10/10 Exceptional

Excellent staff, very comfortable bed with good views. There is no parking and the hotel is situated at a bottom of a hill and it’s a 20 minute hard walk to Main Street. That said, it was good exercise. But it is a good hotel apart from location.

Just perfect

I booked to stay for 5 days at the Hotel Kapil. My room was simply stunning. No other way to put it. The bed was so comfortable and warm, the room and the bathroom were spotless. The view from my window was epic; an endless vista over the valley and far off mountains. The staff go out of their way to welcome you and make sure your every comfort is attended to. Room service food was delicious and served with a smile. Plenty of hot water available throughout my stay. Tea and coffee making facilities included in the room. This hotel was quite possibly the best place I stayed in during my entire 3 month tour of India. Thank you to all the team and Namaste 🙏

Room was terribly dirty. Had CC to leave 2 days early and found clean hotel with hot water and clean bed linens.
John, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was cold and could have been better with heater or heating in the room. Although a electric Blanket was provided. Hot water was not always to the required standard. Tall cupboard would have been helpful for hanging the clothes.

Good hotel in great location.

Valley view room very comfortable. Hotel much better than it appears from outside. Food slightly overpriced and no restaurant though.

Great location, courteous staff!

Located at just 10min walk from the Lakkar Bazaar and 15min from the Ridge and Mall road , the hotel was away from the hustle of the Mall road and at the same time just a walk away from it. The staff was very polite and courteous. The room offered a great view of the valley. Hotel has great facilities.

Room with a view

This hotel is a little away from the hustle and bustle of the centre of town but is all the better for that. It was welcoming and comfortable. We booked a superior room with mountain view which was well worth it.The room rates are very reasonable. The room was very comfortable, clean and the shower was great, powerful hot and clean. Staff were pleasant and attentive and in house food was good, portions large so don’t over order! . I would highly recommend this hotel, it is a quality hotel at a very reasonable price. Would be happy if all hotels in India met this standard!
Annie, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Five minutes walk from Mall Road. Met at the railway station by a (pre-ordered) taxi, so no problem finding the hotel on arrival in Shimla ;-). Breakfast (chola bhatura) just like home-cooked (delivered by room service, since no dining room) - room service rapid, friendly, efficient. Solar-heated hot water ran out in my room, my friend next door had plenty :-(, so 4 not 5 stars. I've paid 5x as much for a worse experience!

Good enough, poor breakfast

The staff were good, room was fine. Didn't like nowhere for breakfast, served in the room. Breakfast very poor, in fact one day made me very ill, I will spare you the description. I also wouldn't book with Expedia again due to the the perpetual bombardment of emails. If I want to review somewhere, let me decide

6/10 Good

Could be the best but...

The view and the service excellent but the wifi is so bad it should not be advertised as having it at all. The really bad Wifi mad it impossible to continue making travel plans or even emailing - it cut out so often. Hotel Kapil could be one of the best hotels in Shimla just fix your wifi.

Walkable and comfortable

Close to downtown and an easy walk compared to many places in the area. Great services for people unfamiliar with Shimla, including a reasonable priced car service. Very comfortable room.

2/10 Poor

STAY AWAY

This was a peculiar hotel as they didn’t provide heaters for their rooms and wanted to charge extra despite the temperature being so low due to the cold climate. Another issue was hot water, we had to keep the water running for 15-30 min just to properly wash our hands without getting frostbite. The TV service didn’t work either, despite the cable technician coming and trying to fix the service, it was of no avail. Stay away from the WiFi, they give you a new password 3 times a day which is annoying and you also have a limit of 3 devices per room. Not only that, I watched a 10 minute YouTube video and I was notified that my data limit had been reached and I had to wait for the next morning for it to reset. They’re acting as if we’re going to free load off of their “out of their world” internet with 1.0 mbps download and 0.1 mbps upload. Terrorists in caves have better internet than this. To top it off, room 104 is haunted, we actually left a night early because you would experience supernatural events like doors opening by themselves where there isn’t any wind draft with the windows all closed. Last but if not the least of this hotel’s problems, they’re cheapskates, we asked for a banana for breakfast and they declined us stating we must spend at least $10 for their fruit platter. Paying for two rooms totaling $600 for 3 nights, this is worst experience I have ever had. The staff is polite, but that’s probably because they know they’re robbing you blindly.

Remarkably peaceful location away from the maelstrom, yet only ten minutes' walk to the Ridge through Lakkar Bazaar. Lovely people running the place, and everso helpful. Beautiful clean room with glorious views. A must!
