The 10 best Bed and Breakfast Inns in Shimla, India

May 13, 2023 Sheron Bogner

Snow-capped Himalayan peaks and green pastures surround Shimla, the capital of Himachal Pradesh. Enjoy a heritage walk through Shimla’s Victorian-era architecture, labyrinthine bazaars and lengthy pedestrian shopping mall. Don’t cause too much trouble taking in the town from Scandal Point, a large, open square; keep in mind that Shimla was a retreat destination for Mahatma Gandhi, who frequented a Georgian mansion in Shimla’s suburbs from the mid-1930s to '40s.

Bad experience waste of money

Reviewed By Happiness526953

I travelled Hotel Springfield in the month of April 2020 to the hotel at the first glance look majestic and mind blowing from outside but there was some different story when we checked in . We stayed at room number 203 which was a deluxe room. But the doors of the hotel were flimsy and there was no proper lock in them the toilet tap was broken and the towel holder was also in same condition. We were staying in deluxe room and to my surprise there was no ventilation there was no air conditioning and not even a fan in the room so after request they arranged for a stand fan which made horrible vicious noise for the whole night and we couldn’t sleep at all. The carpet was shabby and it had some kind of sharp object which got into my feet also the door mats were not clean and the flooring made horrible creaking sound while walking on them the curtains were very dirty and roasted in sunlight so basically the whole room look like a haunted house. If you are interested in ghosts and supernatural things Dooj select this hotel because I am sure you will get the vibe in that place. The behaviour of the staff was very very good everybody was welcoming and they welcomed us with their full capability but the problem is not in the stuff but the owner who doesn’t spend a single penny in maintaining such a beautiful place it was only the lack of maintenance that made the hotel a horrible experience but the staffs were really really good. Also to mention ultrabook my travel via MMT and do they told it is near to Mall Road but in reality it is not near to Mall Road in fact it is not even in Shimla it is actually located in a place called Chhota Shimla which is at least 2.5 km away from the mall Road so every time you need to travel to mall you have to take either a bus or you have to depend on your good old legs.

I had an awesome experience staying at Sidharth. The staff was very helpful and courteous. They are doing a great job. Right from Mr. Rakesh at reception to the captains in kitchen they did a wonderful job. I am saying this after staying there for 6 nights. Special mention to Mr. Madan - the chef & Mr. Madan - Captain, both served us some yummy food. Most of the starters were repeated for eating them once didnt satisfy us. All the best team Hotel Sidharth from Room# 202 & 203....
