Shimla British Resort

A very pretty property!

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 But you need to know the photos are out of date!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.

If you’re looking for a place with character, Shimla British Resort is it! The mix of antique furniture, cozy rooms, and intricate woodwork really made our stay special. The weather in Shimla was cool and crisp, and the resort’s warmth and comfort were exactly what we needed. Babita’s hospitality and the fantastic food made it all the more enjoyable!
