The only negative thing i feel about this hotel is its a 100 meter from the main road and only choice we want to reach there is walk through a steep road.Rest all other things tht is rooms,food,ambience,service,location, all i have only one word to say "EXCELLENT".No wonder why ths hotel came in to 3rd rank in shimla .Once if we stay there we will know tht.............

For the price we were paying we expected more of the rooms. Although the mirrors in the room allow for creativity :)
The location is excellent, it is I'm the quiet side of the mall with very nice views from the rooms and the restaurant.
Staff is friendly and helpful, do tip the porter well on the way in these guys work hard for their money and save you the back pain as the hike is tough from where taxis park to the lobby.
Breafasts where the bests we had in India. They introduced us to Puri Baji and we thanked them for that all the way to Leh.
very good located ,this hotel is in close vicinity of market and main road , rooms are nice and clean , it has all the facilities and staff are co operative and good , food is also nice ,over all a nice place to stay in budget
As others have commented, the view from this place is stunning. However, it's at the far end of the mall away from most of the action. So be prepared for lots of hilly walking.
If you speak the local language, this place is probably great. As we did not, it was very difficult to communicate with the hotel staff. For example, no one at the front desk could understand our request to have a working light in the bathroom. We had to remove the bulb and coax someone into the room before they understood the issue. Even then, they still didn't fix the problem (I think it was a problem with the outlet vs. the bulb), but we were too frustrated to pursue it further. No one could give us simple directions to things like the main bus station, even with the use of a map! And don't even think of asking for someone's opinion about the best sights or nature walks. . .
Regarding food, it was really hit or miss. For example, one of our masala dosas had a warm filling while the other was cold. It was also pretty unappetizing to hear the cook constantly coughing and hocking while preparing the food. I got sick 2 days later -- coincidence??
Other minor thing - We purchased a package that promised tea, hot milk, and cookies nightly. They did not provide this.
If I had a do-over, I'd look for a place that is more central and has at least one staff member who can speak or understand English.
Stayed at this hotel for 2nights. loved the location..absolutely amazing views of valley. Another plus point was their restaurant. we did not buy a package with buffet option but we ended up eating breakfast and all meals. Tasty food and good service.
Road to hotel is indeed steep incline but manageable. you can request porter services through hotel for you luggage, though that will cost you 100bucks. otherwise very clean rooms and excellent service.
I stayed there in june 2010, a great hotel with great view from the top. Located in the heart of the city with picturesque views and great restuarant. Good food, great rooms and nice hospitality. A nice hotel to spend holidays.
