Hotel Mayura Pinetop - Nandi Betta - Hotel in Nandi Hills - Chikkaballapura, India

Superb location and the view from the room was spectacular. The food could have been less spicy and of better quality but everything else was great! Monkeys were everywhere and often can come close - need to be cautious and careful! Great for trekking, view sunrise and have some quiet time with friends/ family in this hotel. The road to the top of Nandi hills is narrow and car drivers should be careful especially with the hairpin bends.

Cons: Lack of connectivity: no intercom, no mobile network, and no WiFi available. Unhygienic conditions: The premises are filled with monkey feces and urine, emitting an unpleasant odor. Cleaning activities were not observed during our stay. Absence of room service. Limited food options: Only South Indian cuisine is available. Basic services like tissue and water on restaurant tables are not provided. Overpriced compared to the services offered. Pros: The property is well-located, offering a good view.

The rooms were clean and had lovely balconies, which allowed us to soak in the breathtaking views. The staff's service was commendable, ensuring our stay was comfortable. However, there were some drawbacks to our stay. The room service, while not exceptional, was satisfactory. A major concern was the presence of a large number of monkeys in the vicinity. These curious creatures, while fascinating to observe, were a source of worry, particularly if you're traveling with small children. They are known to enter rooms and can even pose a threat to kids. Premises of gandhi nilaya can be maintained better and the corridor was untidy and wet . One of the most disappointing aspects of our stay was the food. 'Pathetic' is the only word that comes to mind to describe the quality of the meals. The taste of the dishes was far from satisfactory. It's evident that the management is not particularly concerned about the restaurant service, perhaps knowing that guests have limited dining options in the area. It's unfortunate that this facility, run by the government (KSTDC), adheres to the stereotype of 'don't expect much from government-run facilities.' If only they had a decent restaurant with good food, this place would have been far more appealing.

The experienced we think of is not what we get there, there isn't proper reception nor any concerned person for providing the room. We had taken 2 cottages for a single day and the rooms had a very unpleasant ambience, it is a very isolated and not a safe place at all. The experience we had there for 2 hours was really upset and not at alll up to the mark. The cleanliness of the room is extremely poor and hence we didn't stay there and asked for the cancellation. After having multiple calls, we got the return amount.f I hope this condition what happened to us wouldn't take place with anyone else.

Food: The food at Hotel Pinetop is tasty, but it can be a bit spicy for kids. Make sure to ask for milder options if you're dining with children. Wildlife: Be prepared to encounter lots of monkeys around the hotel and Nandi Hills in general. Keep an eye on your belongings and be cautious. Location: The location of Hotel Pinetop is incredible, nestled in the beautiful Nandi Hills. It's a must-visit place for nature enthusiasts and those looking for a peaceful getaway. Weather: Nandi Hills offers breathtaking views, but clouds may not be visible in every season. Check the weather forecast before planning your visit to make the most of the experience. Staff: The staff at Hotel Pinetop is very helpful and polite, ensuring a pleasant and comfortable stay during your visit. Timings: 6 am to 6 pm

The overnight stay in Hotel Mayura Pinetop Nehru Nilaya was bad as the room given to us, I.e. Nehru Nilaya room no 4 was covered in black mould, and we couldn't sleep properly at night. There was no proper maintenance done to the property. Also the TV was not working, towels were not provided, bed sheets and pillows were unwashed and dirty, room service was non existent, hotel staff extremely unfriendly, breakfast, lunch and dinner was hideous with exorbitant prices. Apart from the location of the property, everything else was negative. The only reason to choose this property was KSTDC has absolute monopoly and no other companies can operate above Nandi Hills. Overall a bad experience for me.

Property is really good and like an old heritage building ...stayed enjoying here ...don't expect much in terms of service as it's a govt. Hotel ....otherwise worth staying if you love nature ...

The restaurant has very simple menu, but reasonably priced and very tasty The hotel has two main places of stay - Nehru Nilaya and Gandhi Nilaya. The "Reception" is near the parking (and near sunrise point). A road goes around the hilltop connecting all places. We had half the family staying in Gandhi Nilaya and other half in Nehru Nilaya Gandhi Nilaya is a historical, the Mahatma stayed here in 1925. It is also quite a bit below the nearest road line, so those who have problems climbing stairs should definitely avoid this In general this place should be avoided by people with weak knees or heart issues, but Gandhi Nilaya really requires good feet But if your health allows it, and you don't have a problem climbing a couple of floors, Gandhi Nilaya is the place you should book In fact you should take New Block and upper floor rooms We took a delux room, and it was reasonably big (11ft*14ft) Room is good and Gandhi Nilaya has it's own viewpoints for sunrise Nehru Nilaya is at the top of the hill and only a bit about the nearest road point The room we got was small in Nehru Nilaya, about 10*11ft. The place is set in a sort of forest and garden. Building in beautiful. The sunset point is not a point but a wide expanse of open granite rock, just awesome
