They seated us as we arrived to check in at a seating area where the coffee table was littered with dirty dishes that had not been cleared.
I found hair on my sheets.
Food service was very slow. Dinner took too much time.

Excellent place to stay in Shimla. If you can, stay here. Our first stay here, but would definitely visit again. A Heritage property. Away from the large crowds of Shimla, but also near enough to The Mall. Above all, your stay becomes memorable because of the hospitality of the staff. A big thank you to Ms Swati, GM. She has an excellent Team at the hotel.

History and heritage relived in modern comfort. Hospitality beyond expectation. Cuisine lip smacking. Location central. Interiors charming. Hygiene and cleanliness outstanding. Right from the Hotel Manager to the porch staff, service inobtrusive yet proactive. You have to stay here to make your visit to Shimla complete.

It's 30 mins walk to The Mall and this stretch is very neatly maintained as it is close to the State Assembly. Food at the restaurant is very nice - be it Indian or Continental - even if you demand something not on the menu. The staff at the restaurant makes you feel at home.

Wow! What a fantastic hotel. We had a huge room with balcony overlooking the hills beyond Shimla, fantastic sunrises. The room had everything we could possibly need, and more. The staff were amazing, couldn't do enough, especially Preeti in the restaurant. A drink in the wonderful galleried bar, followed by a delicious dinner in the wood panelled restaurant, great food and great memories. The hotel is only a half hour easy walk from Scandal Point in the centre of beautiful Shimla. We would highly recommend this hotel.
