Nashik's BEST Mountain View Hotel: Unbelievable Views Await!
Nashik’s BEST Mountain View Hotel: Unbelievable Views… and a Whole Lot More! (A Messy, Honest Review)
Okay, folks, listen up! I just got back from Nashik, and you know I had to hit up the "BEST Mountain View Hotel: Unbelievable Views Await!" And yeah, the views? They were… well, unbelievable. Seriously. I'm talking postcard-worthy, jaw-dropping, "Instagram feed about to explode" kind of views. But let's be real, a pretty picture can only take you so far. So, here's the real scoop, the good, the bad, the slightly-off-kilter truth about this Nashik gem, straight from yours truly.
Accessibility: Hmmm… (A Little Work to Do)
Okay, this is where we stumble a little. While the hotel says they have facilities for disabled guests, I didn't see a ton of specifics. The website wasn't super clear on things like ramp access in all areas or specific room features. It's a beautiful property, mind you, but if accessibility is your top priority, I’d suggest calling ahead and getting the lowdown, especially on those mountain view rooms. Double-checking is crucial.
Rooms & Amenities: Comfort Meets Vista - Mostly
Let's get the good stuff out of the way first: the views!! Seriously, I could have spent the whole trip just staring out the window. (And maybe I did…more than once.) My room? Absolutely comfortable. Air conditioning (thank GOD, it gets sticky in Nashik!), a comfy bed, and all the usual suspects: hair dryer, toiletries, and free bottled water. They even had an alarm clock (which I, admittedly, ignored in favor of the sun!). Blackout curtains were a lifesaver for sleeping in (if you aren't mesmerized by the sunrise over the mountains!). Free Wi-Fi in the rooms? Yes! Absolutely essential, especially for someone like me who needs to stay connected (for work…and, you know, social media). Also, there was a desk and a pretty comfortable laptop workspace – perfect for those moments when you have to do a little work.
Now, the "buts." There was a tiny bit of a "dated" feel. The carpeting looked a little older. The bathroom was clean, but felt a bit basic. I loved having a bathtub! Oh, and a separate shower/bathtub, which is practically a deal-breaker for me, but not the most spacious. But like I said, the view? It's a good trade-off.
A small little snag: getting used to the interconnecting rooms, the party next door must have been a birthday bash - if I knew those people, I'd have gone to join them!
Cleanliness & Safety: Feeling Secure (and Sanitized!)
Okay, big thumbs up here. This is where the hotel REALLY shines. With everything going on, I was super conscious about cleanliness. And the BEST Mountain View Hotel nailed it. They clearly take hygiene seriously. The anti-viral cleaning products made me feel super safe. I saw staff constantly daily disinfecting common areas, and the whole vibe was… clean. They had hand sanitizer everywhere. They even offered room sanitization opt-out, which is a nice touch. Plus, the staff all wore masks and were following safety protocols, which made me feel more relaxed. Rooms sanitized between stays, definitely a plus. They really thought about that, good on them.
Dining, Drinking & Snacking: A Culinary Adventure…with a View!
This is where things get interesting! The dining options are diverse, but let's be realistic (and honest!): it's not Michelin star level. But you’re here for the mountain views, remember?
- Restaurants: There are restaurants, plural! A restaurant itself is pretty good, and the view from there? Outstanding. They offer International cuisine and Western cuisine that were pretty well done. The Asian breakfast was a delight for my adventurous tastebuds; and you can get Breakfast in your room.
- Breakfast: The Breakfast [buffet] was decent, though nothing to write home about. Coffee/tea in restaurant was good, and readily available. A big bonus: they had a Vegetarian restaurant: Nashik, you probably know, is a major hub for veggies, so it's a must have.
- Poolside: A poolside bar, is everything you'd expect.
My verdict: The food is good enough, the views are superb.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Spa Day with a View? Yes, Please!
Now, here's the fun part! The BEST Mountain View Hotel isn’t just about the views; they actually offer a bunch of ways to unwind.
- Pool: The Swimming pool (outdoor) is amazing. Pool with a view? Check! Swimming in that pool, looking out at the mountains? Utter bliss.
- Spa/Sauna: Okay, so I'm a spa person, and the spa here was… good. They have a Spa. The sauna was a plus.
- Fitness Center: The gym was well-equipped if you actually want to work out on vacation. I didn't. But it's there!
Service & Conveniences: Helpful, Mostly
The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful – from the bellhops to the cleaning crew. The Concierge was super helpful. There's a 24/7 Front desk. Daily housekeeping. They had a Cash withdrawal, and a Currency exchange. Basic stuff like a convenience store, laundry service, and dry cleaning. All pretty standard, but appreciated.
Getting Around:
- Car park [free of charge] - Perfect for those who drive down!
- Airport transfer - Helpful.
- Taxi service - Readily available.
For the Kids:
While I was traveling solo, I noticed they’re Family/child friendly, with Babysitting service. I saw a Kids meal option on the menu.
Things I Loved So Much I Could Write a Novel About:
- The Views, The Views, The Views! Seriously, I'll say it again. Those mountains… They’re breathtaking. I spent hours just gazing out.
- The Pool: One of the best pools I've ever been in.
Things I'd Change… If I Could:
- Accessibility Details: Be more specific on the website.
- Restaurant Food: A little more variety and a bit more wow factor.
The Final Verdict:
Look, the BEST Mountain View Hotel isn't perfect. But it's got that something special. The views alone are worth the visit. Add in the comfortable rooms, the solid safety protocols, and the friendly staff, and you've got a winner. Is it a luxury resort? No. But it's a solid, well-run hotel with unbelievable views.
Would I go back? Absolutely. And, honestly, I'm already plotting my return.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously planned travel itinerary. This is a diary of a human being, me, attempting to conquer (or at least survive) a trip to the Hotel Mountain View in Nashik, India. Prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions, questionable decisions, and the constant, gnawing fear of spicy food.
Day 1: Arrival and Altitude Sickness (Mostly the Disappointment Kind)
- (8:00 AM) - Flight Disaster (or, the art of losing luggage): Left my house in Mumbai which should have taken and hour and half, and it took 3 hours. Got to the airport, rushed though security. My luggage, the behemoth containing all my "essential" travel items (aka, 12 different shades of lipstick I'll never wear), decided to stage a rebellion. It's MIA. Vanished. Poof! I'm pretty sure I saw it wink at me just before it disappeared into the abyss, because I'm also pretty sure I left the iron ON.
- (11:00 AM) - Nashik Arrival (and the dreaded "Welcome Drink"): Landed in Nashik, feeling a mixture of relief (I survived the flight) and utter despair (my favourite jumpsuit is gone). The hotel shuttle (a beat-up Maruti Alto) was waiting. The driver, a cheerful chap named Ramesh with a handlebar moustache that could rival Freddie Mercury, greeted me with a "Namaste, Madam!" He smelled of incense and something vaguely floral. The "welcome drink" at the hotel was a lurid pink concoction. I suspect it was a cocktail of artificial flavouring and undiluted sugar. I tried a sip. My teeth ached. Sigh.
- (12:00 PM) - Hotel Mountain View: First Impressions (Mostly Mountain…and View): Okay, the hotel itself is… well, it's definitely a mountain view. The lobby had a slightly "grandma's living room" vibe, with plush velvet furniture and a portrait of a very serious-looking man on the wall. I'm guessing it was the owner. The view, thankfully, was spectacular. Rolling hills, a hazy sky, and a sense of… peace. I'm not usually a "peace" person, but it was kinda nice.
- (1:00 PM) - Lunch at the Hotel Restaurant (and the Beginning of my Spicy Downfall): Ordered butter chicken. Asked for it to be "mild." They said, "Of course, madam." I should've known. It was a volcano of flavour. My mouth felt like it was on fire, my eyes watered, and I started sweating uncontrollably. Ramesh, the driver, saw me struggling and offered me some yogurt. Bless him. He became my food guardian angel.
- (3:00 PM) - Room Exploration and Impending Doom: Finally got to my room. It was clean, functional, and the bed was comfy. The bathroom, however, had a bizarre collection of mismatched toiletries. Shampoo from one brand, conditioner from another, and a soap that smelled suspiciously of mothballs. I opted to forgo the shower. Altitude sickness, I figured, was a close ally of potential issues.
- (4:00 PM) - The Great Tea Disaster (and the search for peace): Decided to order some tea. Figured a nice cuppa would be soothing after the butter chicken inferno. The tea arrived. It was nice, but had an unexpected (and rather unwelcome) sidekick: a plate of what appeared to be deep-fried, overly oily, vegetable pakoras. I nibbled at one. It was… crunchy. And oily. I abandoned the tea ritual.
- (6:00 PM) - Sunset Perambulations and Emotional Unravelling: Walked around the hotel grounds. The view was stunning. The air was crisp. I started feeling… melancholy. Lost luggage, spicy food, the general "wrongness" of my life starting to manifest. Maybe I did over-pack. Maybe I should have gotten a travel agent. Maybe I should've stayed home. But no, I started this trip.
- (7:30 PM) - Dinner and Regret: More spicy food. I think I've developed a masochistic appreciation for pain. This time paneer, the cheese I've learned to love, in yet another fiery sauce. I ate it, anyway. Now my stomach is churning. And the mountains look like they're judging me.
- (9:00 PM) - Hibernation: Crawled into bed, defeated, and decided to pray to the travelling gods to let me make it through the night. I'm sure I'll be fine in the morning… right?
Day 2: Exploring Nashik (and the Eternal Quest for Non-Spicy Food)
- (7:00 AM) - Wake Up…and Survive!: Against all odds, I'm still here! And, surprisingly, not on fire. Yet. The pain in my stomach has subsided to a dull ache.
- (8:00 AM) - Breakfast Buffet (and the Search for Salvation): The breakfast buffet was a mixed bag. Some (slightly) bland idli- vada (the dosa were out of bounds) and some fruit. The only excitement was a rogue fly that kept buzzing around my head. The quest for edible, non-fiery sustenance continues.
- (9:00 AM) - City Sightseeing (and the temple of choice): Ramesh, my charming driver, has come to pick me up. First stop: the Trimbakeshwar Temple. It's beautiful, intricate, and a complete sensory overload. I got my shoes blessed. The priest, a smiling man with a colourful turban, seemed genuinely amused by my wide-eyed wonder. The sheer number of people, the colours, the chanting… it was all a bit much. But, okay, it was nice.
- (12:00 PM) - Lunch (Take Two, and the Vindication of Ramesh): Ramesh took me to a small, local restaurant. He insisted on ordering for me. Bless him. He got me lentil soup, and some kind of paratha that was cooked light with only a dash of oil on the pan. It was… heaven. I practically wept with gratitude. Ramesh has saved me. He understands my non-fiery needs.
- (2:00 PM) - Exploring the Sula Vineyards (and the realization of my true calling): Yes, that Sula. Wine tasting was a blast. Turns out, I have a secret talent for swirling wine (even if I can't tell the difference between a Merlot and a Malbec, I looked the part)
- (4:00 PM) - Shopping (and the chaos of Indian markets): Attempted to navigate a local market. It was pure pandemonium. Bright colours, shouting vendors, the overwhelming smell of spices… I felt like I was a pinball in a giant pinball machine. I managed to buy a scarf, though. Success!
- (7:00 PM) - Dinner (the gamble): Against Ramesh's advice, I decided to order dinner in a different restaurant that wasn't in the hotel. It looked fancy. I ordered chicken tikka masala. Asked for it to be "not spicy". It arrived. It was mild. It was… delicious. I might have actually cried this time.
- (9:00 PM) - Reflection and the Unfolding of the Final Day: Back at the hotel. Contemplating the final day. The trip has been exhausting, hilarious, and chaotic. Despite the spicy food and the lost luggage, I'm starting to feel… something. Contentment? Acceptance? Maybe I'm just delirious. But I'm starting to think I'll be okay.
Day 3: Farewell Nashik (and the Promise of Future Spice Adventures)
- (8:00 AM) - Breakfast (back to the safe zone): Back to the same breakfast spread. The idli- vada was there for me. The fruit was too. It was… reassuring.
- (9:00 AM) - Hotel Mountain View: Final Soak: Spent some time just relaxing in the hotel, looking out over the mountains one last time. Sigh.
- (11:00 AM) - Departure: The Maruti Alto, and Ramesh, are waiting to take me back. I say goodbye. I actually feel sad.
- (1:00 PM) - Departure (again, one last look): Get to the airport, and this time, my luggage is there! (Apparently, it had been enjoying an extended vacation in Mumbai - with my iron, I'm sure).
- (6:00 PM) - Back home: I'm back home. I am exhausted. I am a little bit changed. I have a scar from my spicy food adventures. And, for the first time ever, I'm actually excited to go back to India.
So, there you have it. My messy, emotional, and utterly human journey through Nashik. It wasn't perfect. It wasn't always pleasant. But it was real. And, in its own chaotic way, it was beautiful. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go order some bland toast. I'm going
