The staff was responsive, and the food was great, but the overall experience was mixed due to the distance and some issues with the accommodations.

I recently spent three days in Shimla, staying at Hotel Doegar. It’s conveniently located just a short walk from the main attractions, and I enjoyed a pleasant stay with good service and delicious food. However, it was slightly more expensive, and the hotel could improve with its morning water service, which requires asking.
