8/10 Good
"The Hotel is built like 15 Mins away from main Naran Bazaar. In a Just Awesome Scenic location, the builtout of the place is equaly amazing. The rooms are spacious, views from the Balconies are stunning, one does'nt want to close their eyes, it's so beautiful. When we went in June 2026, it was maybe 70% occupied, they depend on AC generation, which is the only power there, but it was not that inconvenient. The place makes you hapy, staff is happy and helping. I received everything I needed, including special meal, and medicine. Can't ask for more. Very Nice beds, and clean Sheets/Towels etc. You will love the place, like anywhere else, a bit patience is required, have that as you are on vacation, and you will enjoy. Main restaurant is probably serving the best tasting food in Naran area. Stay away from their Dinner Buffet, it's not a good Value. Do Ala Cart. Keep in mind you are 15 Mins away from Naran, BUT that can become many hours if you do NOT watch for traffic in the evenings etc, so Googlr Map, and look for Traffic, this can save you a lot of $$ plus time, always check and ask traffic conditions. I am of the view, if you are here, just stay, and enjoy, no need to go to Naran Bazaar etc, there is nothing there anyway, except terrible, food and traffic"

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at Mount Hayat Hotel for two nights. The location is pretty much at the centre of naran bazar and has underground parking. The staff were helpful and the rooms were very nice, clean and cozy. Beds were comfortable, sofas were comfortable and chairs were comfortable too. We had an Executive suite as we were 3 adults and three kids. We did have to ask for an additional mattress which was available pretty much instantly. The only issue I had was that I had to call reception multiple times for soap, toilet roll, coffee sachets/teabags and even for housekeeping. They did eventually manage to get us sorted but it took a couple of hours and 3 phone calls."
