This could be a nice example of colonial architecture but years of neglect have resulted in a cold and draughty building which is also gloomy and grubby. It was cold when we visited but that was normal for the time of year and they should be geared for it. The receptionist was huddled over a propane heater and when we... More

Hotel Springfields is situated approx 7kms from the shopping area of Shimla. It has wonderful views over the mountains, and is an attractive looking old style building. The hotel had belonged to a Maharaja and is furnished with attractive old furniture . We had room no 1 which consisted of a large bedroom with comfy chairs, bathroom, and sunroom with... More

If you stay for one night you will probably hate it, but if you stay longer you may fall in love with it. To start with it seems to exist for the benefit of the staff and the monkeys, breakfast is slow, rooms can be cold, bathrooms basic. It is a guesthouse that has seen better times but the views...

I went with my wife at the weekend to visit Simla and stayed at this hotel for a night. Reaching there - I reached there late evening when the snow had fallen and the roads had gone slippery. Unable to find the hotel at that time, I called in one of the persons at the hotel and to guide me... More

I've stayed in Shimla on two different occasions - once in the summer and recently in Dec 2012.

Having spent about a total of 10 days with my extended family and having spent more than... More

The bed & bathrooms are not the "hotel" kind and below average. If you are not looking at the frills of a... More

I went for a weekend and stayed here. The place is a 30 minute walk from the mall road and was in a quiet place which was the best part. It's not like a hotel but looks like an old house with pretty paintings and carpets. It was quite clean and the staff was helpful too. The food was pretty... More

The Hotel is very purely maintained. Water leakage happens during the rains. There are bad smells inside the rooms. Seems that these are not cleaned or properly dried up (after rain water gets in). Foods are not of high quality. The price is really high compared to the quality. The hotel people say that the lease for this property is... More

I recently stayed at this hotel with my family for 3N 4D. Would like to share some of my experiences happened during my stay. The hotel is a colonial decor to the extent that the furniture is actually ages old. In sofas you will see the foam coming out. The food was not upto the expectation. Special warning- Do not... More
