We happened to stay at Hotel Honeymoon Inn during our recent trip to Shimla. Believe me this is one of the best deals that you can get here. Being off season they offered me a 30% discount on the room rates, and at INR 1, 386 (incl taxes) this is real value for money. The location of the hotel is its advantage, nestled on top of a small hill it offers clear pleasant views of the hills in the morning, and the so very colorful sunsets in the evening. All rooms are valley facing with wide windows. The rooms are well designed with all the required amenities. All rooms have wooden flooring. The bath is complete with jaguar fittings. The hotel is accessible by a steep climb from the Mall Road, the steep road further turns and brings you to the main entrance, from here you can take the hotel lift that brings you up. Once outside the lift you have to walk through a walkway that leads to a small but very well maintained garden. Below the garden is the sit out area with swings where you can enjoy your morning tea. The garden spans on both sides of the hotel building offering very good views of the town and the hills. They have a special sun set view point also, where you can enjoy some unforgettable moments with your partner during the evening.
Their restaurant serves simple hygenic food at very reasonable rates. The view at night from the restaurant is really something. The entire property is very well maintained and clean. The hotel staff are very helpful and will help organize all your trips around Shimla. Although mostly honeymoon couples come here, maybe they are drawn by the name, but this is an ideal place for everyone. I do not recommend this place for senior people as they might find walking up a bit tiring.
All in all if you are visiting Shimla and confused about where to stay, just check out this place and you surely will not have to search further. The pictures of the rooms posted on their website are exactly what you get. The hotel arranges for your pickup and also they provide inhouse porter services to take your luggage up and down the slope. You can check out their website for more details.
