    attentive staff
    confusing arrangements
    inconsistent policies

    Fantastic hospitality from attentive staff.

    My stay was marred by confusing room arrangements. Initially, I was assigned to room 501, but after some confusion, I was moved to room 208. This disruption coupled with the inconsistency in breakfast inclusion policies made my experience frustrating and left me questioning the hotel's organization.

    friendly staff
    interactive cooking class

    Family with children deserves this

    The staff here were nothing short of very nice. Our kids loved every moment, especially the cooking class with the chef, Rajkumar. It was an experience to remember, he took such great care to make sure our dietary preferences were met. While enjoying the delicious food, we felt like guests in a home, where everyone cared.

    It wasn't entirely affordable, but worth every dollar.

    indoor swimming pool
    good location

    It was just a great match for getting around the area in Shimla with very good value for money. The indoor swimming pool was a nice escape, especially during unpredictable weather. Try to check the location first if you enjoy nightlife as it's a bit far from the bustle.

    valley view balcony
    kid-friendly activities

    The beautiful balcony offered amazing valley views, and the pool area was an awesome spot to unwind. The quirky addition of a weather guide was a nice touch that we appreciated during our stay. Plus, the recreational space for kids kept them entertained while we relaxed. A big thumbs up for the warm ambiance throughout our time here!

    valley views
    attentive staff
    limited breakfast
    minimal variety

    The breathtaking valley views from our Premier Valley View Room created a magical atmosphere, enhanced by the attentive staff who were always eager to help. Dining was a delight. the chef personally ensured our meals were exceptional, particularly the chicken dishes that showcased local flavors. While breakfast could have offered a wider variety, the overall experience and warm hospitality made for an unforgettable stay.
