A Hidden Gem in Shimla Where do I begin? There are so many wonderful things about this hotel. Location: The location is unbeatable. Nestled in the Shimla mountains, it's right next to the Jakhu temple, offering stunning views and a peaceful environment. I stayed in a corner room, which I highly recommend—it’s amazing with a giant tree overlooking the room. Transportation: For travel, you can arrange taxis or rent a moped from Victor at Himalayan Moto Quest for 800 rupees per day plus a returnable deposit of 3000 rupees. The moped ride around Shimla from the hotel is incredible. Driving is safe, and the drivers are quite good. Rooms: The rooms are clean and I’d rate them as 2-star by UK standards and 3-star by Indian standards, but the food is definitely 5-star. I’ve traveled across India for a year, and this place is among the top 3 hotels I’ve visited, including many 5-star ones. The dinner meals are top-level artisan street food—if you're British, you'll know what this means. Facilities: The bathroom facilities are clean, with hot and warm water. They’re practical, not fancy, but considering the incredible value for the location and food, they’re more than sufficient. The food is so cheap but so good—it really is the best. Breakfast: Breakfast is good with plenty of selection for everyone. Staff: If there was a 6-star rating for staff, this place would get it! The owner is lovely, always on hand, and really helpful with taxis and local information. The staff are amazing, eager to serve, and have a good standard of English, which is very helpful. Nothing is too much trouble, and you can clearly see they are well-treated and highly motivated. The owner has an international background in hospitality and has clearly invested time in training and motivating his team. Overall, throughout all of India—and I have traveled extensively—this place for a mid-budget stay is No. 1. You would be a fool not to book it.
