YMCA shimla Tourist Hostel

Great place. But, what's with the YMCA label 🏷 Are you serious about the name. Pls give us a room without ants 🐜 We love the concept, location ..... Don't let us down, Young Men. There's nothing when you're gone or sold!

I was doing my Spiti valley trip and my last stop was at Shimla. I decided to extend my vacation for 2 more days and stay in Shimla and explore the place. My tour guide suggested that I stay here since it has the best location on the mall road and is also very budget friendly. I seriously benefited due to the prime location of this spot. Now this is a hostel to attached washrooms that are not there but their washroom facilities are really good. The rooms were clean and tidy. The view from the area is also amazing. Their fooding system has been stopped after COVID and it's uncertain when it will start. Nonetheless this is the best place to stay for solo travelers.

It was the best stay at a very affordable price. The rooms were nice and the washrooms were clean. The staff was very respectful.

We had a great time in this hostel, rooms were very clean, staff was very helpful and kind. We also used the laundry service which was good. Bathroom is outside the room but clean and comfortable Would recommend, location is the best in Shimla and affordable option

This is a great place to stay in the heart of Shimla, just above Christchurch. It's in a historical building that still exudes original 1930's vibes. The double rooms are big with views over the town and a fireplace in the corner. Quiet and comfortable even at peak times. A real gem considering that Shimla is rapidly being taken over by fast foods, commercial outlets and a sprawl of ugly concrete blocks. Paid 800 Rs for the room which is really cheap for this town and location - the only hiccup was the lack of breakfast at the time I stayed.

The location is perfect within Shimla main town. The Ridge, Mall Street, and Christ Church are at your doorstep. There is a beautiful view from the hotel and nice balcony and an enclosed terrace area to see it from. The rooms are basic but comfortable. Bathrooms are clean and everything works well. The manager was so nice and he really helped me out a lot during my stay.

Very good service and rooms best experience and budget friendly

Stayed here for 3 days, location is excellent, it is located at mall road beside church, view is very good, rooms are decent manageable, no food option. If you are looking for a good location to stay for a night in Shimla near ridge mall road you can go for it. Jai Singh, caretaker is helpful.
