Great place. Perfect location, it's a nice walk to city center. Rooms are beautiful and confortable. The hotel is very well maintained for a heritage property. Pool area is very pleasant. Breakfast is good (only the toested bread is very cheap quality). We had very nice dinner with local specialities. I recommend.

This hotel more than exceeded expectations. The room was lovely. The food very good. The staff were attentive. I particularly enjoyed the pianist playing in the atrium bar each evening. I used the pool and it was fine. The jacuzzi had fantastic views of the valley below. Shimla is well worth a visit and the Cecil Oberoi is the place to stay.

A fine old luxury hotel with old fashioned quality service. We visited as a couple as part of a luxury tailor made tour of North India. Swimming pool is amazing with views looking down the valley. Great breakfast choices well cooked. Upgraded to spacious room with views down the valley. Nice Bath. Free WiFi. Good Room service. Convenient location for exploring Shimla.

Sahil, Tanushree and Amber helped us organise and host a surprise anniversary lunch for our parent's 50th. The private party room, decoration, goid and hosting were all top class. The ease of booking and organising took the stress off us and allowed us to enjoy the moment to the full.

A mini vacation that turned out to be a wonderful experience. Except for the check in debacle which was quite ingnorable, everything went just outstanding. Excellent food prepared by Raj kumar ji and Rajivji. They were just on the spot to what our expectations were. Great hospitality from Mukeshji and Swati ji to ensure that our stay was very comfortable. Extra care taken of my daughter who is just 1.5 years in terms of food and comfort. Coming back very soon. Cheers.

We had a wonderful stay, and I want to especially appreciate the staff for their quick action when my child got stuck in the elevator for a few minutes. The team responded immediately, kept us calm, and located him within moments. Their professionalism, kindness, and presence of mind turned a scary situation into a safe one. Truly grateful for their support and outstanding hospitality.

Checked in at Cecil around 7 pm after a 13 hour long travelling. Basics: No welcome drink provided. Key was not working for the room that was allotted. The check in incharge only couldnt open the room. Later on the keys were replaced. We have infant with us as well as senior citizens. Could have got a little better room from the luxury category we booked. Also requested the staff. But no response. Very displeasing and disappointing. We have come here to celebrate my parents 49th anniversary.We are staying here for 3 nights. This is just the check in experience that I have shared. Lets see how the remaining two days go.
