Zostel Homes Mashobra (Shimla)

The overall stay was delightful and relaxing. The location is a little hard to reach. Don't fall for the taxi scam and turist locations being suggested. If you don't book the taxi from the hotels recommendation, everything becomes expensive suddenly.

Zostel Homes Mashobra will always hold a special place in my heart, I don't think I have ever had a more fulfilling stay anywhere. This place is an experience in itself, would come to Shimla just to stay here again. Pickup and drop off is complimentary from Mashobra Chowk, Zostel Homes Mashobra is situated in such a peaceful and quiet lush green pocket right in the middle of the forest, the campus is so beautifully maintained, the view from there is exquisite. The staff are some of the sweetest, most polite and hospitable people I have ever met, from the Bhaiyya at the reception to the ones who served us food and came to pick us up and drop us off, everyone was so lovely and warm. The food is top-notch, there is so much variety and everything is freshly cooked and feels as if it's been cooked with so much love. The rooms are spacious, well-kept and comfortable. Every little detail and need is taken care of. There is also a very cute dog, Kuro who will make your day. If you are a kind of person who enjoys the peace and the quiet and likes to watch the sky and ponder, this place is right up your alley. The sunset time was especially beautiful, all the blues and the striking yellows, reds and purples creating a beautiful canvas in the sky, the music they played in the evenings in the open area was also exquisite, from Mohammed Rafi and Kishore Kumar to Lata, Asha and Mukesh. You'll hear the cicadas, the chirping of the birds, the breeze hitting the trees like waves striking the shore, and most importantly, your own thoughts here. Hope I can come here again someday. I reiterate, don't miss out on this place, it will be the best part of your Shimla trip.
