Vatsalyam Home Stay, hotel in Shimla

Located in Shimla in the Himachal Pradesh Region, 5 km from The Mall Road, Vatsalyam Home Stay boasts a terrace and views of the mountain. Free private parking is available on site.

The property was spotless, our room was spacious with a large scenic balcony. The bathroom was modern. Breakfast was varied and beautifully home cooked. We ate there each evening and thoroughly enjoyed the vegetarian food served to us and the company of Surinder our host’s father. Asheesh and his family were gracious hosts. We were delighted to meet them and to be their guests. We arrived as strangers and left as friends.

    True meaning of "homestay ". Mr. Akash is a such a lovely host. He arranged everything we asked for. Actually we planned short trip for our anniversary and he knew it and he gave us surprise by arranging cake. Big room , neat and cleaned. Everything was sparkling cleaned. Home made veg food is cheery on the cake during this pandemic. Next time we will come with our entire family for longer stay.
