The Oberoi Cecil

From the moment we arrived at this beautifully presented hotel, to the time of our reluctant departure, we enjoyed the most superb service, delicious food and great comfort in our luxurious room. The staff were charming, friendly, helpful and professional, and the ‘centralised, end of visit’ tipping system clearly reflected their team spirit. I also note with interest the manager’s repeated recognition, in other reviews, of his staff; it’s great to see how they are valued.

We recently stayed at this hotel for our friends reunion, and the experience was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, the hospitality and service were exceptional. The staff went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The rooms were spacious, clean, and beautifully maintained. Every detail—from the cozy beds to the well-appointed amenities—added to our comfort. A special shoutout to the cook and the kitchen team—the food was absolutely delicious! Each meal felt like it was prepared with love and care, and it truly added a homely touch to our stay. From hearty breakfasts to flavourful dinners, every dish was a delight and became a highlight of our time together. Thanks to the entire team for helping us create such beautiful memories. The hotel provided the perfect setting for laughter, late-night chats, and reconnecting with old friends. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Highly recommended for group stays or special gatherings. Looking forward to coming back!

The hotel was awesome as expected from Oberoi. Hotel is a 150 years old property. Our suite was marvellous. Giving a stunning valley view. Swimming pool was something every one should visit. All wooden interiors was giving a colonial feeling which took me into past history.

A lovely proprty with an excellent location. The old world charm of this hotel ***** with the warm hospitality of the staff takes you into another world. The Valley view rooms give you an excellent view of the valley and the early morning sunrise with the snow-capped mountains in the distance..

My stay at The Cecil Oberoi Shimla was nothing short of amazing. The service was outstanding, the rooms were cozy and well-maintained, and the facilities were excellent. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of.We were welcomed with a cake & decorated room for our special occasion. Food was delicious. Would absolutely stay here again!

An end-to-end Oberoi experience. Superb staff and great service. The indoor heated pool was fantastic. Rooms were spacious and spotlessly clean. Breakfast spread was huge and cannot expect more. The hotel is very centrally located and is at a 5 minute drive from the Mall Road.
