Hotel Elphinstone Himalayan Resort

Jalna village is little off track, which means, it still has the village charm of being not crowded and being a pristine place in lower Himalayas. The view of the distant Himalayas (on a clear day) is amazing and so is the view of the nearby surrounding hills and slopes. The owner Hitesh Sah and staff are very warm and friendly and work very hard to provide you with essentials in such a beautiful but remote place in Uttarakhand. Hats off to them. The quality of cooking and menu, planned personally by them and presented in an informal and family dining room style made it very good experience. The hotel is small (12 rooms ?!), which means that, you will never have to compete with a large crowd to get food, things and attention. The village is quiet without much traffic, which means you can really enjoy quiet time, as well as plan (without much travel) picnics/walks with families down the scenic hill-sides around you.

Hi.....Pls understand... Everything is relative! A Maggi cooked n served properly at a remote place makes ur day n satisfies Ur taste buds as much as a three course dinner at a 5*. In my view this place is a steal for those looking for some quality "me " time........"Far from the maddening croud".......If u get what i mean.. Service is limited but personalised....."Harish" the bearer is available at Ur back n call.......N imagine the owner running a busy hotel at Nainital takes time to ring u up n enquire... Kudos.......Highly recommended at my end.....

The resort is based out in a very remote location, though it is good for people who want to relax however the quality of rooms will not satisfy you, also there is no bon fire arrangement inside the room as shown in the pictures and you have to pay Rs.600 to arrange it in the ground, the amenities provided are also not up to the mark . The staff is courteous however they do not have sufficient resources to make your stay comfortable for which the management have to step up and provide them enough resources to help the customer.

I think location just fabulous ( you cant reach without proper guidance, we also lost once).. hotel location is very far away from mad rush and crowded market, its beautifully located between green and silent hills..rooms are clean well equipped, hotel employee are too courteous.. but courteousness doesnt offer not even average service..i think staff is not permanent..and just has been hired for sake of work during over booked hotel in nainital or almora...Food quality not upto the mark...
