Had a good time having good food at Spars Lodge . The food was well cooked and served well. The manager/floor in-charge kept a close eye on the food being served and was courteous enough to ask about the quality of food and if any change needed. Service was prompt .The continental food was much better than that available at... More

The only thing this place has going for it is the view. The service was Meh, the food expensive and owner kept trying to get me to go on one of his tours. The rooms were ok but the bathrooms needed a good scrub. It is located close to a few sights and is walkable to the mall. But hey,... More

I was very disappointed with Spars. When we arrived the staff was not very welcoming and since it was night and they don't have heat it was chilly. They offered us hot water bottles which was great but they only put lukewarm water in them so they didn't do anything! The comforter in the room was disgusting...it had white stains... More

I hate to be negative but I found it cold! Definitely a stunning location for the summer but I found the experience, welcome, staff and rooms decidedly on the cool side. I guess I should have expected it but seriously, it was snowing and I was wearing 6 layers of clothes! The young guys who worked there did their best... More

Had a three night stop here with my son. Its a nice, quiet hotel with extensive views from the upstairs restaurant windows and is very reasonably priced. On foot from the town or station its a steep walk in places. Our room was clean when we checked in. Room cleaning during your stay only happens when requested. We were on... More

We recently stayed in the spar lodge ( about two weeks ago ) and were a little disappointed by it. I can imagine that in the heat of summer that this is a stunning lodge and would be well worth the trip and the money to stay there. However, we went in the winter and were expecting a cosy mountain... More

The owners of this place made our stay so comfortable and memorable - they're the nicest, friendliest people we met in our 2 months in India and were happy to chat and offer good help and advice. Having been in Delhi for 3 days, this place literally provided a welcome breath of fresh air. Great views from the hang-out /... More

This was a nice treat. Outstanding views, peaceful and had a clean room. The guy who worked behind the reception wasn't the most communicative person i've ever encountered but the super friendly, helpful owners made up for this. Rather enjoyed the scenic walk down to the mall and back.

This hotel is not in the center of Shimla, but a stroll away. It is also not too far from the station but far enough not to hear buses,trains and people. If it wasnt because it is up a hill i'd say the location is just perfect. This makes the location be very calm and a good place to relax,... More

We stayed here twice and both times we enjoyed ourselves. The hotel is very basic, no frills but the rooms were comfortable and clean, the food was delicious and the view is to die for. I would recommend it for anyone on a budget
