My stay at Barowalia Resort in Shimla was a mixed experience. The view from the hotel was stunning, but the inaccessibility and management issues dampened my overall impression. While the hotel offers ample facilities, the struggle to access it left much to be desired.

Staying at Barowalia Resorts was an adventure, to say the least. I struggled with the location, which was tough to access due to narrow stairs and steep climbs. The room wasn't great either-barely had ventilation and felt like a bunker. Overall, not the relaxing getaway I had hoped for.

The hotel's location is a nightmare; you have to climb about 80 feet and navigate 60 steep, narrow steps to reach it. It's far from any convenient spots in Shimla, making it really challenging.

The dining options were limited, with the kitchen only functional during peak months, and I had to walk quite a bit to find somewhere to eat.

Overall, my experience at Barowalia Resorts was incredibly disappointing. I found the accommodation lacking basic amenities and the service was far from satisfactory. While I hoped for a chance to relax, I ended up feeling more stressed during my stay.
Rooms

The room was musty and had very limited ventilation, with only two windows that needed to be shut due to monkeys lurking around outside. Additionally, the bedding was dirty upon my arrival, and I was not provided with a proper blanket.
Service
5.0
The service was unprofessional and frustrating. There was no proper parking available, and I was held responsible for any damage to my vehicle while parked at an inconvenient location. Additionally, my requests for cleaning and basic needs were often ignored.
Location

While the resort is near Mall Road, it is located quite a distance away and involves walking down a steep alleyway. The trek was not manageable, especially when carrying luggage.
Dining

The food was overpriced and lackluster, making me prefer to eat outside for better quality meals. One chapatti cost 20 rs, which felt excessive for the portion offered.
Facilities

There were virtually no facilities to speak of, and I was surprised by the absence of basic amenities such as towels and a working TV. It felt like an ill-kept hotel rather than a resort.
