Hotel Maharaja - Shimla    Share

Curteous staff, clean rooms, nearest to the the mall, one of the best value for money hotel in shimla.

Not an good option. That's an one liner I can say about this hotel as it has more cons than pros. Cons: 1. Location - one of the biggest disadvantage of this hotel. Cars cannot reach to this hotel, it's even far from Mall road so not even a we can say walking distance from Mall road, and the main way to their hotel is that you have to walk all the way up on the hill and with your heavy luggage. 2. View - If you want a hotel with good view, then unfortunately this is not the right option. This hotel is surrounded by buildings so hardly 2 rooms have mountain view. 3. If you are going in winters, so heater is a mandatory thing and they will charge extra for that, 500rs per day which you need to keep in mind before keeping the hotel budget. 4. Restaurant - As there are no restaurants nearby, so only option left is to have food in hotel restaurants which is not at all tasty. Pros - After the cons of this hotel, let's have some pros of this hotel. 1. Hot water Issue - I have encountered water issues at some other hill stations, but I haven't faced hot water issues in this hotel. 2. Reaching to the hotel with your luggage is a big big issue, but one good thing is that hotel folks can arrange a porter for your luggage if you call them, but ofcourse we have to pay them extra. 3. Room size was okay, like a standard size. So, I personally faced those cons and have a more impact than pros. That was my genuine review. :)

Decent hotel. Cars don't reach here, so you'll have to lug your baggage up to the hotel. Hotel's good though.

This hotel is no longer in tie up with OYO. Had to pay more in order to get a stay there. The quality has fallen a bit since I have visited this place twice. Mall road is at a distance of 10 minutes. There are lot of monkeys around. If you leave the windows open the monkeys will come in. Can't roam around alone at dark as the monkeys also steal things from your hand, especially food. The food service is good and hygiene. The staffs are polite. Rate is little on the higher side. I was charged 4k per night.

I stayed for one week and i loved shimla and maharaja hotel
