    Not upto the expectations

    arunima s.couple

    The hotel didnt have lift and i got a room on the top most floor. The room offered was really old and one look at the bathroom itself ruined our mood. But upon request they provided us an alternate room which was comparatively better than the first one.

    Nothing comes close at even 10x the price

    abhishek m.solo

    My stay at Hosteller Shimla was nothing short of exceptional. Nestled amidst the hills, the property offered stunning views and a warm, welcoming vibe that instantly made me feel at home. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere fostered easy connections with fellow travelers from across the country. But the true highlight of the trip was an impromptu midnight carrom session in the common area. What began as a casual game turned into a fierce yet fun competition with strangers who quickly became friends. The laughter, light-hearted banter, and shared nostalgia of the classic board game under soft yellow lights made it a moment to remember. Playing carrom at midnight, with hot chai in hand and the cool Shimla breeze outside, perfectly captured the spirit of Hosteller – relaxed, friendly, and full of memorable experiences. Can’t wait to go back!
