The staff wore a smile, the food was good the location excellent, the prices surprisingly reasonable and the rooms were HUGE. The food quality was good and service was prompt.

We had stayed in Hotel Peterhoff for one night. The room was average (Double Bed Room Regular), bathroom was large and clean. The food quality was good. The staffs were cooperative & helpful. Plenty of car parking spaces were available. I love this hotel. But this hotel is around 4km away from Mall Road.

This is a Himachal Pradesh Tourism property! And as most Govt properties tend to be, it has a great view but is poorly maintained! The rooms are large but very shabby! We had two extrabeds in the room which looked like something out of the second world war! The Hotel is badly in need of repair. The service is fairly... More

After independence the building served as Punjab High Court and it was here that the trial of Nathu Ram Godsey, who assassinated Mahatma Gandhi, took place in... More

This is the ideal hotel for those who want to stay away from the maddening crowds at mall road. The hotel is situated in a quiet area with lovely hill views all around it. The rooms are spacious and clean. The hotel is not newly built but very well maintained. A special word for their service and food as it... More

I stayed with my family for a few days in 2005 at Hotel Peterhoff Shimla. Probably the best location in Shimla and food was fantastic and reasonably priced. Walkable to the Mall etc if I remember and the view is just unforgettably beautiful from the hilltop. Owned by HP tourism, they really make you want to go back sometime again.... More
