We really enjoyed our stay at Saiba Cottage.  Our room was very clean and comfortable with a great view!  Our balcony provided a wonderful place to sit and relax.  We ate many meals with our host, Mahinder, and another guest.  All the food was delicious (and good for our somewhat sensitive Western palettes).  Mahinder went above and beyond to make sure we had a good stay.  When we arrived he met us, when we left he walked us to the bus stop and sent us on our way (with his phone number should we need help), he spent a morning taking us in his car on a tour  (not to mention the impromptu tour he gave us when we met before we were staying at Saiba— he saw us trying to figure out things about the historic buildings on Mall Road and offered explanations).  Most of all we loved learning about India.  We had great discussions and he patiently answered our many questions.  To stay with Mahinder is to become his friend.  If back in Shimla we will certainly stay with him again!

Professional and Personable

The staff of Saiba cottage understand the word Hospitality. They care for their guests. Whatever you need, you can ask for help. The owner takes great interest in the well being of all the guests. The rooms are well maintained and have all a balcony. TV is available in the room as well as free Wifi. The bathroom is having hot water any time during the day.  The food is excellent especially the dinner. It is all freshly cooked - vegetarian - and every day there was a different menu.  Moreover it is very cheap. Wifi is available and works well.

Excellent hospitality, very good freshly cooked food

The owner Mr. Mohinder of Saiba Cottage doesn't understand ABCD of hospitality. An extremely egoistic arrogant character who doesn't have the word politeness and service in his dictionary. We had booked rooms on triple occupancy CP through MMT. He refused to provide breakfast to the third member of the room and only agreed with much grumbling after we showed him the confirmed voucher. If you want to order food (forget non-veg) you have to do so 5 to 6 hours in advance. You don't have any choice, have to eat whatever they provide. The rooms are connected with very high stairs and if you are an elderly person you can very well expect it to be your last climb. When I asked Mr. Mohinder to allow our driver to freshen up after such a long drive, he simply refused without an aorta of humanity.
