Hotel Willow Banks Shimla ★★★★

📍 100m from, Tourism Lift, Mall Rd, Bemloi, Shimla

"Our stay at Hotel Willow Banks was genuinely wonderful. The location couldn’t be better — right on the Mall — yet the hotel feels calm and welcoming. The rooms were comfortable, the staff were kind and always ready to help, and everything ran smoothly from check-in to departure. It felt like a place that truly cares about its guests. We would happily stay here again."

Le Royale Hotel, Shimla
8.6 (43 reviews)

Le Royale Hotel, Shimla ★★★★

📍 Jakhoo Road 1, Shimla

"This was one of our favourite hotels on our Indian travels. A classic period property with lots of original features and a magnificent location overlooking the valleys. It's called Summit because it's up a hill. Rooms are clean and bright. Our had lovely wooden floors and fittings, a spacious marble bathroom, and was well appointed with tea/coffee making facilities, a fridge etc. Staff were very helpful. As a period property, it's single glazed so may get chilly in the snow, but there are extra heaters etc. Breakfast was good - Indian buffet, or eggs cooked to order with toast etc. The dinner buffet was excellent and good value at R600 per person. A hotel like this for under R2,800 is something of a bargain."

Taj Theog Resort & Spa Shimla Hotels in Shimla

Taj Theog Resort & Spa Shimla

"I stayed at Taj Theog Resort & Spa from 15–16 March. While the property itself is visually stunning and the balcony rooms offer breathtaking views, the overall experience was deeply disappointing. The biggest letdown was the food and service—both far below what one would expect from a 5-star Taj property. The food lacked taste and quality, which is surprising given that dining is a core part of hospitality. Service was equally poor. I ordered in-room dining twice, and on both occasions, basic instructions were not followed, requiring me to call back and get the orders corrected. What was more frustrating was the response from the staff when these issues were raised—it felt like either they did not have the time to address concerns or simply did not consider them important enough. Attention to detail was clearly missing. Being served tea in a pot without a lid covered with foil paper as shown in picture attached is unacceptable at this level and reflects a lack of basic service standards. Overall, while the location and views are excellent, the experience is let down by indifferent service and subpar food. Definitely not the standard one associates with the Taj brand."

Wildflower Hall, An Oberoi Resort, Shimla Hotels in Shimla

Wildflower Hall, An Oberoi Resort, Shimla

"My stay at Wildflower Hall was an unforgettable experience, combining luxury, comfort, and breathtaking natural beauty. From the warm welcome on arrival to the attentive service throughout my visit, every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. The outdoor heated jacuzzi surrounded by mist covered mountains was a particular highlight and provided a truly unique experience. It was impressive that Sunit Mukhija the GM met each guest everyday a couple of times to enquire about their comfort. A special mention for Rajat the chef who curated each meal specially for us keeping in mind our dietary requirements. Ravindra from housekeeping ensured that each and every minute detail was looked into so as to make our room as comfortable as possible. His quick response and initiatives deserve appreciation and commendation."

Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Tavleen, Chail Hotels in Shimla

Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Tavleen, Chail

"We stayed at this property last month with our family from Delhi while visiting from Perth, Western Australia, and I can honestly say it was one of the finest hospitality experiences we have had despite travelling extensively and staying at many excellent properties around the world. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, courteous, and genuinely respectful. Whether this is a reflection of the wonderful hospitality culture of Himachal or the exceptional leadership of the team, every interaction made us feel welcomed and valued. The rooms were beautifully appointed, the food was outstanding, and the overall standard of service exceeded our expectations. The property itself is impeccably maintained, set amidst stunning natural surroundings, and offers a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views. What truly stood out was the personal touch provided by the General Manager, Nipun. He was there to welcome us on arrival and made a point of greeting guests each morning at breakfast. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in a tranquil and picturesque setting. We look forward to returning in the future."

Club Mahindra Shimla Hotels in Shimla

Club Mahindra Shimla

"“Myself visited Club Mahindra Mashobra with my family, and it was an amazing experience. This resort is a very beautiful heritage property located near Shimla, surrounded by peaceful mountains and greenery. The atmosphere of the resort is relaxing and perfect for a family vacation. The rooms were very clean, spacious, and beautifully maintained. The mountain view from the room was absolutely breathtaking, especially during the morning and evening time. The overall ambience of the resort gives a premium and comfortable feeling. We also visited Kennedy House Restaurant and the Cosy Nook Bar, both of which were beautifully designed. We really enjoyed the bar experience, food, and hospitality. The food quality was excellent, delicious, and served fresh. The food and beverage service was very quick, professional, and well managed by the team. I would like to give special thanks to Mr. Umesh and team members Manisha, Varun, and Anuradha for their outstanding hospitality and helpful nature. They were always polite, attentive, and ready to help us with a smile. Their service made our stay more comfortable and memorable. Overall, it was a wonderful stay at Club Mahindra Mashobra. I highly recommend this resort to anyone planning to visit Shimla with family or friends. Thank you to the entire team for making our trip special and memorable.”"

The Grand Welcome Hotel Hotels in Shimla

The Grand Welcome Hotel

"⭐☆☆☆☆ This was one of the most disappointing hotel stays I’ve had, primarily because the experience was nowhere close to what was advertised or what the price suggested. The first red flag is the location and approach road. The hotel is located off the main Shimla route, and the final stretch of nearly 1 km is through extremely narrow, secluded roads with little to no lighting. Arriving after dark is uncomfortable, and at several points you genuinely wonder whether there could even be a hotel at the end of such a road. The disappointment continues upon arrival. The property looks and feels more like a basic 2-star hotel rather than the 4-star property portrayed online. I paid around ₹10,000 for the room at 5 PM, trusting the ratings and photos. To my surprise, when I checked later that evening around 8 PM, the same room was available for approximately ₹4,000. Frankly, the hotel feels much closer to a ₹4,000 property than a ₹10,000 one. Had I paid the lower rate, my expectations would have been very different. The room itself had an unpleasant smell, and the bathroom was worse. There was a foul odor, and basic toiletries were missing. The overall condition of the room did not reflect the standards expected from a premium-priced hotel. Breakfast the next morning was another letdown. The spread was very basic, consisting mainly of bread, eggs, and cold parathas. While this may be acceptable for a budget hotel, it is not what guests expect when paying premium rates and booking a property marketed as a 4-star hotel. Overall, the hotel is significantly overpriced for what it offers. Poor accessibility, underwhelming facilities, smelly rooms, and a very average breakfast make it difficult to recommend."

"I usually don't write negative reviews, but this place genuinely earned one. If your dream vacation involves staying in a room that feels like a medieval dungeon, waking up to noise instead of peace, and questioning every hospitality standard you've ever known, then congratulations—you've found the perfect hotel. The grand welcome? Morning tea served in cups that looked like they had simply been recycled from the previous guest without meeting soap or water. Nothing builds confidence quite like wondering whose lipstick mark you're drinking from. The room was dark, gloomy, and depressing. Forget mountain vibes—it felt like the walls themselves had given up on life. The service deserves a special mention, not because it was good, but because I've rarely seen people move with such remarkable indifference to paying guests. The most impressive achievement of this property is that it manages to make you want to spend as little time there as possible. In a destination as breathtaking as Shimla, that's quite an accomplishment. Shimla deserves your time. Your hard-earned money deserves better. Your vacation certainly deserves better. Unless you're conducting research on how not to run a hotel, save yourself the disappointment and book somewhere else. There are countless better options. This place isn't one of them."

"We stayed here for three days, and the staff was extremely rude and lacked basic manners while speaking to guests. When we asked for assistance with parking, no one was willing to help. On top of that, they are demanding advance payment for all three days. Overall, it was a very disappointing and poor experience."

Hotel Willow Banks Shimla ★★★★
"Stayed at Hotel Willow Banks on a recent trip and came back quite satisfied with the experience. The hotel has a distinct old-world charm which actually adds to the overall feel of being in Shimla rather than staying in a generic modern property. The room we stayed in was comfortable, with a good amount of space and a nice outlook. One of the best parts is how conveniently located the hotel is — you’re right in the middle of Mall Road yet the property itself feels tucked away enough to relax. We also appreciated having multiple dining options within the hotel, which made evenings easy after a long day of exploring. The staff was friendly and helpful whenever required. All in all, a well-located and comfortable place to stay."

Storii by ITC Hotels Narindera Orchards, Kufri ★★★★★
"My recent 60-minute spa therapy at ITC Storii Kufri was an absolutely phenomenal experience. The tranquil atmosphere immediately put me at ease before the treatment even began. A special mention goes to my amazing therapist, Aarushi, for their exceptional skill. Their technique was incredible, completely melting away all my stress and muscle tension. By the end of the session, I felt deeply relaxed, rejuvenated, and fully refreshed. I highly recommend booking a treatment here if you want a truly world-class, relieving spa experience!"
