The Thistle Lodge

Excellent location to access most things on foot in both directions. Food options close by and walking distance to the train station. Views out over the valley and surrounding hills. Private space with plenty of room. Namita was always available to help with anything we needed and brought our breakfasts to us each morning.

Lovely place, very clean and very nice host. She provided breakfast. View over the tolling hills of Shimla.

It was December and the room could have been a little warmer according to my partner who always feels the cold!

Good breakfast; met our requirement. Mrs Sood was very cordial and gave a feeling of being at home.

View from the property was distorted due to obstacle from another house/lodge in front.

Very thoughtful host. A nice apartment to have as a base when exploring Shimla. Basic facilities that mean you can prepare food (microwave, kettle and sink). Wet room style bathroom. Convenient location. Would recommend.

Namita was an amazing host.

My partner and I had been travelling across India for two weeks and, visiting mostly the country's mega-cities, we were looking forward to get away from the hustle and enjoy some piece and quiet in the mountains. Simla is the perfect cities for this, and the Thistle Lodge the most convenient stay - easily reachable without car (10min walk from the train station and another 15min to the citiy center), a wonderful and very inobtrusive host, the most stunning view over the valley and the mountains, and even two bathrooms! We enjoyed our stay very much.
