To get anywhere you need a taxi and even using uber you have ti wait a long time as drivers feel the hotel is too far out. A taxi to the Mall area will cost 700 rupees so you need to factor this in. It’s a good 20-39 min ride depending on traffic (took over an hour one day) ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### eshaan 6 Mar 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities No valet facility upon arrival. Staff not cooperative ##### eshaan Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Digvijay 13 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel is located in a scenic spot between the hills of Shimla. The view from the terrace and restaurant is supreme. Rooms are very clean, hygienic and with all modern amenities. The hotel even provided small gift packets with fruits, cookies etc. One needs to pay extra for a room with a view. King size rooms are a bit smaller compared to other 3-4 star properties I have stayed in. The bathroom size and facilities are average as compared to similar 3-4 star properties in other cities. However it is very well maintained. The service is excellent; everyone from front desk to the restaurant is invested in making your stay pleasant. Even the hotel manager Mr. Rawat provides personal attention to the guests. The sauna and steambath facilities work well too. The pool is available albeit we didn't use it given the cold weather. A challenge is travel to and from the main city, given location on the outskirts. Taxis charge between 1000-1500 for a drop off to mall.road and pick up back to the hotel. The ride to mall road is about 20 min. The tours to relevant tourists spots such as Jakhoo temple, Kufri etc are readily arranged. I recommend using the same taxi service identified after you disembark at the train/bus station. This will save some time as ola/uber do not work in shimla. One needs to call the taxi service/driver to make a booking. He may take 15-20 min to arrive at the hotel. All in all, good views excellent service, with some challenge regarding access. ##### Digvijay Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### SANJAY 4 Jun 2025 ##### SANJAY Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Harbhajan 9 May 2025 ##### Harbhajan Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Vatsal 1 May 2025 ##### Vatsal Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ole Abildgaard 24 Apr 2025 ##### Ole Abildgaard Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rashpal 24 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Rashpal Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rohit 24 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Rohit Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 5 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy 21 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Premium Hotel Experience The Orchid Shimla is a premier hotel with superior service, dynamic dining, and excellent creature comforts. The staff at Orchid Shimla is very well trained to anticipate and meet your needs. The front desk concierge Nikita is professional and efficient, she assisted us in arranging taxis to tourist attractions and to Mandi. The dining experience was delightful and delicious. Views from the dining room overlook Shimla valley which adds to the wonder. The pastry chef took time to answer our questions about unique Indian flavors, even showing us type of vegetable that, as Americans, we were not familiar with. Especially helpful in the dining room was a server named Aarte. She provided expert service, answered questions about foods, and made quality suggestions about menu selections. She also indulged me in trying to learn a little Hindu. Thank you, Aarte! The rooms were lovely. They were spotlessly clean. The linens were crisp and the beds were comfy. I highly recommend the Orchid in Shimla. ##### Amy Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### mandeep 11 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It’s nice and quite place with beautiful views of nature ##### mandeep Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Harinder 31 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Harinder Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### tejpal 25 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### tejpal Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Metro Phoenix Extended Stay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phoenix-Hotels-Metro-Phoenix-All-Inclusive-Living.h73001320.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia de Alcudia Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alcudia-Hotels-Hotel-Bahia-De-Alcudia.h43981913.Hotel-Information) > > [Kitro Beach Hοtel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Sgouros.h8428810.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Queens Hotel and Casino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Four-Queens-Hotel-And-Casino.h40922.Hotel-Information) > > [Wildflower Hall, An Oberoi Resort, Shimla](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shimla-Hotels-Wildflower-Hall.h902273.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Avebury Stone Circle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Avebury-Stone-Circle-Hotels.0-l6157317-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Paganelli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Venice-Hotels-Hotel-Paganelli.h1864990.Hotel-Information) > > [YOTEL Singapore Orchard Road](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Singapore-Hotels-YOTEL-Singapore-Orchard-Road.h19073868.Hotel-Information) > > [Dharma Luxury Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Dharma-Luxury-Hotel.h6397151.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Resorts & Hotels in Alicante Province](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Alicante-Province-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d6023825-tBeachHotels.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [All Saints Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bury-St-Edmunds-Hotels-All-Saints-Hotel.h1410480.Hotel-Information) > > [Beautiful 4 bed lakeside lodge in the Cotswolds.
