    breathtaking views
    top-notch service
    delicious food
    mocktail coupon confusion

    Had an amazing time with my friends at this hotel. We enjoyed the breathtaking views while visiting Jakhoo Temple and had a thrilling day of adventure activities. The location is unbeatable, right on the bustling Mall Road, making it easy to explore local shops and eateries. The food was delicious, and the service was top-notch. We had such a relaxing getaway here.

    One downside was the confusion around our mocktail coupons. The staff dismissed them, saying they were expired, which was a bit frustrating especially since we were looking forward to them.

    disappointing breakfast

    I enjoyed my stay at Willow Banks, with amazing views and a central location on Mall Road. The staff offered great service, always accommodating. The breakfast could use improvement. Some items didn’t appeal to my taste. A lovely experience in the heart of Shimla.

    family menu
    small balcony

    Family with children friendly spot

    The location was really perfect and just a short walk away from everything good, my kids loved the family menu in the restaurant it reminded me of home cooking. Plus, I had a good view from my room and enjoyed the small balcony, was quite relaxing on cooler evenings.

    It wasn't exactly cheap but still acceptable for the service and ambiance provided.

    cozy room
    prime location
    noise disturbance

    Great location right on the Mall Road for easy shopping and eateries. The city view was okay, but didn’t quite deliver those mountain vibes. Plus, the room was cozy and had a nice little balcony to unwind.

    Unfortunately, the noise can be a bit unbearable. Trust me, I didn't need a live concert next door to enjoy my stay!

    lively dining
    slow room service
    ineffective heater
    mocktail coupon confusion

    The room's balcony offered stunning views of the mountains and the charming town, creating a perfect escape. Dining at the hotel's adjacent café with live music added a lively touch to our evenings. However, the room service was a bit slow, requiring reminders, and the portable heater struggled to warm the entire space during cold nights. Additionally, some confusion arose regarding our mocktail coupons, which was a minor inconvenience.
