    Your own home in shimla

    abhay.solo

    To be honest this was one of the best stay experiences for me. The hospitality they give you is so amazing and this place very very affordable. Staff is also very humble and help you with all while you are in shimla . So take my advise book this right now. I am from maharashtra so this is definitely not a paid review.

    Not upto the mark as expected

    amit.group

    No facilities provided by the manager even drinking water not done warm by the service person. Beds were not provided as per mention in booking. Rooms are not properly cleaned. Rooms are small as shown in pictures. Service boy behave is good but obviously he's in pressure of manager. Charges extra 2000 for extra mattress only instead of single bed. One room geyser is not working. We were booked for our ease but we face irritations during the stay. looks into to improve.

    Remote location and poor food arrangement

    shivendra s.

    Hotel rooms space and view is good but location is remote location you have to change two bus to reach old shimla bus stand. One bus from property to state bank and then from state bank to old shimla bus stand. Although food can be available at property but quality and hygiene is poor. I ordered rice and dal but dal was half cooked. You did not get good food at near by location of this home stay. And no night life from this hotel due to remote location. If you are coming with your own vehicle then you can consider this, otherwise my suggestion to take hotel near by mall road or which have direct connectivity for old bus stand.

    Average Stay

    vijay k.

    First thing is property is far from the main shimla city (8kms from shimla old bus stand) and it is very difficult to get the cabs to that place for less amount it will charge 500rs from shimla to homestay. But the location of the homestay is very peaceful and near to bus stop (but you need to take multiple buses to reach mall road and new bus stand) view from the balcony is good. Finally this homestay is good for backpackers who wants to stay in there budget.
