I stayed in retiring room @ Shimla station during feb 2019 for 48 hrs.
Pros:
Great view, working hot water geezer, clean rooms n quilt
Cons:
Far from anyplace(u will have to walk, no autos...
more... ), limited food options ( only aloo paratha ) in canteen and also no dhabas nearby, no TV's ( some one reported there are TV, but there wasn't any).
