Although I was in Shimla for a business trip (end of April) and hardly got anytime to explore the city, I am so glad I picked the British Resort to stay in. It is a lovely property and of immense heritage value. The kitchen staff, the bell boys, the manager, the driver - everyone is courteous and welcoming. The rooms... More

We visited Shimla on 1st June and stayed at Shimla British Resort. It was the worst exp we could have had staying at a so called 3 star Heritage resort. There were wires and extension boards running all over the room, food was pathetic, washrooms was untidy .. 9 out of 10 calls made at the reception and room service... More

Though it is mentioned that it is located near vidhan sabha...in actual fact it is located about 400-500 mts BELOW vidhan sabha .The road is very steep... More

Firstly very less information is said and depicted about this resort on net. So its very easy to sideline it in your preferred choices. It was only after we reaching there we fell... More

It is an exotic place to stay in. The greenery and the "Green Glen" are purely remarkable places to see and feel. It seemed here as if you are with nature itself. Near the town yet it feels like you are in one of the most splendid places you can be. The magnificence of the property is just commendable. A... More

I used to be a reluctant visitor to Shimla... the overwhelming touristyness of the place making it less charming to me with every visit. Then I found Shimla British Resort. Honestly, it is nothing short of a discovry (by my wife, brilliant find my dear:). And a paradox. It is nowhere near the usual tourist attractions. But that isexactly why... More

This was my fourth visit to Simla. I came to know of this property from the website. The property though slightly offtrack, is ideal if you wish to have a different experience. The entire setup reminds you of the British era and the rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff is very helpful and i found no lack of hospitality.... More

British resort was a disappointment. the hotel is very well located right in the center (although a steep lane goes from the top of the hill into the hotel), the staff is very nice and helpful and unfortunately they are very much aware of the fact that the potential of the place is far from being realised. The house itself... More
