      Excellent Hotel and hospitality. Right next to Mall Road, so good location. Food is very good. Lovely garden and terrace to spend time in the evenings. The bar pretty much serves as the family room. Cons - Parking 80 steps down from the hotel, though for those with health issues they provide a wheelchair with attendent at parking lot. No elevator within hotel. Some rooms don't have any proper ventilation as, windows open towards the corridor.And corridor windows are kept shut.

      Key features of hotel : - - You can not get better location than this hotel. Its bang on the mall road. - You can not get rooms bigger than this hotel in shimla. They are really huge. - Its heritage old collonial style hotel with modern facilities, its feel good there. - Staff performance is good. - If you have young kids this is a place since rooms are big enough for them to roam in room. - Breakfast is okay - also its a first Oberoi hotel so this speaks of itself on quality of service. Happy stay.

      A little gem on Mall Raod”

      Had a great stay at Clarke's. Great location at one end of Mall Road. Great service- We had to come to Simla a day earlier than scheduled and the hotel accommodated us . Lovely corner room with a great view of the hills and the Hanuman mandir. Just a suggestion - if the prices for the inhouse menu are more reasonable I am sure more people would avail of this particularly as there are a range of restaurants a stone;s throw away . the hotel does have parking which I realized is a boon in Simla. Do note that because Mall road is traffic free, the climb from the other side is quite steep and would challenge the less fit of my friends.

      Perfect location”

      A great location situated at the bottom end of the pedestrian only walkway with many restaurants close by. the hotel staff were extremely friendly, efficient and helpful. Our room was spotlessly clean and well maintained for such an historic building. I would definitely recommend staying here as the best choice in Shimla.

      Nice hotel with great staff. Hotel could use a face lift. Did not appreciate upchargel for wifi - should be included at these prices. Warm room was great.
