    Overall stay was good . They will charge extra for towel. Location was just beside the elevator for mall road which is very convenient. Food quality was average but quanty was huge and price of the food was reasonable. Overall 4 out of 5.

    veronica n.group

    Best stay is shimla. Great location, Accomadation &ammenities. Everything thing was satisfying and worth the price you pay. The housekeeping part need to be improvised and can do better.The floor mat in the room we stayed was dirty full of hair strainds that too white hair 👩‍🦳 need to be vaccumed or changed.The condition wasn’t better even after we asked them for cleaning it up.

    The stay was very good, and this is the second time I've stayed at Shalom Hostel. The first was in Rishikesh, and now Shimla. The only thing they need to understand is that if couples or family members are taking a private room, they should be allowed to eat food in the room.

    🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Absolutely Exceptional Stay! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The hotel’s ambiance is a perfect blend of luxury and comfort — every detail feels thoughtfully designed. My room was spotless, spacious, and offered breathtaking views. The service was truly outstanding; every staff member went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect. The food was a delightful experience — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. What impressed me most was the attention to detail — from the fragrant fresh flowers in the lobby to the seamless check-in process, everything reflected top-class professionalism. I left with unforgettable memories and a heart full of gratitude. This hotel is not just a place to stay — it’s an experience worth cherishing. Highly recommended!
