    We stayed at The Hosteller Shimla Valley View for 2 days, and honestly it never felt like we were away from home. The staff was extremely courteous and helpful especially Mr. Harish Kumar, who made our experience truly memorable. He gave us such warm, family like vibes and was always there to assist us. Mr. Harish helped us explore the local area with great suggestions and guidance, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Thanks to his hospitality, we felt well taken care of. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a peaceful stay with great people around

    Nice place to stay. Modern and clean. Helpful staff. Check in and requests for your room are managed all through a web app which might not work well for everyone. The staff do help you with it but can slow things down . The hotel has no outdoor seating area but I believe they are building one. Western breakfast options limited - just fruit and toast. No jams or pastries - hotel is not the lowest price around so would expect a better selection.

    Brand new and the room on 6th floor is amazing. Keep in mind that is a amazing room in a Hostel environment. AC has some issues. But again, the room at 6th floor is really comfortable.

    The only thing I did not like was the breakfast poha which had gone cold and which was not very authentic with its bits of capsicum and no sev. But whatever other food I ordered was good.

    The vibe of the property is very pleasant and cheerful. Though the room (deluxe double on the 5th floor) is not extremely big, it is tastefully furnished and has a really good view from the big glass window that occupies an entire wall. One can enjoy a wonderful sunset from here and also a wide view of the snow peaks. The cafe has decent food which can be ordered through an app. The staff is warm and helpful. I would especially like to mention Mohit Puri who took very good care of my onward travel from Shimla. The mall is within comfortable walking distance from the property.

    Prepayment is required, and this is buried in the fine print. I am ok with this, but if you're traveling it's just one more thing you could miss. Check-in asks too many questions and takes a while. You have to complete it yourself online when you arrive.

    Staff were friendly. Food and facilities very good.

    We had a nice experience at The Hosteller Valley View. Excellent brand new property with a Panoramic valley view thru big glass windows. The cafe provides very tasty pure vegetarian foods. The staff is very friendly, polite and helpful. Contact less check in and check out available. Centrally heated rooms with clean bathrooms and essential house keeping items. Fast customer service support(if any issues with booking)

    Breakfast wasn’t very clear as to how it is organised, you needed to come downstairs and request it which we where not made aware of.

    Large room, very clean, easily access to town, very friendly staff.

    I would like if they can serve non-veg food too.

    I liked the location, the room decor, the ambiance, amenities, and the view from the room. Everything was perfect. The staff was very cordial and prompt. Mr Nitin and the chef were very courteous. We had to leave fairly early on the last day before the breakfast started. But Nitin and the chef made sure that we get our breakfast before we left. The dinner and breakfast were very good. The only disappointment was that this facility is ONLY VEGETARIAN. Pankaj and Mohit at the reception and travel desk are extremely helpful and made our stay enjoyable.
