The Cedar Grand hotel offers a good location just a kilometer away from Mall Road, making it convenient for sightseeing. The rooms come with centralized heating and cooling, but at 4500 Rs during the off-season, I felt the price was a bit too steep compared to the overall experience. While the property is nice, the service from the front desk was rather rude and not very professional, which put a damper on my stay. Overall, it's a mixed bag of comfort and disappointment.

The hotel offers a stunning view of the rolling hills of Shimla, and the interconnected rooms were perfect for my family. However, the lack of proper central heating made our stay uncomfortable at times. The location is great, just a short distance from the Mall, but the service could use a friendlier touch. Overall, it's a decent choice for families, but some improvements would make it much better.

The hotel is situated along the hillside and is just a short walk from Mall Road, which is really convenient. Unfortunately, the rooms fell a bit short in terms of upkeep, especially given that it felt somewhat pricey for the off-season. The service also needs improvement, as it wasn't very empathetic to guests' needs, but the location was a definite highlight.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were family-friendly, offering bunk beds for the kids, and the views of the rolling hills of Shimla were breathtaking. However, the noise from heavy traffic outside made it less than ideal for a peaceful stay. Overall, the hotel is reasonably priced but could definitely improve on the noise situation.
