Arif Castles is a Deluxe Hotel located in the upper Mallital area of Nainital. Arif Castles is part of the Arif Group of Hotels who also runa 3 star hotel in Lucknow. The hotel is equipped with 60 rooms and is one of the oldest hotels in Nainital.
Rooms:Since Arif Castles is located in upper Mallital and there is NO LAKE VIEW from any of the rooms in Arif Castles. The hotel is actually located in heart of a residential colony in Mallital and so is closed from all four sides. The rooms are not bad but they do not offer any view…You open the windows and there is nothing which will attract your eyes. Its like living in the cold of Nainital without even experiencing the fact that you are part of hills.
Room Rating for Deluxe Hotel in Nainital: 2.5
Facilities: Arif Castles have a restaurant, a conference hall, a discotheque and a gymnasium. The restaurant specialises in Indian food and we would not recommend ordering Chinese or Continental food from their kitchen. The conference hall was fine and designed pretty well for a corporate conference. The discotheque was closed during our visit and we were told that it operational during April - July. The gymnasium was not fully operational and we noticed that some of the machines were not in a working state.
Facilities Rating for Deluxe Hotel in Nainital: 2.75
Food and Service: We liked the Indian food at Arif Castles. The curries were rich and it seemed that lot oil was used. Definitely not good if you do it everyday but I guess it is ok while you are on a holiday. The service was not great but we were disappointed.
Food & Service Rating for Deluxe Hotel in Nainital: 3.0
Location in Nainital: Arif Castles location is the weakest point about the hotel. The last 100 mtrs approach to the hotel is horrible and the road is very narrow and steep which unnecessarily makes it difficult to pull your car up to the hotel.
