The Haritage Shimla

The rooms had insects everywhere, and the staff were extremely rude. They told us to just turn off the lights and sleep. A very bad place to stay. Avoid it.

The hotel is well maintained and sits right beside the old bus stand. Finding the way there can be a bit tricky, so contact reception for directions. The staff are very helpful.

The room was very cramped, and there’s no restaurant service. They didn’t have a towel for me, then handed over one that was wet and already used. The location isn’t good either. The 850 room is next to the hotel’s service area. A local person and SATPAL JI helped carry our luggage from the road. This might work for a bachelor stay, but I wouldn’t recommend it for couples.

We stayed here before setting out on our Buran ghati trek. It’s a basic, quiet homestay type of place, fine for an overnight or casual stay if you keep expectations modest. At the price, the clean, comfortable rooms and restrooms were acceptable. There’s no food or room service. One kind staff member handles water and other essentials when needed, and even brought us breakfast and lunch from the market. The room had no fan or AC, just a small table fan, and with no ventilation it could feel suffocating.
