The Oberoi Cecil, Shimla
5/5 Excellent
Stunning! Great facilities and service
"The Cecil Oberoi has it all! Luxury, outstanding service, a full set of facilities in a setting of outstanding natural beauty. The staff go out of their way to be welcoming and helpful. This vintage heritage hotel with its matching standard of 5* service could have the potential to seem intimidating, however somehow they combine all this with a friendly atmosphere which makes all guests - even the youngest - feel at home. There is a dedicated area situated on a lower floor given over as an activity centre for children’s games and play. The rooms are supremely comfortable (oh, those pillows and linens!) and a room with a valley view provides a spectacular vista at dawn and dusk! The glass-fronted, heated, indoor pool provides a relaxing space to wind down after a day’s hike. Sheer luxury. Highly recommend."

5/5 Excellent
Perfect stay amidst the beautiful valley of Shimla
"My husband and me were planning for a small vacation to the hills to relax. While looking for good properties to stay, we came across Snow valley. We were impressed by it and booked it and our decision was apt. We had a memorable stay, as the courteous staff made sure that we got everything we wanted. Every staff were helpful and were available at all times. The food was good and they had a good spread at the buffet. If someone is planning with their family to visit Shimla, I would surely recommend to stay at Snow Valley. The place is centrally located and they even arrange for site seeing and cab facilities. Thank you to the entire staff of Snow valley to make our stay beautiful and memorable."

The Zion Hotel
5/5 Excellent
"The views from the property are incredible. The breakfast is great. The other meals are great. Service is great too. Only two things I did not like: ONE: There was a very low wifi signal in the room and I would not recommend the hotel to anyone who needs to work and as cell phone signals at the property are low too. TWO: The bathroom exhaust did not fundtion. So the smell remained in the bathroom for a LONG time."

Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Shimla
5/5 Excellent
Memorable stay.
"Stay in Welcome hotel by ITC was excellent and mind freshening. Staff was spontaneously caring, courteous and brisk. Food was exceptional during our Four days of stay,they were rotating the Meenu intelligently and generously. We came here for complete relaxation, so for us the location of hotel was excellent, very calm, surrounded by pine tree mountains, clean air without traffic sounds. They should improve the WI-FI, of course our 4G was working nicely. "
