Hotel needs updating
According to feedback, Shalimar Hotel would benefit from redecoration. Guests describe the outside of the building as being run down and the reception area as looking shabby. However, some of the rooms have been renovated and look quite smart.

Amenities don't always work
Guests were sometimes disappointed to discover some of the amenities in their rooms not functioning as they should. In particular, the showers can be difficult to use with the water temperature either being very cold or very hot.
negative:
Noisy at times
A few guests mention being disturbed by noise while staying here. Due to the hotel's close proximity to Heathrow, noise from planes flying overhead can sometimes be heard and there are also reports of traffic noise from the road. Guests were also disturbed by music when functions were being held at the hotel and this sometimes lasted until the early hours.
