Vivek Palace Deluxe by OYO Rooms

The caretaker was nice and ready to help as best he could. There are nearby restaurants and dhabas, and the room has enough space. It's conveniently located near the road, with a valley view from the balcony. A great escape from the noise and air pollution of the plains.

Mr. Sunny Sharma, the hotel manager, was very helpful, and the owner also supported guests to help them have a happy stay. The hotel restaurant serves very tasty SATVIK food. As other guests have said, the room is tidy and clean, with a very good view of the hills from the balcony. I'd recommend staying here if you want a neat, clean room and beautiful valley scenery.

We were looking for a proper homestay where local family members cooked local food, but that wasn't what we found here. Instead, there were good rooms with crazy balcony views, and then the owner surprised us by serving homemade food. It was insanely tasty. Sometimes it really comes down to the people and the place. For this price, I bet you'll get a great room and service, and the view is magical. I couldn't believe it was better than any luxury hotel.

The room had plenty of space and fresh air, with an amazing view right outside the window. Satyam ma'am made us feel welcome, and Sunny bhaiya looked after everyone as if we were guests in his own home. I stayed for five days and felt completely at home. If you're heading to Shimla, I'd recommend taking a detour to Nalderah and leaving your bags at vivek palace, closer to nature.
