Calming and soothing environment, the view is so mesmerising. Location is good. rooms are good, clean and spacious, meals are delicious and hygienic and staff is very supportive.. Going to recommend my friends and family for their Ranikhet Trip.

Highly recommended: Best in Ranikhet

XoMotel Ranikhet was a random choice as we wanted to be away from the crowds yet not too far out from the quaint hill town. Wanted a relaxed holiday with a mountain view. We spent 7 days from 1st May to 7th May 2023. The unseasonal rains tried to play spoilsport but we were determined to make the best of it, so out came our raincoats & umbrellas. The night temperatures dropped to 7 degrees Celsius and maximum hovered around 14 degrees. The facility has 7 suites facing the mighty Himalayas and 4 Executive Rooms on the first floor in the reception block! The rooms are functionally furnished and we had to request for room heaters and extra blankets to counter the cold. The bedroom in the suite has a skylight that provides enough daylight. Since there were a lot of cancellations due to rains, we were the only 4 guests in the resort. The restaurant serves only vegetarian fare but the enthusiasm of the kitchen staff more than made up for the buffet breakfast spread that was offered after the rains stopped on the third day. The Nanda Devi peak and other snow clad peaks made a magnificent appearance early morning to our delight. The resort faces a terraced garden with many varieties of flowers and pine, almond and fig trees and a flight of 64 steps that takes one down to the Chiliyanaula Main Road. The dirt track that climbs up to the motel  is about 150 meters but a tough grind for liw clearance vehicles.
The Chiliyanaula hamlet has a population of 2000-3000 inhabitants and the main road connects to the NH-87 below after 700 meters. There are a few tea shops, a few provision stores, mobile repair shops and a taxi stand where you can get a taxi to Ranikhet Main Market 4 kms away. The  Haidakhan Baba temple is located on the Highway and is a tourist attraction. It has a shop that sold jackets & sweaters for the unpredictable weather. There is a Kumaon Restaurant that makes non vegetarian food on order as also jalebis. G D Birla Memorial Senior Secondary School is 1.5 kms from the resort. We enjoyed a bonfire on two evenings including a full moon night. The staff happily served us our snacks and dinner around the bonfire. We took a day trip to Ranikhet to visit the Kumaon Regiment Museum, Jhula Devi Temple, Chaubatia Orchards ( offers a winding track to the apple orchards and an unrestricted view of the Himalayas , the Ranijheel, the golf course and onwards to Sun & Snow Motel for a late lunch completed our day trip. 
Another day we took a trek through the pine forest and revisited  the Haidakhan Temple to have an unobstructed view of the snow clad Himalayan ranges.

A Peaceful Heaven amidst Pine Forest

Amazing place with an amazing morning view.  Had the perfect stay here, staff was polite and supportive.
The rooms are spacious and well furnished. 
For me, if I can look at the mountains while sipping my morning tea, my day is made!..
The location of the hotel is quite nice, between the woods overlooking the town n hills beneath. 
Truly mystical

Great place to stay

We were looking for an accommodation at Ranikhet that had a great view, comfortable stay, good food and of course reasonably priced. Xomotel showed up as the first search result. Everything about it looked exactly how we wanted it. The place is lush green and surrounded by garden with umpteen number of flowers. And needless to say, the view of the Himalayas. Wake up early to see the sunrise, glistening on the snowcapped mountains.  And the sunset is equally glimmering. 

The booking process was easier and the team was responsive to what we were looking for. We reached late evening and the staff was warm and welcoming. Standing outside the hotel, I knew this is exactly what I wanted for the family. The housekeeping staff, kitchen staff and everybody else had the most polite attitude. No matter how many times you called them or asked for something, they would do that with a smile.  The day we reached was my dad's birthday. We spoke to the hotel and they had arranged for a complimentary cake for him. There was no need for a reminder for anything, let aside the cake.

You let the kitchen staff know what you want for dinner and they will prepare it how you want it. The manager of the hotel, Mr Narayan, is nothing short of a gentleman. Very calm and a polite man. I wish I could come back and stay at the same suites where we did. The entire Ranikhet experience was elevated for good, even moreso by the place we chose to call home for few days. 

Thank you once again for the lovely experience and I strongly, strongly recommend Xomotel if you want a tranquil and feast for the eye experience. 

PS: Do ask them to prepare kumaoni aloo and pahadi chutney. You won't be disappointed.

Hemant

First and only choice

This was the second time I visited this place, and my experience was better than the last time. Brilliant. 

A small story about me finding this hotel: So, there was no plan for us to go to Ranikhet, we were going somewhere else but somehow mid-way we decided for Ranikhet and I was clear that I am going to stay in the same hotel – there was only one issue, I didn’t remember the name of the hotel and it didn’t hit me to check my trip advisor at that time. Since, this hotel is on a little outskirt of Ranikhet, it wasn’t easy either to seek help from people regarding this hotel – I was telling people there was a property with “huge stairs, huge property with garden, cottages and 2 floor building” but somehow nobody was able to guide me. Until, when I saw a small poster for the hotel and the name hit me. I finally arrived. 

The experience was for sure better than the last time, last time was great and this time too it was impeccable. We stayed in cottages and the hospitality was again on point – Naryan Ji – the caretaker/manager of the property was on his toes to get things done for us and his usual “Pahadi hospitality” was evident. We were offered the best room, best rates, and best service. 

The food was always prepared fresh and with love – Manish Bhai, who was working at the hotel was as good as you can imagine – always smiling, ready to guide and help. 

The hotel has power backup – so electricity was never an issue, there is enough parking space, cottages have electric geyser and not solar geyser so running hot water was never an issue. 

The binsar mahadev temple is about 20 KMs from the hotel and it’s a must visit, while there isn’t any “touristy” market around the hotel, the place is 100% recommendation from me. The USP is that the hotel is away from main ranikheth market, and the location of the hotel makes it an absolute love for somebody seeking solitude and silence away from main market and city life. 

My utmost appreciation for the hotel staff – the management must praise the staff and especially Naryan Ji.

Here for second time, BEST AGAIN!

We  have planned our trip and it was awesome... I wish I will come again and again and also  choose the same property . Regarding our trip we have done a lot of things like bonfire, local sightseeing also have witnessed the mighty himalayan peaks covered with snow.  We enjoyed a lot,,, great experience.....

GREAT EVER EXPERIENCE

Best Property with value for money

It’s a memorable trip for my family at hotel. Staffs are very helpful in nature. व Veiws and surrounding of hotel is very soothing.family gathering especially birthday anniversary, so visiting at this place is awesome experience.

Value for money

We went to this hotel without any prior booking at 9:30 PM basis the photos on Google for a stay over on our journey back to delhi. This places offered us more than we expected. The village Chiliyanaula, where its located, is calm and serene and offers grand view of Himalayas. Their service, their hospitality cannot be matched even by some of the top hotels. Food tastes delicious and just like home made. So impressed by their service and the location, we ended up extending our stay. This village and this hotel has my heart. I would definitely be coming again to this same place in near future.
