Great Location, Luxurious and Courteous staff
Located just walking distance from the Mall Road a Major City attraction. Luxurious place with very courteous staff. Hotel has 2 kind of rooms: With a Valley View and With a “Garden View”. Garden is not actually a garden. It is an enclosed lobby with artificial grass and sitting areas, common among a line of several room without any partition. It is covered by and well lot artificial Sky view. Good place to hang out but makes u crave for Natural light after a day. Sitting area in the “Garden” is nice cozy place to hangout. Hotel has sufficient Parking area, which is a bit hassle during peak seasons in the City. Rooftop bar is cool but only Snacks are served. Food is good.

We stayed at the snow valley resort for a couple of days and it was an amazing experience. The restaurant manager Mr. Rajkumar was very humble and polite with us during our stay. Everything was on time and he also arranged a small surprise for one of out family member's birthday.
The rooms were very elegant and neat. The view was amazing from there. The housekeeping and room service staff were very polite and took care of our needs right away.
In all it was a wonderful experience staying there and i would really recommend to all to consider the snow valley resort for your stay.

19 Summit Le Royal Hotel, Shimla

Nicely maintained Hotel with clean well maintained Beds have heated mattress and heater. . Bathrooms clean with sufficient water. All the staff members are very helpful and give a very good service.
It is close to mall road, a few minutes of down-hill walk, maybe one of the best located hotels in terms of closeness to mall road. However uphill climbing is a task for aged. If your taxi person doesn’t know the way OR if you are driving, it is quite a task to reach the Hotel. In any case you need to call hotel for navigation.
Food is very good and not expensive. Breakfast buffet is sufficient. Just beware of monkeys – keep your windows locked as well as stay away from them whilst going out. Power outages do occur, but then its an expectation.
