Just liked the vicinity. Mall road and food places were close so didn't have to struggle much.

There was hot water problem and also they should have a facility to provide atleast breakfast to their guests.

yes

location

Location was good. It takes only 2 minutes to the ridge. So you can find restaurants and shops easily. Also view from balcony is beautiful.

Little costly for dormitory.

The location of the YMCA is brilliant especially as its located by Christ Church. If you want a nostalgic experience and comfort is not a priority than I would highly recommend YMCA Shimla, as it has over 80 years history. Most likely built for British Civil Servants. The views are pretty awesome from both the rooms and breakfast areas. Free filtered water system in breakfast breakout area. Good place to refill your bottles. Really clean washrooms. Sinks plus hot water during daytime and evening.

The property is not accessible for disabled persons as there are several stairs up from street level to the hotel and then more steps to your room and the toilets and showers. The room windows cannot be opened as monkeys roam the area.

Great location

Very run down, rooms were dirty, wifi doesn’t reach the bedrooms.

Proximity to ridge, clean hotel.

Lot of steps to climb.... Hostel set-up, so common bathroom

The location and the view from the hostel is the best thing about it. Also breakfast is included which is a bonus.

It’s true that the place has not been upgraded for decades. It’s like stepping back in time. Also everything costs extra, even leaving your bags in the dusty “cloakroom”. Simple requests, like is there somewhere to hang up clothes that got soaked in the rain?, were always met with “no”.

They must offer paid Lunch and Dinner

great staff

running water is a pretty standard amenity. what century is this? owner assured me that it’s like this everywhere, i beg to differ… it’s all fun and games until the toilets don’t flush

This place is well kept, clean and the staff is very nice. Dont go by the mixed reviews. Property is well kept, neat and the staff is vey helpful.

Great location !!! very nice staff, feel like at home, great view !!! the staff give good advices , thanks !!! i was happy to find this guesthouse !

Location and proximity to mall road

Manager and Sain (staff) was good. There was a staff in morning which seems to be an outsider/dealer was very rude and followed me to the bathroom for pending 300 and irritated despite of assuring him that I will pay after sometime

Location - 10/10

No plug point/socket for general purpose use like mobile and laptop battery charging

The staff is very nice. The view from the balcony is amazing.

The bathrooms are not very clean
