From the moment we arrived, we were given fantastic service with a smile. The level of attentiveness was just right and we couldn't have asked for more helpful, pleasant staff. The hotel itself is kept in great condition, and rooms are spacious and well looked after. We had a balcony room which i'd definitely recommend, although we were warned to... more

Stayed here with daughter during jaunt around India. Excellent service & very high standards. Staff really helpful if rather formal (probably what you want when you stay there) Room good-view was poor from sidfe (room 301) & not sure why they couldn't have showcased a better room given the hotel was nearly empty Really nice rooms-mix of colonial & modern.... more

As with some previous reviewers, we stayed as part of a longer holiday including the Palace on Wheels. We tottered into the Oberoi Cecil after six jolting hours on the train up from Kalka, to be immediately swaddled in the warmth and charm of the stall (ALL the staff, ALL the time) of this exceptional hotel. We found the service... more

We stayed here after a week on the Palace on Wheels and a 6 hour trip on the 'Toy Train'. We loved the combination of new and old in the decor. The food was fantastic and the restarant staff were interested and shared their knowledge about food and Indian wine (worth trying) Rooms superb and front of house staff very... more
