Pros:

Location to rail station, the service from staff and assistance

The lack of a lift, the showers not working fully, it was hardly any water coming through and it was either piping hot or freezing cold but for one night it did the job

Pros:

Mega convenient for early train to Simla. Dinner, cooked in the hotel kitchen, was very tasty and good value.

Cons:

The kettle provided in the room did not fit the base provided, so there was no way it would ever heat water. The window frames could do with a good clean.
