Visiting Clarkes is like stepping back in time. The architecture of the building makes such a refreshing change from the modern hotels of concrete, glass and over the top air conditioning. Our room was lovely and was beautifully furnished and the public areas of the hotel were also thoughtfully presented. Although some people might find it a little formal, the staff were friendly and polite without exception. We would stay there again without hesitation.

Clarks is heritage propery with excellent location ! The the sunset view from terrace is easily viewable . staff is extremely polite and helpful. It being our anniversary they endured a very comfortable stay and decorated our room so nicely! Its an Oberoi chain and lives upto its name . The food was nice and breakfast buffet was good except that I wish the coffee was better The property is in severe need of renovation as certain corners of the room smell of the stale rubber in sofas. In all otherwise we enjoyed our stay!

Lovely, comfortable traditional hotel. For us a very special place to stay. Very high quality service combined with a low-key approach, totally without marbled pretentiousness.

Its one of the best property to stay in Shimla. Its bang on the Shimla mall road so u need to just keep your step out of hotel and u are in between the beautiful wonderful crowd of mall road. The staff of the hotel is nice. A monkey smashed the front windscreen of my car in the hotel parking. The Hotel staff got it repaired the same day and even paid for the new windscreen. Hotel did this to make my stay happy. I really appreciate their positive approach. I strongly recommend that if you are going to Shimla then you must stay in this property.

The stay was great. Had a total british feel wrt decor and service. The location is superb
1.5
Hotel is well located, staff amazing and room very comfortable - but for one of the oldest hotels in Shimla and where mr Oberoi first started work it is a shame that the decor is so bland and boring. It calls itself a heritage hotel but there is nothing heritage about the hotel decor. It is a massive wasted opportunity.
2.5
From the moment we arrived we experienced wonderful, friendly, helpful staff. Fabulous historic hotel in great location in lovely town (smoke & litter free). Great shopping & food on your doorstep.
2.5
Excellent service from all the staff in a way that is lacking so much normally.
2.5
Great experience from checking to checkout. Staff very attentive, and helped with many little things. Service in restaurant was excellent (thanks Dhani!).
Really enjoyed my stay at this historical hotel
2.5
This hotel is located on mall road which means you can spend your day visiting places nearby but the evening can be spent on the mall road which is like a walking plaza (vehicles are not allowed).
The hotel rooms and staff is really nice. Restaurant is bit overpriced compared to other places but the food quality is very good.
1.5
Billing desk is terrible and does not seem to be Oberoi's Standard.
