The hotel was very tired looking and needs money spent on it especially the price they are charging. We have stayed this trip in Homestays at a fraction of the price with more modern bathrooms and dining rooms. However the reception and dining room staff were very polite and helpful and the hotel does have a really modern tv lounge room with pool table which is so totally different to the rest of the rooms. It’s a shame they have not refurbished everywhere like this. Also the previous reviews mention a steep slope leading up to the hotel. We are very fit and this would not be suitable for anyone disabled or an elderly person with difficulties walking. The cars can’t ascend it and guys from the hotel carry the luggage up for you. This is a feature of the hotel which needs considering especially when you are in and out so many times throughout the stay.

A great hotel with breathtaking views of Shomal and the surrounding hills. Close to the Mall and central landmarks. Very attentive and helpful staff. The food on the restaurant is excellent and the buffet breakfast is well worth the money. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend the Honeymoon Inn. There was only one drawback, considering how wet Shimla can be, the hotel needs to make provision for guests to be able to dry their wet clothes.

It is a good hotel, but it's location is not user friendly for families with old people or small kids as it is at an uphill treking distance of approx 400 mtr from the main road and the hotel taxi (a maruti van) has limited operations. Not a recommendable hotel for elderly or small children.

was fantablous

The hotel is located at the top where you can see the whole city of shimla along with the sunset. The staff were very friendly and professional. We had stayed in the honeymoon room and must say that the room was comfortable and clean. Food was very delicious and fresh.You can feel the tranquility and complete silence when u sit in the garden and watching the lush green forest and pine woods...

Good Hotel.

I liked staying at this hotel. I will rate this hotel as 3 star and not as 4 star hotel. Pros: 1. Excellent valley view 2. Food is good liked the lunch and dinner provided at hotel restaurant 3. Room Facilities are Ok 4. Staff is good 5. Liked the entertainment options provided by hotel (Karaoke, Caram board, pool table etc..) Cons: 1. Breakfast Buffet menu doesn't have much options. Same breakfast was given on FRI & SUN morning. 2. TV did not worked properly during our stay.. Cable issue every time and Hotel stuff was not prompt in resolving the issue quickly even when we were staying in the most expensive room(Honeymoon Suite). Cable connection was from some local vendor.. That gave me a feeling of some low standard hotels.

The hotel staff very nice and helpful. on checking there was a confusion about my room type. which was quickly resolve. very pleasant and memorable stay there . the staff will go the extra mile to help . the food was excellent Bravo chef. will definitely return if visiting Shimla again

Take care of the monkeys, no bar,excellent service, pick n drop to MC parking by car, slightly costly according to the hotel's location and ambience , Walk 300 mt to right from the Mall rd lift to reach the hotel. But it was a nice stay.

Hotel provides stunning view of Shimla however there is a steep climb of about 100 MTS to the entrance which has to be covered on foot making it possibly difficult for senior citizens.

Good place to stay with a view to match. Management are trying their best to improve and maintain what is work in progress. only suitable for able bodied due to steep walk from the road

Good location - short walk down hill to shops, market and resturant. There were building works going on while we were there which was not a pleasant wake up call. Hotel staff have limited English and do expect tips. Clean room. Shower ok. Many if electric plugs do not work. Can use room service to get hot drinks. Provided with a drink on arrival. Nice views from window. Safe hotel.

The staff are all very helpful which makes up for the more limited facilities. but the views frim the hotel ardor great and it is in a good location.

It was really nice and pleasant stay.staff is also very friendly..

When arriving in Shimla ask the taxi to take you to the Marina hotel. This is the nearest point the taxi will be able to get. Then use a porter for your bags or phone the hotel and ask them to send theirs. 50 rupees per bag is well worth the money. You have to be half mountain goat to walk upto the first level where a lift is available to take you up 4 further floors to reception. The hotel has a decent breakfast and evening buffet. The front desk and staff are friendly and helpfull. The mall is by the marina hotel and you can walk to restaurants and shops easily. The taxi fare is 250 rupees. The monkey temple and the nehrila golf club were enjoyable trips as was the Viceroy lodge. The rooms are basic but functional for the price.

Excellent property & service. However you need to climb a few stairs & walk up hill for at least 200 meters.

Great place to spend time!

All is gr8 with the hotel with an exception of parking problem. If u r on your own vehicle you will have to park it at public parking @ Rs 250 for every 24 hrs and reach your car at carter road you will have to go via taxi or take a looooong walk..

I stayed @ Honeymoon Inn, Shimla from 10th -14th May 2013 and it was awesome staying here.

The hotel is right at the very end of the Mall in Shimla and could easily be missed. It is set up the hill with beautiful views. The rooms are spacious and clean and the staff very friendly. The food in the restaurant is excellent and was some of the best we had in India, particularly when you order from the very reasonably priced a la carte menu.

Good location - very close to the Mall Road still away from clutter. No cars are allowed for somedistance which could be challege for senior citizens. The food is excellent and overall look is good. Great view of Valley from each room.

The location of the hotel is very good! It's so near to the Mall Road which is considered to be heart of the city, still the hotel is quite away from the hustle bustle and the crowd. So you get best of both the worlds. The food, the service and the personal attention was excellent! All in all a good choice if you plan to stay in Simla.

The location and views of Shimla are exceptional. Staff were very helpful and prompt in their responses to any requests. Food in the restaurant was very good and reasonably priced. Taxis can't drive up to the property so you have to walk the last 100 metres or so.
