Excellent choice of hotel for stay at Shimla. Though The Family Room was a bit small for a party of three adults, it was adequate for our needs. The breakfast choice and selection was plentiful and staff went beyond to cater for our needs and made our stay enjoyable. Dinner at hotel was one of the best. Food was absolutely delicious. I would definitely stay here again for our next visit.

A nice hotel, very clean and amazing views staff very friendly and helpful and could t do enough to make our stay comfortable
Only issue to be aware of is the location. To get anywhere you need a taxi and even using uber you have ti wait a long time as drivers feel the hotel is too far out.
A taxi to the Mall area will cost 700 rupees so you need to factor this in. It’s a good 20-39 min ride depending on traffic (took over an hour one day)

Premium Hotel Experience
The Orchid Shimla is a premier hotel with superior service, dynamic dining, and excellent creature comforts.
The staff at Orchid Shimla is very well trained to anticipate and meet your needs. The front desk concierge Nikita is professional and efficient, she assisted us in arranging taxis to tourist attractions and to Mandi.
The dining experience was delightful and delicious. Views from the dining room overlook Shimla valley which adds to the wonder. The pastry chef took time to answer our questions about unique Indian flavors, even showing us type of vegetable that, as Americans, we were not familiar with.
Especially helpful in the dining room was a server named Aarte. She provided expert service, answered questions about foods, and made quality suggestions about menu selections. She also indulged me in trying to learn a little Hindu. Thank you, Aarte!
The rooms were lovely. They were spotlessly clean. The linens were crisp and the beds were comfy.
I highly recommend the Orchid in Shimla.

The reception staff not friendly (not expecting all jolly) but least smile. The electric kettle was dirty when asked to change, staff took almost 45 mins to change and no apology for delay.
