"The Orchid Shimla is a premier hotel with superior service, dynamic dining, and excellent creature comforts. The staff at Orchid Shimla is very well trained to anticipate and meet your needs.

Views from the dining room overlook Shimla valley which adds to the wonder. The pastry chef took time to answer our...

"The views from the property are incredible. The breakfast is great. The other meals are great. Service is great too. Only two things I did not like: ONE: There was a very low wifi signal in the room and I would not recommend the hotel to anyone who needs to work and as cell phone signals at the property are low too. TWO: The bathroom exhaust did not fundtion. So the smell remained in the bathroom for a LONG time."

"This hotel is set up high near what is called The Mall which is a long retail street. You are not allowed to drive to the hotel as vehicle access is not allowed to the area so your bags have to be carried by porter. The hotel has spectacular views, the staff are friendly and helpfull. There is a good restaurant and importantly the location is great to walk to points of interest."

"We booked the Manor Luxury apartments for our first road trip in India. After hours of driving on scenic, broad, then narrow and winding roads, we arrived at the apartment in time for the most beautiful sunset over the mountains😍😍 Check in: 💯super easy and the staff ensured we were set up in the apartment before coming over to collect our check in documents. I really liked this coz I had a chance to settle the kids, take in the sunset, then do paperwork. Apartment: 💯clean, well...

5/5 Excellent

"Very clean and neat. Excellent staff. Fully heated rooms"

3/5 Okay

Hotel should be delisted for fraud

"MUST READ. Hotel did not honour booking through hotels.com and I had no choice but to pay an increased price for the room again. Case is registered with Hotels.com Apparently the hotel has changed ownership, the new owner has nothing to do with hotels.com and states he does not receive any money. Upon arrival in freezing cold, wind and rain, we had little choice but to pay 30% more, and pay for a full night stay. Hopefully hotels.com will refund the booking amount charged as we booked through their platform. Additionally, you have to pay extra for a heater if you want one in the room, which would be essential if you dont want to turn to ice in the night. Room was clean and comfortable, bathroom has a pungent smell. Long tiring walk to the mall. View was good. Very noisy with other customers, can hear everything from reception to children screaming."
