Excellent stay

Rajiv Khosla

The quality of rooms is nice. Owner as well as the staff were quite responsive. I am a frequent visitor to shimla. Found this Hotel Rock Sea improving. There are few renovated rooms as well which are no less than any luxurious class Hotel Rock Sea. Food quality and quantity was also adequate. Such a pleasant experience helps to upgrade the standard of tourism in india. Will stay again in this Hotel Rock Sea.

Excellent property

Surojeet Mandal

We stayed here on 24th april in room # 14. There is a open varandah just outside the room from where the view is mindblowing. Service is excellent, especially rahul who always had a smile in his face. We wanted to stay here for one more day but unfortunately our itinerary did not allow us to do that. This property is on the mall road & very close to the lift.

Good Stay
