It's truly a 5-star hotel in Shimla. Rooms are super spacious and neatly kept. The hotel has its English architecture still very well maintained. The food served was super delicious. We had our infant with us; he was provided with the right and tasty baby food. I will definitely come again.

The Oberoi Cecil is absolutely terrific. Both times we stayed we were given an upgrade...the last time to a full suite! All of the staff in the hotel are tremendous and the morning buffet is absolutely fantastic! Mall Road is easily walkable, and there are many interesting connecting roads lined by interesting shops. I am celiac, and the chef Rajiv went out of his way to ensure that I had lots of special menu options. Arti and the assistant manager Raghav were invaluable at the front desk, as were a number of other people. The manager Swati also proved to be very kind and helpful!

They seated us as we arrived to check in at a seating area where the coffee table was littered with dirty dishes that had not been cleared.
I found hair on my sheets.

Amazing hospitality at Cecil Oberoi Shimla

Stay was amazing, specially the hospitality of Ms Ankita on arrival and then Shri Rajkumar, the Chef and his team members Ujjawal, Abhi, Thakur , also the Pianist Mr Ravish. It will be incomplete if I don’t mention the name of Akshay and FD Manager Deepika. All worked tirelessly to make their guests comfortable. Hats off to all members in Cecil including Sukhvinder who helped in parking the vehicle properly and safely. I really thank the Cecil team for their dedication.

Stunning! Great facilities and service

The Cecil Oberoi has it all! Luxury, outstanding service, a full set of facilities in a setting of outstanding natural beauty. The staff go out of their way to be welcoming and helpful. This vintage heritage hotel with its matching standard of 5* service could have the potential to seem intimidating, however somehow they combine all this with a friendly atmosphere which makes all guests - even the youngest - feel at home. There is a dedicated area situated on a lower floor given over as an activity centre for children’s games and play. The rooms are supremely comfortable (oh, those pillows and linens!) and a room with a valley view provides a spectacular vista at dawn and dusk! The glass-fronted, heated, indoor pool provides a relaxing space to wind down after a day’s hike. Sheer luxury. Highly recommend.

Value for money vs brand

Considering the cost of the room, value for money was not convincing. Less costly hots would have higher comfort, service etc. Cost of brand considered way too high compared to user value.

Superb !!

Every person in the Cecil staff made us feel special. It will be unfair on my part to miss names of the staff members but unfortunately don't recall all the names. Starting from the hotel Valet to Concierge to check in by Ankita to introduction to the smiling & ever helpful Deepika. These all people along with group of others were genuinely friendly and caring. Also thanks to the beautiful girl in the kids activity room (Brown eyes - sorry dont recall name but she is from Shimla!!) who gave us tour of the hotel from the kids room to swimming pool to fitness center and spa. Special thanks to staff in 'The restaurant' who took care of our appetite with delicious food and extraordinary hospitality during Dinner and Breakfast. The restaurant staff (whom i recognize by name) - Rohit, Shree as extraordinary servers and Rajkumar as a considerate Chef, followed by every person whose name I may have skipped but cant forget their shining and genuinely friendly eyes behind their masks. Keep it up Oberoi - Loved evey moment spent with you people.

Ideally located beautiful & comfortable hotel.

I had booked six Premium rooms Valley facing for five nights for my family members. All the family members had an amazing experience and a very comfortable holiday.
The Oberoi Cecil at Shimla is a beautiful property, with amazing view from the rooms. ideally located - away from general holiday crowd and yet only 1.7 kms by walk from the Mall. The hotel is well maintained, neat & clean with specious rooms and all the amenities required.
Being a vegetarian and a little fussy about quality of food, I was very satisfied by the quality, hygiene, service, presentation etc. All your food needs are taken care of by personal attention of the chef & staff.
Services on all fronts were excellent, be front desk, house keeping, room service, bar, dining etc. Staff was highly courteous & polite and catered immediately to any need if wanted.
In all a very pleasant & comfortable stay. Would definitely like to go back again.

A stay to remember

The entire stay was simply amazing. The entire staff were so welcoming and made our stay memorable. Traveling with kids is never easy but they made it so comfortable. There was a time when my younger son wanted popcorn. They staff went out of their way and got popcorn for him from the market and made it and surprised him. These small things are what makes a trip memorable. The housekeeping and the dining room staff was simply marvelous.

Fantastic stay!

My stay was fantastic nothing short of perfection and it felt very safe in the current chaos. The property is extremely charming, the staff is highly professional courteous hospitable and inclusive - a special mention to the staff at the front office, concierge, in room dining as well as the housekeeping. Each one made my stay memorable. The heated pool services are offered with full sanitation with slots and has restricted and limited usage for safety reasons. This was the jackpot and highlight of my stay.

I will keep visiting the property undoubtedly.

As always a great stay at the oberoi property. Amazing hospitality, great staff, really really good food at the restaurants.

Personalized and stately luxury

We were at the Oberoi in the shoulder season, so it wasn't too crowded. We received an extremely high level of person service, most notably when we were sitting down for breakfast one morning and we were asked if we'd like the same drinks as usual, or something to that effect.

We got a free upgrade when we checked in, which was perfect for our group size. Beautiful views of the green hills out the window in the mornings.

Room was very comfortable and well-kept. Five star service.

Stay in Cecil was excellent in every respect, we had come to relax and honestly could not have chosen a better property. The staff was very very good and food excellent.My room number 206 was spacious and well furnished.
The Spa facilities and heated swimming pool really made it a very relaxed trip. Cannot suggest any improvements,

If Shimla is the queen of the hills then Oberoi should be called the ambassador of Shimla. They elevated the whole experience to another level. Special thanks to Chef Rajkumar, Nisha, Vipin, Virender, Shanib, Humke and then many more staff members, who make it their personal duty to serve you with the best hospitality one can offer.
