“An amazing place to spend with your loved ones. The staff is sweet and caring. It is a beautiful experience.”
“The whole place is neat and superclean & very well done. The bedrooms are with all amenities like coffee maker, heater, basic toiletries. This is the only place, where they have been thoughtful enough to keep a separate heater even in the attached bathroom!! (a must in winters). The attendants were courteous & polite and made hot breakfast of omelettes & aloo parathas. Highly recommended.”

“8 of us had opportunity to stay at Glen View Heritage Home in Shimla from Sept 7 to 10' 2021. We have visited Shimla many times in past and stayed in best of the hotels but the stay here at Glen view is unmatchable. The location, heritage property's (built in 1860) upkeep, layout, linen, staff, service and over and above food is absolutely top class. Everyone who visited in past praised this property but I can tell, without visiting and staying here, you can't imagine what experience it can give.. Must stay if you want to really enjoy luxury with home touch in Shimla.”
