The hotel is pretty close to the bus stop and the railway station. Myself and my wife walked along the track to reach... More

This hotel is average and maybe ok as a stop gap arrangement. I was here for only one night in October 2011 and I put up in a room for which they charged INR 1000 (~20 USD) but they had a luxury room for INR 5000 as well. The INR 1000 room was fine for the price. The room is... More

This is good hotel with spacious but old fashioned rooms. The rooms are not very well maintained but reasoablly clean. All basic aminities such as parking, lobby, spacious toilet, gyser and linen is provided. The hotel is well situated and can accessed by walk and motor. Mall road is also at walkable distance. More

Probably the worst hotel in Shimla. The employees here have a serious attitude problem. Typical Indian government employee types. They made us wait for a long time before check in as the laundry staff was late. The hotel is in a run down condition and not clean. A cup of not so good coffee costs Rs.60/- The Only good thing...

This is a hotel run by a state government agency and as can be expected both service and quality leave much to be desired. The check in process was relatively painless. The rooms are moderately priced (I had an executive room at approximately $ 85 per night. The age of the hotel shows and the amenities are modest. However the... More

Though rooms are less spacious but still they are VFM, the service is nice and housekeeping staff and waiters are quite professional and polite. There is... More
