Book a Shimla Cottage

"It was great. Staff was very courteous. "

"Yes"

"Hotel is clean and same as what it has been shown in the pictures. From the rooms you have a good valley view. Food at restuarant is good. They have a buffet breakfast. Only issue I found is the distance from the Mall Road. Everytime the taxi charge 500 rupees for one way to Mall Road. Hotel should provide free shuttle at least 3 to 4 times in a day for their guests. rest everything is okay"

"Great location and lovely views from the balcony. Bed was very comfortable"

"Excellent place to stay at a reasonable rate. "

"Very Nice, Quiet place. Rooms are well maintained. Staff is polite. Only thing missing was some amenities or games to spend time. Close to mall road and good parking space. "

"Great stay "

"I guess you get what you pay for - so if you are only interested in a low price and not what the stay is like - ignore the rest of this. But here is a sampling of the issues. A very very steep drive in with shear drop offs (you have have an experienced driver). The website claims there are mountain views - I could not see that any room had that - I was in the largest building and top floor and there was another building standing in the way plus tall trees that obscured any view of the mountains. The staff wants to be helpful and are well intentioned but they are poorly trained. As an example - cleaning - there were empty coke and beer bottles on the balcony from the previous guests as well as cigarette ashes & candy wrappers. I asked to have this cleaned up but the staff cleaner only took away the bottles - the ashes and wrappers remained. There were cob webs in the bathroom. The facility is in shambles and needs a complete renovation (wires hanging off fan connected by cheap tape; peeling paint on doors and elsewhere, peeling fake wood laminate floors, doors that don't close properly etc). The room I had had a small padlock on the main door that first of all was very difficult to get through the latch because the latch was not in line - I had to kick the latch to get it on enough to put on the padlock. A well aimed hit with a small hammer would allow entry. Coming in, you are greeted with a massive ugly cement unfinished structure which is abandoned."

"Its a very nice property "
