Great place. Perfect location, it's a nice walk to city center. Rooms are beautiful and confortable. The hotel is very well maintained for a heritage property. Pool area is very pleasant. Breakfast is good (only the toested bread is very cheap quality). We had very nice dinner with local specialities. I recommend.

Sahil, Tanushree and Amber helped us organise and host a surprise anniversary lunch for our parent's 50th. The private party room, decoration, goid and hosting were all top class. The ease of booking and organising took the stress off us and allowed us to enjoy the moment to the full.

This hotel more than exceeded expectations. The room was lovely. The food very good. The staff were attentive. I particularly enjoyed the pianist playing in the atrium bar each evening. I used the pool and it was fine. The jacuzzi had fantastic views of the valley below. Shimla is well worth a visit and the Cecil Oberoi is the place to stay.

A fine old luxury hotel with old fashioned quality service. We visited as a couple as part of a luxury tailor made tour of North India. Swimming pool is amazing with views looking down the valley. Great breakfast choices well cooked. Upgraded to spacious room with views down the valley. Nice Bath. Free WiFi. Good Room service. Convenient location for exploring Shimla.

The best hospitality in India ! I have booked many hotels and travelled in many branded hotels, but haven’t experienced what Oberoi made me experience. Being a hotelier myself , proactive assuming the need of the guest and giving a a world class experience is something very difficult to replicate. My special thanks to FO Aarthi, Shubham , F&B Mukesh , Prodcution Sous chef Raj Bhatia . They created on of our favourite memories at Oberois.

Great location and excellent customer service. The chef and the dining room team were excellent and catered for all our needs extremely well. By far the best hotel in Shimla.

One of the most beautiful trips I’ve had. The hotel was exceptionally comfortable and relaxing, with an excellent location and top-of-the-line food. The team, were incredibly professional and welcoming. I’d come back here any time — this place truly stands out because of the amazing people who make it special.
