We booked a last minute one night stay at Le Royale. The hotel itself looks really nice--it has a sort of colonial feel to it. The rooms are well-decorated and fairly clean (except the sheets, which had stains on them), and the beds are comfortable. The telephone in our room was broken. The best part about the hotel was the... More

I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights.. Got a room for 1600 / night (no inclusions)... Average room, old TV, old furniture.. not well maintained... Only positive is its location.. it is sitting on top of ridge.. the centre point of Shimla.. Bad Service: My room was not cleaned and I had to explicitly get it serviced after I... More

I stayed at this hotel 2 nights. All staffs and manager are very nice and helpful. They recommended any places where I should visited otherwise I must missed Viceregal lodge :). The hotel is located not too far from mall road just around 5 min walk down the hill.

Excellent service from very friendly and courteous staff. In fact a number of establishments in the ridge would do well to send their staff to the hotel to see how visitors should be treated. Rooms were clean and comfortable with fresh towels every day. Manager took an interest in guests and was very helpful in arranging taxis whenever needed. Would... More

This is a very friendly and comfortable hotel, just 5 minutes up hill from the Mall. A bit tricky to find but well worth the look. Excellent meals in the restaurant and great rooms many with views. We have been back 3 times now and love the place. Highly recommended.

If least bit hospitality is what you are expecting of a hotel in order to make your stay in Shimla as pleasant as the weather there, STAY AWAY from this place. If easy accessibility to and from the hotel is what you are expecting of a hotel, STAY away from this place. Contrary to what you would believe going by... More

We were visiting India from US and decided to go to Shimla too for vacation to chill out. We never expected that a hotel with rating of 8 out of 98 on tripadvisor will turn out a nightmare. Here is brief synonpsis & recommendation. Manager & some of the support staff are among the most rude people you'll ever meet;... More

We stayed for 3 night and found the staff extremely helpfull and the atmosphere agreable. The best rooms have a fantastic view over Simla, the restaurant is pleasant with good food though we found English breakfast a bit expensive. According to European standard the rooms are clean but maintenance (light bulbs, electric fittings) could be improved. Any problem we had... More
