Shimla British Resort

The room was different than the one shown in the pictures while booking. The wasroom was not clean, there were webcobs, floor was stained, no toileteries were present, cups were missing, drinking water wasn't there. Bathing water wasn't available even after many reminders.

So be warned - the photos shown on their webpage are not the average room! For what we paid for our room it should have been cheaper as it was basic - however, we were our and about most of the time so it did what it needed to do for us. But you need to know the photos are out of date! The restaurant was nice, breakfast was super. The chap who helped us was lovely - the two members of staff we met were friendly and helpful. The location is picturesque and quiet - but be warned however that the slope to/from the hotel from the road is VERY steep. Not for the unfit! Not good for disabled/hard of walking. Location due to its quiet nature is a little out from the centre if Shimla but it's a pleasant walk and safe at night. We were worried about dogs at night but no need to be concerned. The owner (we assume) who lives at the lodge before you arrive at the main rooms has a large St Barnard who was barky but no concern. They're building a massive hotel behind the main rooms, so your view from one perspective is beautiful, and the other a large construction site!!! Overall, good for location and peace, overpriced really for the room we had.

The moment we stepped into Shimla British Resort, we were in awe of the lovely antique furniture and beautiful woodwork that gave the place a true heritage feel. The cozy bedrooms were perfect for the chilly weather, and waking up to the cool Shimla breeze was so refreshing. Babita and the team were always around to assist, making our stay all the more pleasant. A must-visit if you love history and comfort!
