Hotel Review of Shimla Hotel Holiday Home
Comments: Overall, Holiday Home was very good to stay in. We booked 3 rooms through the hptdc website and the checkin was a breeze. The carpets in the corridor was dirty but the rooms were big and cozy. Bathroom was neat and well provided. Room service was prompt and actually the food was above ordinary
Best Experience: The restaurant has the old-world charm with silver cutlery and calm surroundings. Service was good and food was excellent. Especially the mocktails.
Worst Experience: Restaurant is smoking and at times it interferes in the enjoyment of your meal
