Hotel Wooden Paradise - Review

     When planning to visit Nainital for religious and sightseeing purposes, we decided to stay near the lake on Mall Road. As usual, we searched for hotel locations on Google Maps. We found that a hotel named  Wooden Paradise met our needs, and it was affordable too. So we booked it online. Two rooms for two nights.

As you can see, Hotel Wooden Paradise
is shown on the Mall Road near the lake, but…


        But it came out that it was one of the deceptive hotel bookings we ever made. When we reached Nainital and contacted the hotel person for the hotel location, he asked us to come near the Nainital Post Office. We took our cab there to find out that it was not on the Mall Road but on a higher road, not near the lake. 

But it was Harsh Guest House renamed as Wooden
Paradise and it was nowhere near the lake


     The cab was turned back and brought near the entrance gully to quickly unload the luggage because the steeply sloped road was not too wide and was prone to traffic jams. The entrance was congested, and the hotel looked more like a private home than a professional one. The walls of the rooms were wooden-clad, but there was no ventilation. A mirror had a crack that was covered with paper when my wife insisted. The bed sheets were like a cheap hotel. In fact, it appeared that earlier this hotel was named as "Harsh Guest House" and they changed its name to Wooden Paradise and showed it on the Mall Road on Google map to deceive the customers. 

Rooms were like this, no ventilation and no mobile signal

 

        Another problem was that mobile signals were not available in the rooms. When we complained, they provided us hotel's Wi-Fi, but that was also sometimes off. Going on foot from the Mall Road to the hotel rooms was very tedious for us, as it was about a 300 m walk up the slopey road, and it was even steeper 50 m from the road turning to the hotel entrance. Every time you need to go shopping, restaurant, sightseeing, or just for a walk, you will have to go uphill this distance. They serve food in the room if ordered, but that is not up to the mark. The hotel entrance was congested with bike parking and there were many a times dog shits before the entrance on the road. So the final decision is never to book this hotel - it is a big NO.
