    Located almost at the top of the mountain, the location and view from the common terrace area is amazing. Its only a 10-15 minutes walk from mall road, but the climb could be exhausting for non trekkers. The north indian veg food was amazing. Highly recommended for solo and group travellers.

    The Hosteller Shimla provided a wonderful experience. The clean and well-maintained rooms were a highlight, and the staff's hospitality was top-notch. Mr- Sandeep And Vibha stood out for his professionalism and helpfulness. They made our stay even more enjoyable. Love the Mall. It's clean as it is no vehicle zone. Church, Library, Municipal Office and shops are very good.We highly recommend this hostel

    It's very good stay for couples and friends. I want to inform you that, the hotel location near the mall road but as per the shimla government mall road is no vehicle zone area , so u need to walk at least 15 to 20 min to visit the hotel otherwise hotel facilities and staff behaviour is every good. And I am happy with this property

    For me the blankets were not warm enough. In the dorms, the locker locks should be inclusive.

    Hosts were very welcoming, warm, helpful...the best hosts. Room was clean, toiletries re-filled, top-notch concierge.
