Entrance to the rooms is located through their lounge and restaurant. The rooms are spacious with large bathrooms. Neat clean linen. The staff is helpful and courteous but service... More

The lawn is really cool and the staffs are decent. The view of the city in night is beautiful. Only negative that you have to get a car to go to Mall; which sometimes is difficult to find. Suggesting HPTDC to arrange 2 (or more as required) drop & pick up to Mall daily; may be on chargable basis. And... More

Recently I stayed there one night (March 25 2013) with my family. Rooms were very good and specious and staffs are also very co-operative. Restaurant was very good and clean. But only problem is the location bit away from the city, be ready to spend more for local travel as local travel is very expensive there. If you have your... More

The great thing about the government run hotels is the it is devoid of sales angle. They do not pretend to be full, when they are not and their rates do not fluctuate with the traffic. Another great thing going for them is location, location, location. It all came true in Peterhoff, the old Scottish villa kind of building. We... More

We stayed there for 1 night. Since some discounts were being offered in off season by HPTDC, we rented a regular room. When we reached there we requested management to give us a room with good view since there were hardly any guests there. But they simply refused!! So the room we got had a view of parking lot. Room... More

We had a enjoyable stay at Hotel Peterhoff run by HPTDC. Large lush green lawn in the front with a great view of the Shimla hillside was a treat. The restaurant food & room service was very good as we expected from a posh hotel. Take time to explore these and enjoy the walks down to Victory Tunnel and the... More

Stayed at Peterhof last weekend. Being a heritage with so much of history makes it more appealing. Rooms allotted to us were very very spacious and the condition of the rooms was just average. We were told the suites are very good, though we cud not stay in them. However, Hotels' exterior grandeur is well maintained and gives the look... More

Hotel Peterhoff is away from the maddening rush of Mall Road. Pick this without a second thought if you have your own transport. The property is huge, beautiful and the furniture is antique. The linen, towels, bedsheets were all good during our stay. The food is tasty at the hotel with good variety. They switch on the centralized heater only... More
