This hotel is set up high near what is called The Mall which is a long retail street. You are not allowed to drive to the hotel as vehicle access is not allowed to the area so your bags have to be carried by porter. The hotel has spectacular views, the staff are friendly and helpfull. There is a good restaurant and importantly the location is great to walk to points of interest.

Honeymoon Inn is a charm in Shimla. It has a central location with easy access to all the attractions. From my room I can see the entire Shimla valley. The evening view is fantastic. I love the garden but in later September it was a bit chilly to sit out after sunset. We ate in the hotel restaurant and liked all the meal options. During the weekend they served buffet and weekday you can order from the menu. I would consider to stay there again if I visit Shimla. The restaurant staff was particularly friendly.

Honeymoon inn, more than just for a honeymoon
Honeymoon inn was wonderful Room size was adequate, the view was fabulous, well worth the many stairs Location was great and we enjoyed walking through the main streets Hotel had umbrellas for us Breakfast was excellent The first dinner was amazing We were spoiled We were able to choose almost any item off the menu. We even had a banana split. Of course the main Indian dishes were excellent For the second night, dinner was completely different! It was a buffet but the choices were quite limited, but they still made us a banana split! The place is being renovated and will be even better next time Choose this hotel for the service, location, the view and the breakfast, and dinner if you’re lucky enough to get it off the menu

Shimla stay
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
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.

Nice hotel with a beautiful view of the Himalayan
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...

Nice hotel near Mall Road with a good view valley
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.

Excellent view of Shimla.
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.

Basic clean hotel
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.

Basic but all you need. Handy for the Mall
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.

Gr8 hotel, nice location but no parking.
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..

Beautiful views and excellent food
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.

Best of both the worlds!
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.

Only visible problem I faced was that at least one of the waiter was found sort of spying on couples and Also bathtubs did not work due to lack of water.

Wonderful views of Shimla
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.

Location is bit away from main road but they do send a porter to pick up the luggage. It's better to stay here as this hotel is surrounded by green lawn.

The view was great. The description of the hotel is wrong. Access is only for backpackers. Wheelchair is a joke. Taxis are not allowed closer than 200 m and from there it is steap up. In winter you even cannot be sure of that. We had to go approx. 1km on a slippery road. Taxis did not dare go there. The hotel is not suitabel for use in low temp. We had reserved 2 nights but left after 1 night. - still cold as ice.

Bra läge och fantastisk service
Hotellet ligger perfekt, precis bredvid The Mall och på en höjd med bra utsikt. Servicen var mycket bra och rummen rejäla men något gamla (bodde i ett "vanligt" rum). Halvpension innebar i princip att man kunde beställa hur mycket man ville från deras meny (dryck ingick inte), så det kan man ju välja vad man föredrar. Notera att det är en bit från tågstationen till hotellet/centrala Shimla, så ta en taxi.

O Hotel é fantástico, nossa cama tinha até véu e fios dourados! Mas... fica no alto de um morro e não tem acesso de carro! Tivemos que pagar alguem para levar nossa bagagem para cima.... falta este serviço! Café da manha ótimo e bom serviço de lavanderia.
