"My grandfather used to have a house with Shimla so I am very familiar with the place for the last 50+ years. Willow Banks is absolutely the best value for money you can find in the city. Very clean, very well located right next to the iconic mall road, right next to the tourist lift and very good service and clean and large rooms. Also excellent food options either within the hotel or right next door. Perfect place to stay and enjoy Shimla."
"Signed up with Expedia went to property they said no reservation. Spend evening trying to work out with Expedia. Yep said after 30 min we have resolved with property. Assured. Dropped off at check in time. Expedia could not resolve. Said there system not working with Expedia left to figure out . "
"It was a pleasant stay. Staff and owner are very cordial and helpful. It is a fantastic property in a prime location, yet away from city noise. Surrounded by dense forest, the property is a must visit"
"Ambience of a bygone era in a scenic setting. The cook/manager Raviji was very courteous and helpful and made delicious meals. Walkable distance to the Mall yet away from the noise and bustle."
"The room was extremely cold, TV did not work, wifi very bad, no hot water in the bathroom. I had to go to bed to get warm. The person at recreation in the afternoon was rude."
"Access to the mall is the only plus. Furnishings in the rooms are outdated and dirty. I never sat in a sofa before that has no back cushions to support you. No convenient electrical outlets to plug electronics or bedside medical devices like CPAP. Breakfast is same old average tasting buffet. No parking. You may get locked out if you are a late night player. Turns absolutely dark at night even the walkways and stairwells to the rooms, so keep a flashlight on hand.
I give 2-3 stars, only for the...

"L'hôtel est très correct avec une vue géniale sur les montagnes. C'est simple mais tout à fait correct. C'est mis que c'est à 2 minutes de Christ church, mais en fait c'est à 10 minutes, par une montée bien raide. Ça ne nous a pas gênés, mais je pense que c'est important de le savoir. "
"Very friendly staff. Excellent hospitality. Ideal for family stay.
Only dislike was location as it was bit off the road - we had senior citizens with us so walking uphill was bit difficult."
