Castles in Himachal Pradesh

"Excellent location, very close to Dalai Lama temple, exit to dharamshala road. Fantastic views of valley and mountain both. Food was delicious and owner and staff are very welcoming "

"It is nice hotel in good location. The only problem with this hotel is that you need to go down to get taxi. There are lot of steps to climb if you have to go early in the morning as the lift will be operational after 8:00 AM. The service is good, and the staff are friendly"

"Excellent location with fantastic staff"

"If you are visiting Dharamshala or Mcleod gang, it is an absolute must to stay here. The views are stunning. The staff is exceptional. The cleanliness is what I loved the most. It’s is so peaceful, you would never wanna leave. The pool was my favorite part of the day. For the price you pay, you won’t get the same experience anywhere else in the world! We will be coming back !!!"

"Great staff and experience . Well looked after and Would definitely visit again."

"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. "

"Staying here was a pleasure. The location could not be better just a short stroll to Mall Road. The food was exceptional and the garden area was a peaceful retreat. The gym was well maintained which was a bonus for us. The rooms were clean and well appointed and the staff was friendly and the service was great."
