    Had a very comfortable stay! The location is great—easily accessible and quite peaceful. The staff ( especially Naseer) was polite, helpful, and welcoming throughout. The food was also good with decent variety and taste. The host also was constantly on call with us throughout our trip to help us with a comfortable stay and taxi bookings. Overall, a pleasant experience and would definitely recommend it for a relaxing stay.

    Poor Stay

    ramchandra s.loyalty-icon

    The stay was good. The housekeeper manager is good too. But the location is very bad. The approach. Also please note the mall road and the other road is blocked from 6-8pm so u won't be able to enter them which will lead to additional 20 mins around in the eta. No give me my 5% discount.

    Dear Mr Singh , we appreciate your feedback that your stay was good and the staff members were cooperative during your stay , Our Location is the best in town overlooking the Mall road and very Central . We had informed you that the Mall road of Solan is closed to traffic from 5.30 pm to 8pm to allow the tourists and the residents of the town to take a stroll down the mall road , you have to take a detour or an alternate route that is the Byepass road and enter the town again from Saproon Chowk during the evening hours , if you are coming from Shimla the route from where you were coming , this was informed to you , but Perhaps you were not able to clearly understand and hence its unfortunate that you took the Mall road route which was closed to traffic , this norm of closing the road to traffic is followed in Solan town throughout the year . A better communication with the hotel staff regarding directions to the property would have avoided this situation .

    Good location, nice view from garden, excellent property. Food and service was very nice. True to its name, 'retreat, the quiet old mansion provides a lovely corner in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the main street below.

    Mixed Experience with Some Positives

    abhishek m.loyalty-iconfamily

    Our stay at this hotel had both positives and negatives. On the positive side, the hotel's location is conveniently close to the market area, making it easy to explore. Although the owner wasn't present on-site, he kept in regular contact with us throughout our stay to check in and ensure we had everything we needed. He also generously upgraded our room, which we appreciated. On the last day, even though we were late in ordering food and the cook had left, the staff on duty made a great effort to prepare a meal for us at the last minute. However, there were several downsides. Upon arrival, we were told that someone would meet us to guide us to the hotel, but no one showed up, leaving us to find our own way. The hotel does not offer parking, and the road leading to the property is quite narrow, making it difficult for those traveling by car. There was no water available when we arrived, which was very inconvenient. Additionally, the food was overpriced for the quality and taste offered, and the room had a lot of mosquitoes, making it uncomfortable to stay. In summary, while the owner’s attentiveness and the staff's effort were appreciated, the stay fell short in terms of facilities and comfort. Improvements are definitely needed before we could recommend this hotel.

    The family-suite was spacious. The rooms were pretty clean. The property has an old-villa charm so, the furniture and other accessories are antique and old-world. It is approximately 50 staircaises up-and-down from the mall road. They have vehicle accessibility, almost to the doorstep. The staff was very courteous and very helping. The owner was very kind, caring and helping. The best part was the place gives you a sense of security and homeliness. You feel like you are staying at a relative's home. The money charged overall was worth-it. The food was delicious, homely and freshly-prepared. Overall, it was a lovely experience at the villa and meeting mr. Vishal jain and especially his mother, who made us feel at home and mingled with very nicely. Suggestions: the room can be pre-cleaned an pre-ready so, that the guest can check-in without much waiting. The rooms can have ceiling fan, instead of pedestrial fan. There should be an exhaust fan in the bathroom. Overall, our stay was excellent! thank you.

    Hi Radhika thanks for your good review and to give us a five star rating .the only room that did not have a ceiling fan was the one you stayed in , we have installed a ceiling fan in the room and an exhaust fan in the bathroom . We welcome your advice .Solan is a cool place , it's only in the month of May and June you have to put on a fan , The rest of the months you can do without a fan , our villa has high ceilings and has good ventilation. Till recently the house did not have a single fan , due to temperature spikes in the summers we have put fans in all the rooms .

    jnanamay d.family

    The location is great, very close to solan railway station. Scenic beauty can be enjoyed from the hotel lawn itself. Beautiful flowers are there. We were two families, and two family suites were provided. Each family suite had two rooms where 4 persons could stay. The atmosphere was like a homestay. The food was fresh and tasty. The services were good but delayed.

    DEAR Mr Das , we are happy to note you had a lovely stay , and enjoyed your holidays . We prepare food after we receive the order , so it's our request to the guests that we be given 2 to three hours of preparation time to prepare and serve the food. We understand that you had checked in the evening and wanted to have your dinner served immediately . We are sorry for the inconvenience caused , but we are happy to read that you found our food served to be DELICIOUS 😋

    Hi Vinayak we would like to inform you that its a Victorian era heritage Villa / Bungalow with an old world charm about it , with a expansive garden in front of it , its an iconic villa of Solan , the washrooms have Mosaic walls & Mosaic floorings keeping the old era period in mind , we have bathrooms with new designer tiles also , we would have changed your room to your liking , we checked your booking , you checked -in very late in the night and left early morning , so I understand we could not interact with each other . We could have given you rooms with designer tiles bathrooms instead of Mosiac walls Bathrooms , all our bathrooms have modern Jaquar bathroom Fittings . Our villa has flooring of French Mosiac . We were surprised to read your review .

    Our experience of staying at solan retreat which is a heritage home was awesome. It gives the feeling of home inspite being far from home. The care taker gopal ji is a fabulous person. You get home-cooked food. His parathas are delicious. You can enjoy your lunch basking in the sun taking view of the mountains. A comfortable stay with all basic facilities. Thanks to mr jain the owner for his efforts to give maximum satisfaction to the guests.

    Dear Guest , We were taken aback to read your review , we remember that you wanted an early check-in at the villa and we could not provide it to you as the rooms were occupied , we had informed to you before arrival at the villa that no rooms can be given to you early in the morning and you were very upset and angry about it as you were travelling with your family of 4 persons, we can understand that it led you to give us a low rating, we cannot tell our guests to release the rooms or make them checkout before their checkout time, we wish you understood this before writing this review, we gave the room that you had booked in Make my Trip Travel portal and no other room was given to you which you have mistakenly written in your review, and our rates our quite modest we had given accommodation to four guests and our room area size is 250 Sq ft with two double beds . The pictures of the rooms are there on MMT website, your review seems to be erroneous.
