juSTa Darkwood Lodge & Spa 10 mins from Mall Road

I was hasitation while booking as it was a new property and had a few reviews. But I did hit that book button. This was the best decision I made last weekend. I mean, the property location is the best, just below the Jakhu mandir. No city noise. Easily accessible to the Shimla Church as it is just 5 min away, and they also provide pick and drop facility, which is pretty helpful, but you can also walk if you want to. The food was good, we had breakfast included in our stay, and they have good options, and the food was also pretty tasty and good for kids as well. The Staff is very professional. Vaishali and Neha both did a fantastic job at the front desk, and also Akhil. They were very professional. And I'll say it for the other staff as well. They were very friendly and welcoming. Definitely Recommended.

Had an amazing stay at this beautiful property in Shimla! The rooms with wooden interiors were absolutely stunning and gave a warm, cozy mountain vibe. The scenic view from the hotel was breathtaking and made the stay even more special. The food was incredibly delicious with great taste and quality. A special mention to the staff for their warm hospitality and helpful nature — they truly made us feel comfortable throughout our stay. The location is another big advantage as Mall Road is easily accessible by walking. The complimentary pick-up and drop service from a nearby point was very convenient and hassle-free. The property is also located near Jakhu Temple and other major sightseeing attractions, making it a perfect choice for travelers. Overall, a wonderful experience with great hospitality, amazing food, beautiful rooms, and an excellent location. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Shimla!

The wooden chalet theme is nice. Room was comfortable with a nice covered sitout. Staff were very helpful and efficient.

No outdoor space to sit or walk in. Very difficult to reach. Very noisy in the night as there’s no sound proofing and I could hear every sound from the lift, corridor and downstairs. Very disturbing with late night arrivals and people moving about. Food is way more expensive than justifiable.
