"Staying in snow Valley shimla was a wonderful experience, it's at distance of 4 to 5 kms from city lift. So choose staying here if you have full time car available with you, parking is another issue here, food was expensive too. But apart from all this stay was wonderful. They have nice property, rooms were very clean, hospitality was above benchmark, breakfast was awesome. Mr Rajkumar at restaurant is the most humble person of shimla. It was a wonderful and memorable staying there"

In-room service has got an excellent menu options with all cuisines on board. Lavish swimming pool and interiors makes this place want to go again for anybody. Great staff, very welcoming and warm. I would recommend every couple this hotel..."
