Breakfast was great so was the dinner. Location is clearly a winner. An easy stroll for 3km leads you to the landmark Shimla Church. Very friendly staff. Right from the door to all the people . Extremely courteous.
Every thing was good.

The staff was so friendly and very helpful. They were also so kind. When I arrived I was very ill from the windy roads and jet lag and they helped me pay my cab and check in in my room so I could be comfortable and they brought me aid so I could hydrate and get comfortable.

Cleanliness and helpful staff. Other facilites, such as gym, activity room etc were also very good.
The hotel is a little distance away from the Mall and walking is not easy. A complimentary hotel shuttle every two hours to the Mall road lift area would be great

My introduction to The Oberoi Hotels at The Cecil was an absolute delight, largely due to the remarkable warmth and professionalism of the staff. I have rarely encountered such genuine courtesy. Our stay was incredibly relaxing and comfortable, with the team consistently going above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. I would especially like to recognize Swati, Raghav, Sujata, and Sahil, whose individual efforts truly made our stay memorable. Their keen eye for detail and personalized approach made us feel exceptionally welcome and completely at ease. For unparalleled hospitality, luxurious comfort, exceptional food, and an unforgettable sense of indulgence, I wholeheartedly recommend The Cecil.

Our stay at The Cecil was a perfect blend of heritage and class, immersed in the serene embrace of nature. From timeless architecture to breathtaking views, every moment felt like a walk through history surrounded by tranquility. The staff truly made the experience unforgettable—friendly, attentive, and welcoming, they made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Their warm hospitality added an extra touch of magic to our stay."

Disappointing
Disappointed by the service provided to celebrate a special occasion. Poor coordination and a surprise planned was taken for granted.

The hotel has friendly staff, attention to detail and a genuine effort to delight the guests. Staff members struck up helpful conversations with suggestions without being intrusive. Overall, it was a lovely experience.
Nothing really.
