Do not expect a modern building but this heritage building is clean, staff excellent, food good, fuss free, quiet and safe, overall i enjoyed my stay. ##### Verified traveler Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Dec 17, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Clarke's a reason to come to Shimla This hotel could be a reason to visit Shimla. Unique service and friendly people everywhere. Fantastic view over a wonderful city! Only the cracy Raj/English could contemplate establishing a city in these steep hills, and only Indians could make it work. (They literally carried the English colon-izers (sic) on their backs!) We'll be back at Clarke's! ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Asim Dec 12, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Old world charm. Fabulous hotel. The service here is impeccable. We got an upgrade to a suite room which was large and spacious. It had a small study a living area a bedroom and walk-in closet. The bathroom was huge too. It’s right in mall road so convenient to step out for a walk. The himachali food at the restaurant was delicious. ##### Asim Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Felicity Dec 7, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Superb Shimla Had a FABULOUS time. Lovely, clean and quiet town. Very safe and friendly. Great experience to go up on the toy train and come back on the car motorail. Clarke's was so good, comfortable and convenient to the Mall. I wish we had had longer and look forward to another stay later. Only government cars can drive on the Mall so safe, quiet and easy to negotiate. The old Gaiety theatre a REAL gem. WONDERFUL that this piece of history still exists and has been restored. So much history in Shimla, well worth a visit and magnificent scenery and sunsets. Thank you Shimla and India. ##### Felicity Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Narain Nov 5, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Enjoyable stay Very accommodating The manager Pooja was quite friendly and help.It was a pleasure with kind staff to push my sister in a wheelchair and walk up with luggage ##### Narain Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - [Lodging](?equalTargetTab=tab-0) - [Vacation Rentals](?equalTargetTab=tab-1) - [Kufri Pacific Resort](https://www.expedia.com/Shimla-Hotels-Kufri-Pacific-Resort.h22510919.Hotel-Information) - [Goroomgo Kalra Regency Shimla](https://www.expedia.com/Shimla-Hotels-Goroomgo-Four-Seasons-Regency-Shimla.h69798091.Hotel-Information) - [The Hosteller Shimla](https://www.expedia.com/Shimla-Hotels-The-Hosteller-Shimla.h114820130.Hotel-Information) - [Snow Valley Heights](https://www.expedia.com/Shimla-Hotels-Snow-Valley-Heights.h90203941.Hotel-Information) - [Hotel Avon Villa](https://www.expedia.com/Shimla-Hotels-Hotel-Avon-Villa.h111772087.Hotel-Information) - [Udman Grand Mashobra](https://www.expedia.com/Shimla-Hotels-Udman-Naldehra-Grand-By-Ferns-N-Petals.h102483490.Hotel-Information) - [Abuzz Oxfordcaps Shimla - Hostel](https://www.expedia.com/Shimla-Hotels-Abuzz-Oxfordcaps-Shimla.h76452879.Hotel-Information) - [Treebo Greenland,Near Mall Road](https://www.expedia.com/Shimla-Hotels-Treebo-Trend-Hotel-Greenland.h82954053.Hotel-Information) - [Hotel Golf Grand](https://www.expedia.com/Shimla-Hotels-Hotel-Golf-Grand.h111986478.Hotel-Information) - [Hotel Rajdoot](https://www.expedia.com/Shimla-Hotels-Hotel-Rajdoot.h103094713.Hotel-Information) - [Hotel Apsara](https://www.expedia.com/Shimla-Hotels-Hotel-Apsara.h111510045.Hotel-Information) - [Uno Prime shimla](https://www.expedia.com/Shimla-Hotels-Uno-Prime-Shimla.h113302658.Hotel-Information) - [The Retreat Mashobra](https://www.expedia.com/Shimla-Hotels-The-Retreat-Mashobra.h39083874.Hotel-Information) - [Hotel Snow Lotus](https://www.expedia.com/Shimla-Hotels-Hotel-Snow-Lotus.h109398645.Hotel-Information) - [Shimla Inn](https://www.expedia.com/Shimla-Hotels-Shimla-Inn.h113742444.Hotel-Information) - [Welcomheritage Elysium Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.com/Ahmedabad-Hotels-WelcomHeritage-Elysium.h73066909.Hotel-Information) - [The CHAIL HEIGHTS HOTEL&RESORT](https://www.expedia.com/Shimla-Hotels-THE-CHAIL-HEIGHTS-HOTELRESORT.h113178034.Hotel-Information) - [Hotel Wood Winds - A Best Valley View Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Shimla-Hotels-Hotel-Woods-Winds.h103045501.Hotel-Information) - [Hotel Charming Hills By Him Haults Hospitality](https://www.expedia.com/Shimla-Hotels-HOTEL-CHARMING-HILLS.h109671042.Hotel-Information) - [Hotel Sidharath](https://www.expedia.com/Shimla-Hotels-Hotel-Sidharath.h11256104.Hotel-Information) - [Shimla District Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Shimla-District.d6126248.Vacation-Rental-Destinations)
