    We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is perfect, right on the mall and within easy walking distance to everything. The hotel is conveniently located near the tourism lift, making it very convenient for arrival and departure. The staff provided excellent service, with prompt room service and delicious food. The room was spacious and comfortable, with all the necessary amenities provided. The hotel also offers additional services such as car hire, dry cleaning, and laundry. we were very impressed with the quality and comfort of this hotel.

    We would highly recommend this hotel to others.

    Breakfasts were good, esp indian food. Room was spacious and clean with splendid view to the city from balcony. The room was clean regularly. Location is convenient, and noise from the street did not disturb us almost.

    The hotel is quite old and demand renovation.Staff speaks English badly except one person. Reception does not work properly, forget things like ordering taxi, can not calculate money correctly, you need to double check always (as in each place in India by the way :). Breakfast was promised to start at 8 (which is quite late in comparison to other places we stayed before), and never started at 8, normally 8.30.

    Reception staff were unpleasent and uninviting. They could do with a course in customer relations.

    This hotel offers great value for money, with comfortable rooms that have stunning views of the town and the western hills. The staff are very friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant stay. The hotel's location on the mall is extremely convenient, being right next to the tourism lift.

    All was satisfactory, no improvements necessary.

    Stayed at Willow Banks for 2 nights in October. The location of the hotel on the main Mall Road was perfect. We enjoyed the convenience of being able to easily explore and jog along the Mall Road. The rooms were decent and comfortable. The highlight of our stay was the excellent food, whether it was the breakfast buffet or the ala carte menu. The couple spa experience was also fantastic, offering great massages at a reasonable price. we had a good experience, despite the slightly higher prices. Despite a couple of minor drawbacks, I would recommend this hotel for its location, food, and amenities.

    This hotel is located right on the mall, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the shops, eateries, and landmarks. The rooms offer stunning views of the town and surrounding hills, with some even featuring balconies overlooking Shimla. The hotel's attention to detail is evident in its fine dining restaurant, where they serve a sumptuous buffet breakfast.

    Everything was great and there is nothing that needs improvement.

    Great restaurant with delicious food. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making every meal a delight. The hotel is also situated in a convenient location, making it easy to explore the nearby attractions. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, ensuring a good night's rest after a long day of sightseeing.

    The travel arrangements provided by the hotel are not reliable. The travel agent is dishonest and attempts to overcharge for taxi services.

    I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The location is unbeatable - it's right on the popular shopping street making it very convenient to go shopping or visit the main tourist attractions. The staff was incredibly friendly and always ensuring I was comfortable. The hotel facilities were clean and well-maintained, with beautiful views from the top. Additionally, the breakfast was delicious with many options to choose from.

    No negatives from this hotel. It was a wonderful stay, highly recommended to anyone visiting this city.

    We stayed at a hotel located in the center of all the tourist attractions and shopping streets, just a few minutes walk from everything on Mall Road and a craft market. The view from the terrace was great, and the restaurant provided a decent meal. The room was a reasonable size, and the basic facilities worked just fine.

    Sadly, some of the staff members seemed to be undertrained and didn't provide the best service during our time there.

    the location was incredible - right on Mall road, making it super convenient for exploring the city. Secondly, the staff were extremely attentive and provided excellent service throughout my stay. And let's not forget the rooms with balconies, offering stunning views of the valley. Lastly, the breakfast provided was delicious and a great way to start the day.

    All was perfect, nothing to improve.
