    Wonderful Winters with Cecil
    The property is amazing and unmatched. Its ascetically brilliant. Staff is very friendly and pampers you a lot. The food is nice. Exploring Shimla on foot and stay in Cecil makes it special.

    Wonderful Experience
    The property was fantastic. The finest thing was the hospitality.
    There weren't many options available in the breakfast and dinner buffets.It could have had a couple more choices.

    Comfortable stay and convenience in a nostalgic hotel
    The room was on the sunny side looking over the valley. This combined with exceptional service from the whole team at Oberoi Cecil gave us a memorable stay in a lovely hill station.
    All good

    The newest edition to my list of favourite hotels in the world!
    Everything. Wonderful hotel, everything is great. Staff, rooms, hotel has loads of character, not too far from the centre.
    Gym could be a bit more modern. No garden or terrace facing the valley. But they are really small points
