This was possibly the finest hotel I’ve stayed in, due to the unique combination of luxury, customer service and stunning location. The hotel decor, comfortable and eye for detail was brilliant. I can’t praise the staff we came in contact with enough, from the front of house, bar and restaurant staff, the activity centre staff and swimming pool area staff, they were all fabulous. The proximity and backdrop of Shimla centre and it’s stunning surrounds were inspiring. This all made our stay a truly memorable experience. Our two boys loved everything about the Oberoi Cecil!
The only thing I would have liked was more variety in the fresh fruit at breakfast especially grapes and mangoes, to go with the usual package of melon, oranges and bananas.

Everything. Especially the hospitality. The premier valley rooms were spacious and with great views. Almost all of the staff we came across were extremely polite and courteous. . We were celebrating our anniversary and their efforts went beyond our expectations. Our room was decorated with balloons. Sent cakes twice, once at midnight as we were celebrating with friends and again on the evening of the Anniversary. What really stood out was they also gifted us the local himachali cap and a gorgeous stole. This hotel was the best part about our trip of 4 days in Shimla. Kudos to you guys at Cecil. Thank you for making our stay special. ❤️
Nothing.

amazing hospitality. the guest relation staff were exceptional. shout out to Navya and Ankita for their help towards our old parents who needed lots of support while I was busy in my nephew’s wedding.All the staff at reception were super helpful and nice. every penny spent was absolutely worth it. girls even helped my mom in law draiw her saree and boys helped get medicine for them. spa was very relaxing and the therapist went out of her way despite language problems. exceptional stay, amazing location, outstanding food. the hotel helped move my in laws from another hotel nearby where the gentleman chauffeuring the car drove all the way up to the doors of hotel to help my in laws alight the car. I am extremely thankful to everyone for stepping up for me in taking care of my in laws. My heartfelt thanks to the gentleman who drove us. unfortunately I do not remember his name.

Location . View. Staff. Food. Hospitality. The must visit ehen I will come back to.shimla. The restaurant was too good as well where staff well trained and handle orders very profesionally. Starting from the check in to check out you will notice that the management have put effort and time to very well trained the staff. Good job . I had a special request and it was handled in a satisfied way as well with a compliments from them.
Little pricey when it xomes to food but it is worth the value and quality that they are.providing . Hassle free .. really nice place for some one wants to pay for a quality hotel. A mini note to the management : try to have an espresso maching in the room . This will be a wonderful add .

Staff were extremely courteous. Probably the best model of customer service one can ask for. Not a time goes by when the staff are not attending to your every need. This type of service and values this hotel upkeep is beyond excellence. Our kids had great fun at the activity Centre and interacting with the hotel staff. We adults had a great time with the ambience and even warmer courtesy extended by the staff in every aspect of our stay.
Once you experience Oberoi Cecil you will hardly have anything to complain about.

The hotel staff took very good care of us during the stay. Traveling with children comes with its own challenges in terms of their food requirements, which were promptly met and customized by the restaurant at the hotel. The kids loved spending time at the activity center. We experienced the Oberoi hospitality for the first time and have found it exceptional.
We opted for a valley view room. While the view was there, it could have been a little better. Besides, the balcony was way a little small. I guess a room with a mountain view needs atleast some space to put a chair and sit outside.

We were welcomed enthusiastically and the i loved the open to the roof lounge area The Activity centre was a boon to keep my kids occupied. The spa was refreshing & the heated pool was awesome The entire property is wooden and i love that !
We had asked for some personal customisations prior to our arrival for which i had email confirmations, yet the guest relations didnt action on it, and had the audacity to even say that there were no such requests. Food menu could be a little more extensive considering that its a 5 star property
