with my mom and uncle , both senior citizens . In addition my uncle had special needs . But right from the time of booking till we left the hotel ,Padmini Nivas made us really comfortable . I cant really single out one particular person since each and every hotel employee went out of his way to be hospitable .Even when small glitches developed , like the telephone being out of order , it was repaired almost instantaneously.. We stayed in room 10 which had a lovely view of the sun kissed mountains. Padmini Nivas is a beautifully maintained heritage property with well maintained rooms and nice sit outs. The rooms have a feel of the bygone era with high ceilings , vintage lights and furnishings. Even the bathroom has a great view ! I loved the garden with its blooming hyacinths, winter jasmine and tulips. The hotel also boasts of a delectable vegetarian cuisine ,especially Gujarati . The Aloo poha, parathas and gujarathi thali were excellent . My only grouse was that they did not include breakfast as part of the deal. I would definitely recommend this place as a must visit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this heritage resort overlooking the valley. Rooms were neat and clean and all amenities needed were well provided for. Breakfast, lunch and dinner was served steaming hot and freshly made. Also the resort has beautiful plants all around adding to its beauty.Another attraction is that this resort is centrally located. For us it was like home away from home and we will definitely like to visit this beautiful resort again.

It's an old heritage hotel, the rooms are very nice and clean with wonderful view. The staff is very decent. Good food, good stay and a great view what else is needed for a holiday. 5 mins away from the Mall road. Would recommend this place 10/10 I'm in love with this wonderful place.

The hotel is almost 180 years old with a rich history of multiple lords from British officers to wife of Rajas.. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a royal stay with a nice view of valley near Mall road Mussorie..

This hotel is located at a height. There are two ways to access the hotel. We happened to access it from the side where we had to climb up a short winding path after parking the car at mid place. It was quite dark and freezing cold. We were exhausted after reaching the place at the end of a 7 hour journey. The hotel is a heritage one. Its not fancy. Its certainly not a starry hotel. But the rooms are comfortable. The heritage wing is huge with large rooms. But in the winter, its not a good idea to take these rooms as the ceiling is about 30 feet high and the rooms get extremely cold. Also, they dont have any view. The rooms that we stayed in were non heritage rooms. They were decent. The view from the verandah outside the rooms was exquisite. The small garden outside is nice and ideal to have a cup of tea in the cold winter. The restaurant is very small and comfortable. The food is good. In particular, the stuffed parathas for breakfast are a winner. Each member of the staff does expect tips when you depart. Except for sleep and eat and maybe a bit of sunbathing in the mornings, there is nothing else that you can do at the hotel. There are no sports activities. The hotel needs a lot of attention as its an old property. The heaters in the rooms need to be replaced immediately with bigger and better ones. If you are a dog lover, they have a huge pet dog. Location wise, its very near the Mall which is the central shopping area.
