Great place. Perfect location, it's a nice walk to city center. Rooms are beautiful and confortable. The hotel is very well maintained for a heritage property. Pool area is very pleasant. Breakfast is good (only the toested bread is very cheap quality). We had very nice dinner with local specialities. I recommend.

Sahil, Tanushree and Amber helped us organise and host a surprise anniversary lunch for our parent's 50th. The private party room, decoration, goid and hosting were all top class. The ease of booking and organising took the stress off us and allowed us to enjoy the moment to the full.

The most beautiful hotel, with the best staff, attentive and efficient. Gorgeous rooms, well appointed with lovely decor. We had a balcony to look out over the mountains. A wonderful place to explore with lots of heritage. The bar is comfortable and the restaurant fabulous I’d thoroughly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting clean air, walking sightseeing and comfort

The Oberoi Cecil is a beautiful heritage Property. The rooms are very comfortable and the hotel interiors are aesthetic and tasteful..The staff is so polite and efficient and they go out of their way to make the guest feel special. Everything is done before you can ask for it..it is almost like they can read your mind. This was our third stay at this Property and we would go back in a heartbeat. Nothing compares with the Oberoi group..They are truly exceptional !!

The highlight of the stay was the hospitality of the whole staff. We had a superb experience. A special mention for the food. The chef, Sh. Raj Kumar ji made our stay more memorable with the spread, his smiling welcoming face and loving hospitality. Would like to visit again, just for the food

This hotel more than exceeded expectations. The room was lovely. The food very good. The staff were attentive. I particularly enjoyed the pianist playing in the atrium bar each evening. I used the pool and it was fine. The jacuzzi had fantastic views of the valley below. Shimla is well worth a visit and the Cecil Oberoi is the place to stay.

A fine old luxury hotel with old fashioned quality service. We visited as a couple as part of a luxury tailor made tour of North India. Swimming pool is amazing with views looking down the valley. Great breakfast choices well cooked. Upgraded to spacious room with views down the valley. Nice Bath. Free WiFi. Good Room service. Convenient location for exploring Shimla.
