I was charmed by the historical ambiance of the place adorned with Art Deco artifacts, but the room experience left much to be desired. Despite the spaciousness, the rooms had issues with loose wiring, malfunctioning heater/AC, and needing a serious upgrade. The satisfaction of very hot showers from a boiler system was a saving grace amidst the discomfort.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of charm and quirks. The warm rooms with hot showers and rich history made it special, but the intrusive staff behavior was a bit off-putting. The location near popular spots and safety ensured a satisfying experience.

The hotel's prime location near Mall Road in Shimla, close to government residences, was its biggest strength. It felt like stepping back in time to the era of royalty when Shimla was the summer capital of India.

The hotel carries a rich heritage, offering a tranquil location just a stroll away from the bustling town. The rooms, though in need of refurbishment, are immersed in antique charm. The service is impeccable, with courteous and discreet staff. The dining options, unfortunately, lack variety, but the local heritage is well-preserved.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The warmth and very hot showers provided by the boiler system in my allocated room were pleasant, but the poor condition of the outhouse was disappointing. The history and multitude of Art Deco artifacts were enjoyable highlights of the stay.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel with its rich history and beautiful Art Deco artifacts. We enjoyed the charm of the antique rooms despite some maintenance issues such as loose wiring. The hot showers were a treat, but an upgrade is definitely needed. The service was mixed but overall decent, with a mix of helpful and high-headed staff members. The location was peaceful, a bit out of town but still within walking distance to Shimla center. The dining experience was lacking in options and quality, a letdown compared to the overall ambiance. The facilities could be improved for a more comfortable stay.
