Sterling Legacy Shimla

The hotel is so good for not just for its comfort and location, but for the humanity and care shown by the staff. During my uncle-anty stay,they faced an unexpected medical emergency, and the hotel team went far beyond their duties to help us.They immediately guided us, arranged assistance, and ensured we were safe and comfortable during a very stressful time. Their calm behavior, quick response, and genuine concern made a huge difference for us. It felt less like a hotel and more like being supported by family.The rooms were clean, the service was excellent, and the staff’s kindness and empathy truly set this place apart. We will always be grateful for their support and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Shimla.Thank you for your outstanding hospitality and compassion. ’’The staff is super cooperative’’

Notice for Sterling holiday members community. It’s not a Sterling own property and Sterling allocated Guest room in this hotel are very small tiny rooms roughly 10 x10 feets mostly without any windows. Thankfully resort owner upgraded us to a better room. Shame on Sterling to not giving enough informations. But What else can you expect from them other than cheating!!Just hotel guys saved us this time by slight upgrade but not this Sterling company to whom I paid once my whole year salary for membership committing to lifelong free 1 week vacation . Now I hv to pay every year a hefty annual fee plus high per day charge in name of Amenity charge, and then this kind of pigeon hole rooms.Hotel location is good. Service very good. Some stairs so not ok for 65 plus!

We booked Sterling Legacy Hotel at Mall Road, Shimla, assuming it would be close to the main market and convenient for our baby. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing.We reserved a large family room and paid nearly ’7,000 per night without breakfast, considering we were a group of 4’5 guests. However, the hotel did not provide basic facilities, especially related to food. We arrived around 3:30 PM and expected to have lunch at the hotel, but despite selecting 3’4 items from the menu, we were informed that none of them were available. When we asked for tandoor options, the response was that the chef would decide, as they were short-staffed ’ clearly indicating that proper staff was not available.Even basic requests were handled poorly. It took 45 minutes just to receive cutlery. When we requested ice cubes for a drink, the ice delivered was unhygienic ’ there were hair strands and other particles frozen inside. We immediately returned it.Overall, the experience was completely opposite to the reviews, images, and comments available online. The hotel quality, service, and hygiene were far below expectations, and it was not worth the price we paid.

I recently had the opportunity to stay at Sterling Legacy Shimla, located conveniently on the Mall Road next to the government lift. However, this was the only positive quality when it comes to accessibility. The journey to reach the property is an tiring one, involving a 45-step climb to the main lift, followed by another elevated passage to the reception. For guests with mobility issues or older adults, this is a significant difficulty.Upon checking in, we were assigned a room which required climbing an additional 10 stairs. While the rooms themselves are spacious with large washrooms, the inconvenience of navigating the property cannot be overstated. One major drawback is the hot water supply, which is shut off around 10 PM without prior notice, supposedly for heating purposes. It's essential for the management to inform guests about such schedules during check-in to avoid discomfort.Furthermore, the rooms are equipped with centralized air conditioning, but unfortunately, it was non-functional during our stay. When we brought this to the staff's attention, we were advised to simply open the windows, which defeats the purpose of having air conditioning in the first place. There is also no facility for in-room air conditioning or fans as an alternative.The dining experience was also 20 stairs down from the main area, in a room that unfortunately reeked of mold. The lack of transparency regarding menu prices was another point of contention - prices on the menu did not match what we were charged, with the staff insisting that the final bill would reveal the actual costs.On the brighter side, the breakfast buffet offered decent options, and the views from the property are indeed beautiful. The staff were also helpful with luggage assistance.In conclusion, while Sterling Legacy Shimla has its positives, the significant accessibility issues, inadequate amenities, and certain operational shortcomings make it a less desirable choice, especially for those who prioritize convenience and comfort during their stay. I hope the management addresses these concerns to enhance the overall guest experience.
