Spars Lodge

Our local guide suggested this place as we wanted to try some authentic local food. This place was a bit tricky to find but was well worth it. It was a basic but friendly place with a simple menu. Unlicensed but no problem if you want to take your own wine/beer. The food was lovely, cooked fresh so expect a wait and if you want some of the dishes dishes it might be best to order in advance but definitely worth the wait. it was also incredibly good value. Would highly recommend.

I stayed in the room with prime view for two nights and the mountain view is definitely theraputic for someone who just escaped the Delhi heat. And the price is also reasonable and has high value-for-money. The owner is very friendly and attentive despite some initial communication problems. (Thank you so much for bringing me my phone charges!) And yes, they have the best trout in town while the breakfast is equally good. The restaurant, above all, has awesome views also. Location-wise, it is walking distance to the state museum. You may find mall road to be a bit far away, but the walk is nevertheless very pleasant in such kind of weather.||||However, for a room called "suite", the facilities definitely need to be improved. For example, it would have been more convenient if there is somewhere to hang the clothes. And a central light apart from bedlight will also be much appreciated for someone who wants to read and write a bit out of bed. The bedsheets can also been cleaner. Last but not least, wifi was also quite unstable in the room.||||In sum, I would love to stay back again next time when I visit Shimla. But also look forward for the rooms to be improved in abovementioned aspects.

The best thing about Spars Lodge is there food quality. Their Trout fish preparation was awesome. It is a old fashioned wooden hotel. Not so far from Mall road. Staffs are really cooperative. It was our first night stay of our 13 days long Spiti trip and they have set the tune for our journey perfectly. |We were alloted a valley facing room. Which gave us a splendid view of the valley. Toilets were clean. Rooms were perfectly arranged. Their restaurant area also has a very good view of the valley. |I will highly recommend this place.

They served steamed and smoked trout fish with garlic sauce . A quiet eating joint far from hubbub of crowded mall of Shimla , Spars Lodge Chaura Maidan within museum premises greets you with its little cozy casual ambiance. very good food being cooked under professional supervision . Those who prefer a little different way of relaxation with books and beautiful view of mountains and valley would definitely love this place. They take little more time to serve food but their serene atmosphere compensates.

Amazing food. Good ambiance. The food here is pretty amazing especially the dinner which has a choice between pork, chicken and fish. The smoked fish is a specialty here. It's a must try for people who love wholesome meals. Well situated in Chaura Maidan. The place is easily accessible and they have parking space too.

My husband and i stayed at spars lodge for 4 nights. It is situated a 2km walk from town. Don't let that put you off however. It meant it was quiet and relaxing. Shimla doesnt allow cars along the main road so the walk into town is also hassle free and incredibly pretty. The lodge itself was like an alpine lodge. The views from our room were stunning and the restaurant was great. Very friendly owners. It felt like a home away from home.

It's a beautiful quite place to relax. The rooms are less but nicely done up. It gives a very cozy and comfortable stay with really yummy and healthy food which is pretty much in budget. The terrace lounge is awesome to relax and enjoy with family and friends.

This is small hotel but is well maintained and very reasonable price. The manager, Asha Ram ji takes great care in maintaining the hotel. We had a homely feeling during the stay. It is located slightly away from the hustle bustle of mall road, Shimla. The mall road is 2.6 km from the hotel. We family of 4, including 2 children, stayed in one of their large rooms. The room size was good, there was also an extra bed. The room was clean, well organized. Only negative was that no hangers or provision provided for clothes in the Almirah. The taste of the food was also good especially the breakfast. Overall, we had a great experience and would like to stay again, when we visit Shimla.
