Great value for a very good property
Pros:

Magnificent location and staff very efficient. Great views, rooms were clean and amenities very good. Food was lovely.

Cons:

Nothing I can think of, other than it is quite a distance from the Mall so hiring of car is necessary-difficult to walk there due to roads

Best for rooms with spectacular views.
Pros:

Great view! You can watch the whole city of Shimla that lights up like a string of jewels at night. Had an east facing room, so got to watch the sun rise from behind the hills. Also, superb breakfast menu and staff.

Cons:

The price, plus booking.com needs to mention the "goods & service" taxes in the hills.

Very good
Pros:

Beds were comfortable and view from bar/restaurant were great.

Cons:

-Quite a distance from the Mall and centre.
-The deluxe double room we reserved did not have the view on the photo on booking.com. Instead our room faced a wall! Had we known we might have booked somewhere else.
- Food was average.
