“Zoz Sm5 in Shimla presents a budget-friendly option, though be aware that it seems to operate under the guise of another name, "Unique Hotel," which could lead to initial confusion. While basic amenities like a TV are available, potential guests should manage their expectations regarding services like Wi-Fi or on-site dining, as kitchen facilities are not available. I believe knowing these points upfront will help travelers make informed decisions.”
