Nashik's Hidden Gem: Hotel Cool Palace - Unbelievable Luxury Awaits!
Nashik's Hidden Gem: Hotel Cool Palace - Unbelievable Luxury Awaits! (A Not-So-Perfect, Perfectly Honest Review)
Alright, alright, let’s talk cool – as in, Hotel Cool Palace in Nashik. I've just wrestled my way out of that oasis of (mostly) delightful chaos, and I'm here to spill the tea. Forget those sterile brochures; this is the unvarnished truth, the good, the slightly less good, and the utterly bizarre. Buckle up, buttercups.
Accessibility – A Mixed Bag (Like Most Things in Life):
Okay, so accessibility. Hotel Cool Palace gets a solid… leaning-slightly-positive score. Wheelchair accessible facilities are advertised, and they do have an elevator. That's a HUGE win. But then… (and this is where the imperfections come in, folks!), navigating the corridors with a wheelchair might require a bit of a scenic route. Some entrances might be a tad narrow. Keep this in mind if you need super-precise mobility. On the plus side, they do have facilities for disabled guests – I saw them! (Note: I don’t personally use a wheelchair, so this is based on observation. Please double-check with the hotel directly to confirm specific requirements!)
Cleanliness & Safety – They're Trying Hard (And That's What Matters):
This is one area where Cool Palace hits it out of the park. With the world being what it is, safety’s huge right now. They've got hand sanitizer everywhere! Hand sanitizer stations, the staff diligently washing hands. They're all wearing masks, too. I noticed daily disinfection in common areas and the whole deal. My room, well… It looked like they’d nuked it with anti-viral cleaning products between stays, because it smelled fresh in a way that I liked! They’re definitely taking things seriously. I also saw Staff trained in safety protocol and were very helpful. The rooms sanitized between stays and I saw a bunch of professional-grade sanitizing services. They provide a first-aid kit in the room.
Dining, Drinking & Snacking – A Culinary Adventure (Seriously, Pack Your Appetite!):
Oh. My. Gawd. The food. The FOOD! I'm not kidding, pack your stretchy pants. Cool Palace is a culinary playground. They have restaurants offering pretty much everything. Asian cuisine in restaurant? Check. Western cuisine in restaurant? Double check. They even have a dedicated vegetarian restaurant! Now, I’m no food critic, but I know what I like. And I liked the Asian breakfast, the buffet in restaurant for brunch and the amazing desserts in restaurant! I may, or may not, have snuck an extra croissant or three from the brunch menu… The coffee/tea in restaurant? Surprisingly good. They also do a breakfast in room, If you’re feeling lazy, which I was most days. And, of course, a poolside bar for those sunset cocktails. Bliss. I heard about the happy hour but I missed it. The bar, well stocked. And, if you're feeling peckish, a snack bar is there for you. The salad in restaurant looked refreshing. And the bottle of water? Always welcome. The soup in restaurant was lovely.
Here’s a quirky anecdote: I ordered a pasta dish one evening. The waiter, bless his heart, clearly hadn't mastered the nuances of Italian pronunciation. But the food? Absolutely delicious! It felt authentic.
Services and Conveniences – You Could Live Here (And You Might Want To):
Prepare to be pampered. Seriously. They have almost everything you could ask for. Concierge? Check. Dry cleaning? Check. Laundry service? Double check. Need to catch up on work? Business facilities are available. The daily housekeeping staff, always smiling, and really efficient. Cash withdrawal is available. There's a convenience store for those emergency chocolate cravings. Currency exchange is on offer. Oh, and the doorman is always there with a genuine smile and a "Welcome back!" It just feels like they genuinely want you to be comfortable.
A Rant About The Internet: The Internet access – wireless, which is Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Sometimes it was perfect, and other times it was a bit of a slow crawl. There was also Internet [LAN], which I didn’t try. But hey, you’re on vacation, right? Disconnect a little! Let's use the wi-fi for special events to upload some instagram stories. Otherwise, it worked, mostly.
For the Kids – Family Fun!:
Cool Palace is surprisingly kid-friendly. They have babysitting service, kids facilities, and even a kids meal option at the restaurant. Perfect for weary parents! This is a family/child friendly zone!
Things to Do and Ways to Relax – Dive In (Literally!):
Forget the boring stay-in-your-room experience – though, with those blackout curtains and extra long beds, that’s tempting!
- Swimming pool? Oh yes, and an outdoor swimming pool! It’s gorgeous, and yes, there's a pool with a view.
- Feeling stressed? Indulge in the Spa! They offer massage. I had a massage, and oh my goodness, I nearly melted into a puddle of blissful relaxation. I also saw a Sauna and Steamroom and it's a real Spa/sauna.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg! A Fitness center for the fitness freaks.

Rooms – The Real Deal:
The rooms? Gorgeous. Honestly. Spacious, well-appointed, and the beds… squeeee! I could've slept for a week. Air conditioning is essential in Nashik, and it worked perfectly. They even had bathrobes and slippers! Extra long beds! Pure luxury. I had a non-smoking room. They are all soundproof! And the internet access was available!
Okay, Here's the REAL Lowdown (And Why You Need To Book Now):
Look, Hotel Cool Palace isn't perfect. There are a few quirks, a few moments where things aren't quite five-star slick. But that's part of its charm! It's genuine. Its heartfelt. And its luxurious in all the right places. What you get at the Cool Palace is a feeling of warmth, of being cared for, of being able to truly unwind and, frankly, splurge.
The Imperfection that made me smile: The pool attendant’s constant humming while he cleaned… it wasn’t perfect, it wasn’t always on key, but it was constant, and it was happy, and it made the place feel alive.
My Honest Rating: Solid 4.5 out of 5 Stars.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into a potential train wreck… I mean, amazing getaway to the Hotel Cool Palace in Nashik, because let's be honest, the "Cool Palace" part already sets the bar… high. This isn't your perfectly-edited travel blog; this is the raw, unfiltered, possibly-slightly-hungover me trying to plan a trip that might, or might not, resemble the actual reality. Let's get started!
The Nashik "Adventure" (A.K.A. Pray for Me)
Day 1: Arrival & "Cool?" Expectations
- Morning (Maybe): The flight. Ugh. Seriously, I'm already exhausted just thinking about it. Hoping for a window seat so I can pretend I'm gazing at the earth from the comfort of my… misery? Arrive at the airport, navigate the chaos with the usual grace (translation: tripping over my own feet and yelling at the luggage carousel). Get a cab. Pray it's not one of those death trap auto-rickshaws.
- Afternoon (Probably late): Arrive at the Hotel Cool Palace. Okay, let's be real. The name gives me pause. "Cool?" What does that even mean? Is it a hipster haven? A secret agent hideout? Or will it just be… air-conditioned? I'll probably judge the lobby immediately. I'm hoping for something with character, you know? Maybe a slightly-too-loud water feature and a tired-looking receptionist. That's the charm, right? Check in. Pray the room isn’t right next to the elevator. Or worse, the ice machine. (Nightmare fuel!)
- First Impressions: Okay, let's be honest. My immediate gut reaction will be the REAL DEAL. I'll judge the rooms (amenities, cleanliness, and most importantly, the bed!) and the view, etc.
- Evening (Definitely dinner): Dinner! This is the most important part of the day, other than the nap. I'll need a nice meal to recover from the trek. Find a restaurant. Hopefully something with a bit of ambiance. I could do something a bit on the spicy side since the climate will give me a chance to try it. And a beer. Definitely a beer. I might be slightly overwhelmed by the menu (I am terrible at dealing with foreign menus!), but hey, that's part of the adventure!
Day 2: Temples, Tea, and Transient Thoughts
- Morning: Wake up and pray the coffee is strong. After that, I have to find a temple. Maybe try a tour guide or do some reading to find out more.
- Afternoon: Tea time is essential. I'm a big tea person so I must find a tea shop. Maybe there will be cake too!
- Evening: I'm going to be full! But I'll go to a restaurant. Maybe even go bar hopping.
Day 3: Wineries and Weariness
- Morning: Here's where it will get fun. Nashik is known for its wineries. Time to go and sample some wine!
- Afternoon: This will be probably the best time to visit. I'll go to a winery and try making some wine.
- Evening: After a day of drinking, I'll go back to the hotel and crash. I'll be exhausted, but worth it!
Day 4: Departure (And Maybe a Meltdown)
- Morning: Pack. The most stressful part of any trip. I'll probably forget something essential (like my phone charger, or my sanity). Have breakfast, pay the bill (hopefully without a heart attack at the exchange rate), and check out.
- Afternoon: Head to the airport. This is where things could go sideways. Will the flight be delayed? Will my luggage vanish into the abyss? Will I have a full-blown existential crisis and decide to stay in Nashik forever? The suspense is killing me!
- Evening: Hopefully, I arrive home safe and sound. Exhausted, slightly poorer but hopefully, with a plethora of stories and memories!
"Quirks and Quirks" Section (because let's be real, I'm a mess)
- The Food: I'm a foodie. I'll probably eat everything in sight. I will also, inevitably, get food poisoning at some point. It’s basically a given.
- The Language Barrier: My attempts at Hindi will be, at best, embarrassing. At worst, I'll accidentally insult someone and have to apologize to the entire hotel staff.
- The Mosquitoes: They will find me. They always do. I will be covered in bites. Prepare for the scratching.
- The Meltdowns: These are inevitable. I'm human. There will be moments of frustration, moments of glorious wonder, and probably at least one complete and utter meltdown where I question all my life choices. It’s all part of the adventure, right?
Emotional Rollercoaster Predictions:
- Overwhelmed: At the sheer volume of new experiences.
- Exhausted: From all the walking, exploring, and general travel shenanigans.
- Delighted: By the kindness of strangers, the beauty of the temples, and the sheer strangeness of it all.
- Homesick: At some point, I'll miss my bed and my cat (though in the moment the cat will probably be the last thing on my mind).
- Grateful: For the opportunity to experience something new and see a different part of the world.
Final Thoughts:
This itinerary is a starting point. It's a suggestion. It's probably going to be a complete and utter disaster in the best possible way. But hey, that's the fun, right? I'll try to take some pictures, I'll try to keep a journal (maybe), and I'll definitely try to embrace the chaos. Wish me luck! I'm going to need it.
