Stayed here for 4 nights. Even extended our stay because we liked Shimla and the BnB so much. The private room was just what we needed and cheaper than a hostel dorm. They served you food if you wanted to your room which was fantastic. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful with anything we came to them about. Couldn't recommend more!
