I have stayed at many hotels in Shimla, including the other properties of Oberois like the Wildflower and Cecil. However I enjoyed my stay at Clarkes the most. The staff is very warm and welcoming. They made sure that we were comfortable and went out of their way to meet some of our special requests. I am very thankful to... More

Though not an edifice, the Clarkes Hotel,Shimla is a classic of its kind. Located on an extremely vantage position- the aorta of Shimla- the Mall, the hotel manages to pamper the guests amidst the languid and the tranquil surroundings. Proper British, this cute cottage hosting 50 rooms has an air of authenticity,exclusiveness, the imperial theme and above all the hospitality.... More

We booked the Clarkes directly with Dolly Tanwar. Our Stay for 5 days and 4 nights was made most enjoyable by the entire staff's courtesy and hospitality. We were welcomed very well and the entire check in process was really smooth. Dolly was most welcoming and looked after all our needs during the stay. The dinning room staff was also... More

We had a wonderful stay at Clarkes in Shimla. Clarkes is located right on the main walking street of Shimla, Mall Road. 5 minutes walking and you're at the centre of Shimla's tourist area. The hotel is immaculately kept, resembling the old style British feels. The service is amazing, room service was the best (try the butter chicken). The rooms... More

We were given a palatial suite consisting of a lobby, a sitting room, a dressing room, a bathroom and a bedroom. It was clean and well furnished and once the heaters were going full pelt, warm. As the building is old the floors and the bed were on a slant. There is no lift so it took me a long... More

Breakfast was excellent. Our one criticism would be the level of internet charge, but we were given a recommendation to one of the... More

Me and my wife went to Shimla for celebrating my wife's birthday. We went to Clarke's for room and we were greeted by the most amazing person, Dolly. We told her that we are here to celebrate my wife's birthday and she instantly upgraded our room from Super Deluxe to Suite and suite was excellent. Nice, big rooms and service... More

Please dont go with any pre-concieved notions about staying in a Heritage hotel. It is a Heritage hotel but in literal sense....too old and completely run down. They gave us the basement rooms and they are just pathetic. Rooms on the first floor and above are much better and we were shifted there next day. Breakfast is just about okay.... More

Nothing to disappoint about this hotel. Right on th Mall for easy travelling about the town. Very easy town to be in too. No pestering from hawkers. Bliss! The lower market was full of Indians shopping and was cheap and very interesting.
