The Hotel is located very well near to Naldera. This is the only good thing about it. Service is the poorest part. Staff is actually not enough. There are only 3 waiters in whole of the Hotel. There is only 1 chef and 1 person to help the Chef. Hence, when you sit for your evening drinks, you do not... More

Dear Sir Thank you for taking time to review our property. We assure our guests the best of service but at the same time the guests are expected not to misbehave in an inebriated state with other guests and the staff. The guests rooms are in perfect condition and can be verified by photos posted by other reviewers on tripadvisor.... More

We visited the hotel on a weekend, in peak season, when the hotel was full and therefore the observations may just be an aberration. The hotel is 15 km outside Shimla, closer to the Naldera Golf Course. The location is nice, cool and serene. The green lawn and the few apple trees around offers a great feel to the place.... More

Clean (reasonable by Indian standards) and comfortable rooms. Location is beyond Shimla towards Naldhera, which results in peace and quiet but makes Shimla jaunts challenging. Small but charming hotel with a friendly manager and staff. Good (home style) food, but can get crowded when the hotel is full Issues are room service (extremely slow, so stick to the buffets) and...

The hotel is about 15 km away from the city, but located in a nice place. A nice drive to the hotel. A perfect place to unwind and relax. Good and clean rooms. The staff is good. The food is good and reasonably priced.

The hotel is in pretty good condition and well maintained which was a big doubt in my mind after reading some of the reviews here. But the entrance itself cleared the doubt. The hotel staff extended a warm welcome with smiling faces and polite responses. The toiletries were of good quality and the towels and linen was spotless and fresh.... More
