I stayed at this hotel for one night on my way from Rohru to Delhi. The hotel is bang on the Shimla-Solan road in the posh area of Shimla right opposite Akashvani Kendra. But, this hotel is *******. It is a small property and the fixtures are nicely done but are unkempt. The chairs are grand but dusty. Me and my colleague slept around 12.30pm and around 1.30 am I woke up on listening the sound of an alarm. I did not set an alarm in my phone, so I woke my colleague to switch off the alarm in his phone. He woke up, but even he hadn’t set alarm in his phone. We realised that the alarm tone was coming from the landline phone instrument which didn’t even have the alarm function in it! So, to check, my colleague picked up the phone receiver; but no one spoke from the other side. As soon as my colleague put the receiver down, the bed started shaking vigorously. We were both above 100 kgs, so it’s not easy to shake the bed with two such heavy people. The bed shook for good 15 seconds. We thought it might have been an earthquake; and went to sleep. In the morning, I googled but there was no news of any earthquake in Shimla. When we asked the receptionist in the morning, he quickly dismissed the discussion saying that it could have been an earthquake. When I inquired about the history of the hotel, the receptionist told me that it was once the abode of the Viceroy’s daughter. I guess, she still likes to shake hands with her visitors!
