We as a family of four had stayed in Deluxe room which is very outdated and required immediate renovation.Hotel with a 4 star rating but still operating keys for door opening and once you enter a very old hotel 20 years back with old furnished tiles bathroom tubs and outdated room's.Be ware and careful as rooms images are not genuinely displayed in any online site.Although hotel highlight is there restaurant with mouth watering foods and good Vibes.

This is a comfortable hotel on the Mall Rd with great views looking over Shimla. Being an old hotel the room was large with plenty of space. There was a huge comfortable bed with nice bedding and pillows. The bathroom had plenty of hot water ( although no sink plug). It was all very clean. The furnishings and decor could probably do with an update, it looks a little 1990’s. The room didn’t have any heating so I’m not sure if this is centrally controlled and only on the winter, but I was given a fan heater when I complained the room was cold. The room has tea and coffee making facilities and a small fridge. There was a constant supply of bottled water each day. There is a restaurant that did a very good breakfast for around £5. I had dinner in there one night which was also very good and clearly requested by non residents as well as residents. There’s a good outside bar with live music. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is near the tourist lift on the Mall rd and a short walk to the main attractions of Christ Church and the Ridge area. I’d be happy to stay here again.

Top notch service. Spacious and comfortable rooms with a breathtaking view (see picture taken from room 505). A superb breakfast with a huge variety of omelettes, Indian, Chinese, freshly baked pastries and fresh fruit and curd — the best breakfast l had so far during my one month stay India. Rooftop restaurant & bar. Own brewery with beer and cider. Spa with massage, sauna and jacuzzi. Perfect location. Enjoy! // Niklas

I stayed for three nights toward the end of March. One of the better hotels on Mall Road, close to the Tourism Lift. Staff were warm and helpful, particularly in arranging spa services and local tours. While the food at the hotel restaurant could use a touch more variety, there are plenty of lovely dining options nearby. If you’re looking for a central location and comfortable accommodations for hotel room booking in Shimla, Hotel Willow Banks is a solid choice

We had a wonderful experience at Hotel Willow Banks — truly one of the best 4-star hotels in Shimla! The location on Mall Road couldn’t be better — everything is within walking distance yet peaceful and scenic. Our valley-facing room had a breathtaking view, and the hospitality was warm and attentive. The hotel’s multiple dining options, especially Cafe Simla Times and Eighteen71 Cookhouse & Bar, made our stay even more memorable. Highly recommend for couples and families looking for a luxury hotel in Shimla with comfort, charm, and great food! 💖

I had a lovely stay here! The view from the room was really beautiful — perfect to unwind and enjoy the moment. The bar had a great atmosphere, and I truly enjoyed a cold beer there after a long day. The room had a nice, authentic feel to it, and soaking in the bathtub was the perfect way to relax. Overall, it was a peaceful and refreshing stay. Would love to come back!
