The resort is perfect in terms of the location and the service and has rooms and the food to match it. The best part of the stay here that my kids were always busy playing video games on Wii and PS3 which gave us a lot of time to relax. The staff is well mannered and courteous. If you intend... More

We had stay for 2 days in this hotel. We were 4 families. Hotel room and location is good but to reach market you would have to wait for at least an hour.

The hotel is located in Mashobra area that seems to be much more in demand than main shimla these days due to better weather and natural greenery around rather than the concrete jungles of Shimla. The food is superb and the staff is also very courteous and polite. Expect greater and personal attention when there are fewer guests around. The... More
