This hotel was like a blast from the past-a cross between a National Trust property & a set from an Agatha Christie novel. We loved it especially after a long bumpy journey from Delhi. The staff were really great & nothing was too much trouble. We ate in the restaurant & the food was really good & very reasonable-it fact... More

The open area in the hotel is very good and property is great. I wish that they improve the upkeep and cleanliness of the hotel rooms. Internet was not working anywhere in the... More

Woodville Palace is located in Chotta Shimla. The property is adjacent to Raj Bhavan. The walkways around this place are beautiful and silent, unlike the crowded Mall road. The hotel is a heritage property, gives you a feeling of nostalgia and warmth. The rooms are well maintained. The Hotel corridors and rooms are adorned with photographs of Maharajas and clans...

Had chosen this property through Ms Anita in our Shimla-Manali trip. Although the location is way off the mall, this was a memorable stay at this heritage property. The rooms were great and the B/W photographs adorning the walls took you back a few eras - almost a museum feel. The polished wooden floors added to the atmosphere. The heating... More

This old heritage property is by far the best in Shimla in its category...and if someone has doubts he can try the others in the vicinity( what I did). It certainly lacks the modern amenities and the options to dine but then if one is in Shimla for that then you are at a wrong place...the place offers enough to... More
