Where to stay in Jammu and Kashmir
Jammu and Kashmir hotels & accommodations

There are very few best hotels in Srinagar, Lalit is one of them. It is a bit far from the local markets but people who wants to stay away from the busy crowd/market, this hotel is meant for you. I liked every thing about this hotel and I will always recommend this property to my near ones.

As I reached the hotel after 3 hours driving , my room was on the 5th floor and guess what as I enter the room there wasn’t any light But then my room was upgraded and I got a bigger room with a bath tub and pool view The spa is just amazing , got feet reflexology done twice and rear everything was nice apart from breakfast which they can improve upon

hotel is clean, staff is well behaved but hotel is slightly away from the market and there is a really steep slope to reach the hotel. The hotel should at least provide free rides within 1 km of the area or at least from reception to main gate. Else all was fine. Slightly overpriced as well. It is a renovated hotel and at many places the patch job isnt that great. Howe...

Hosptiality of staff was very warm. Food is tasty. we got good welcome drink when we reached there and view from hotel was very good. Location is good but only point is it is far from main market (3.5km) but local cab (sumo) can be used for transportation (10inr/perperson).

Located right across a field of lush meadows is Vintage — a modern hotel with generous-sized rooms and all amenities required including 24x7 hot water, heating, kettle for making tea (yes they have green tea too), sleek bathroom fittings and decent views. Once again the staff was courteous and warm and ensured we had a comfortable stay. The rooms are spacious enough to...

The Khyber Himalayan Resort & Spa is a top notch 5 star hotel located very close to the major attractions in Gulmarg, the Gondola ride. It is just 5 minutes walk away from the hotel. The hotel is also centrally heated and have an amazing view of the mountain and hills. It is one of the best 5 stars hotels that I've ever stayed in. Will definitely recommend to others an...

Even before I checked into my room, the Managers, Haseeb and Sajad created such a good impression. Both gentlemen are the most polite and friendly and professional managers I have ever seen. Men like them truly makes a difference at the place where you stay. One would truly enjoy their stay at the Walisons as long as Mr Sajad and Mr Haseeb are on duty. They have the to...

It is a very well known hotel in Katra, hence easy to reach. Staff is very cooperative. Room was clean. Location of the hotel is bit isolated. Its near by the market but there is around a distance of 200 m which is very isolated hence we preffered to take an auto while going to the market. View of the mountains from my room was very eye soothing. Overall a very nice st...

Except for the location, which is very bad, right in the middle of Bus Terminus, Lords Inn can be categorized Excellent in almost all areas. It's very neat and clean, the rooms are quite big, with all the facilities matching world Standards. Apart from this, the staff are very courteous and helpful. Prices of eatables in room service menu are quite high, rather prohibi...

Staying on the Mascot Houseboat was a most enriching experience. The location by the quiet and tranquil Nageen Lake with traditional boats and surrounded by high green hills made it easy to unwind. The houseboat itself is a masterpiece of traditional Kashmiri handcraft, the carvings were many and the textile decorations together created a very special environment and a...

Nice interior lobby rooms elevator Near railway station Away from market but hotel staff courteous to arrange auto Hotel helped arrange Innova taxi for drop to jammu railway station The helped us arrange early breakfast at 7:00 am since our helicopter ride was early in morning They also packed dinner for train

To start with, it was an excellent stay at New Golden. Mr. Yaqub/Owner is terrific person and can be your guide not only in srinagar but also whole of kashmir. His brother was also equally attentive and helpful. Some may say that it is at Nagin Lake so away from market. But believe me, for market, you spend 2-3 hours but other time u need to relax,enjoy nature, calmnes...

although the walk up to the room was a bit steep wauae enjoyed our stay in this hotel and the attention we recieved in the restaurant and in the room by the staff assigned to our room.one of us(four)was unwell and he was well looked after by the satff in our absence from the rooms on the golfcourse.we enjoyed the hospitality .

I would stay here again. I recommend it as the best hotel in Jammu. The price is better than for lesser hotels, and the accommodations better than higher hotels. The staff was very exceptional, and helpful, and friendly. They made sure all our needs were met, and above. They served a fruit plate every day. Had as much water as we needed to drink. This hotel had everyth...

The Location of Grand Mumtaz near Golf Course in Pahalgam is one of the best features of this Hotel, The View of Mountains on two sides, River & Golf course on the other side is really very scenic. The Food served here is hygienic and tasty. The staff is very friendly. The Parking area is little smaller compared to the number of guests visiting this hotel. Rooms are ve...

PROBABLY ON OF THE FINEST LOCATIONS IN JAMMU HOWEVER THE PLACE NEEDS A COMPLETE OVERHAUL IN TERMS OF FACILITIES , CLEANLINESS , STAFF MANAGEMENT ..

we had an amazing experience staying on this unique houseboat, that is charming and traditional, with all the beautiful carved wood. Riaz organised our shikara ride around lake in the afternoon, provided cosy blankets too as it was winter time. Diaz was very informative and honest and we wish him the best. please support Kashmir as its beautiful :)

Mr Feroz and his family are really awesome and honest people. You can rely on Mr Feroz as he won't rip you off. To him, your satisfactory is his priority. It was very unfortunate that Jammu&Kashmir was on a strike and I can't see a lot of things. However, Feroz make sure that I at least see something in Srinagar. I had such a memorable time in Srinagar largely owe to h...

As per its name suggests, hotel royal krishna perfectly sticks to its commitment completely. According to me, royal krishna is one of the finest and luxurious hotels to make your stay memorable and worth spending. Easily accessible around the centre of main market, balganga and helipad. In-house transport facility was beyond our expectations as they were approachabl...

Located on quiet Nigeen Lake, from this houseboat we enjoyed many serene mornings with stunning views of the mountains reflected on the placid water. There a two houseboats, one "family style" with common areas and rooms rented individually, and a second, 2 bedroom/2 bath boat for private rentals. The larger boat is pictured. The smaller boat is not as nicely decorat...

Lonely guest house was wonderful from the beginning to the end of our stay. We stayed for three nights and we were looked after completely. The food was delicious and the staff organisation of taxis for tours was extremely smooth and easy. This hostel is great value for money and the atmosphere is very welcoming and familiar. I will definitely come back next time I am ...

This is the best hotel of my trip in India, the staff (Umar) is very friendly. He even waiting for me to cross the lake to the hotel at very cold night (in winter!) at Ghat no 15. Since i dont have india number so he can't reach me with phone and wait for me in the cold of the night (fyi there are no boat across lake at 8pm above). And he's accompany me too from the ho...

The owner and staff and family were very kind and helpful. The accommodation is basic and the location noisy with tour shikaras going by all the time. The hotel room on the second floor is more private. The special vegetarian food was very good. As always we make a note of what charges per day and confirm with the owners on houseboats - so there is no misunderstan...

before arrived in Kashmir , i was travelling to Delhi for 1 day stay . My unlucky day starr when i was being scam by Delhi local which is almost cost me 8000rupee for only one day . I was horrific since im solo traveller . Then i was in hard time to reschedule my budget and look over my budget again . Actually , i supposed spend my budget more in Kashmir because there ...

I like the way they lead us the main attractions in Jammu & Kashmir. As a first timer here in Kashmir, I thought that there're very helpful in planning our tours around this area. On top of that, they never lie about things, they're are not opportunist that like to take advantage of tourist but they're really honest. 👍🏻

It was a fantastic experience living in the Zaindari Houseboat. Both father and son Inran were so welcoming that they dis not make you feel like a stranger. I wanted internet and Inran immediately offered his handphone to be used as a hotspot, absolutely free. Aside frm the cheap price, you will truly have a good houseboat experience and the Kashmiri hospitality.

They need to elevate themselves on 'customer dealing' & 'customer care'. Frequent power failure was there & their definition of breakfast is 'only bread-butter & tea'! In fact first few days they even denied that breakfast was not part of our booking! All the best

I was really surprised to meet such a paradise in noisy Katra. Very quite and peaceful location, fantastic mountain view from the window, nice food - fresh and tasty, spacey room, very helpful and highly professional staff, great management. I was extremely happy to spend 5 days in Devi Mahal and i recommend it to everybody.

Room very cool but it have electric heatpad to make you warmer in blanket. Hotel at first hard to find because it located in place a little walk from main road. 10-15 mins. walk to Dal lock and Shikara dock.This hotel can or ganized a Day tour around Srinagar (Sonamarg,Gulmarg,Doodhpratri) all are very beautiful place and you will love Kashmir. I recommend Mr.Amed he i...

What can I say. A stay in a Srinagar houseboat is one to remember. And Adil's houseboat was perfectly maintained, comfortable, charming and well located away from the noise of the traffic and close to the little shops that are dotted along the inner part of Dal Lake. I paid c $17 per night and although I would have preferred if the cost of the gas heater in the room wa...

My stay at the Persian Houseboats has been an awesome experience. The boat owner Mr. Zahoor is a pleasant man and a great host. He arranged our tour to all the attractive destinations in Kashmir. Mr. Abdul, the caretaker has been professional. He took good care of us. I will highly recommend this houseboat to everyone. I will definitely stay there again when i'll ...

We only spent $10 on this room, and I think it was worth it. The place is kind of weird, the rooms are sort of in this indoor/outdoor courtyard and it's hard to tell if people are living there along with hotel guests. It was a little loud, but the fan was very loud so it drowned out the sound at night. The staff was nice, I especially appreciate when they let you check...

Tariq and his family was awesome, we really enjoy our one night stay, and hope we will come back very soon on Spring / Summer. Thank you for sharing story, and how to cook Kashmir Traditional Food. Place was amazing, located in peaceful area, you can easily find the place (of course via Shikara which is standby near Gate), they also provide Rent-Shikara to get around...

We were provided a different houseboat which was not the one I booked for. The name was Balmoral castle. On enquiry they said that it was their sister concern. Although the hospitality was excellent we were not provided with wifi as promised during booking which was dissapointing. Otherwise a great stay at budget prices.

We booked iram boathouse and asked them to provide us airport transfer a night before our arrival. They helped us all the way with prompt reply. We had good chat with Mr fayaz, his daughter and Mr Mudasir. Warmth greetings, excellent food, convenient stay, totally coming back!

We stayed at the hotel for two nights. The roonms are clean, have all the necessitiesvsuch as gesiur. Though rooms are smaller in size. The location is best, 800 meter from railway station abd 500 meter from city centre. The staff was very hospitable abd breakfast was yummy.

We were at the Hotel Raghunath for 4 days. The entire core of the hotel was being replaced; paint, floors, etc, so there were tarps and paint dust all over the place. Certain things were finished, such as the bathroom, which was marble and functional, if you could find out what button to push for hot water. The new lobby and reception will be impressive and work is goi...

This B&B is more like a Homestay and operated by a very hospitable and accommodating family. It is large attractive home with 3 stories where 3 married brothers and their wives and children along with their parents share this home. They have a nice veranda on the second floor where you can chill out with a nice cup of tea. I also had 2 wonderful dinners which had a goo...

The host of this houseboat is super friendly and polite. His name is Mr. Ibrahim. He helped us to arrange our transport around kashmir even before we reached Srinagar. This has save us a lot of time and hassle. His houseboat is very clean, hygenic and beautiful as well. You can see a lot of nice woods carvings in this houseboats. His houseboat is in the corner of Dal L...

This hotel had a clean, spacious, nicely decorated and quiet room with good amenities, I appreciated that I could control the heat to my liking in the room as well as the ample hot water. What made the stay outstanding, however was the staff who always went out of their way to make the stay comfortable. I can't say enough about the excellent personal care the gene...

We wanted something different than the houseboat experience for this trip and the lemon tree was perfect. It is a relatively new hotel as it is a heritage hotel completely remodeled. The rooms have VERY comfortable beds, and great bathrooms. The breakfast buffet is scrumptious and the omelette s are delicious.

The hotel was great. It have a huge room, hot blanket, and well decirated room. The staff was amazingly helpful. The food quite tasty and come with big potion. Only the heater is not function but they replace it with portable one. The car could not access this hotel since heavy snow covered this hotel surrounding.

The hotel is certainly not a convenient distance from the Dal Lake which is the heart of the tourist activity. Polo View is nearby. A majority of Indians go to Kashmir for its cuisine While the fare on offer was reasonable, it was not Kashmiri and not in tune with the steep tariff. The front office staff was indifferent to guest comfort as was housekeeping. The towels ...

If you are looking at this hotel with a view to stay at Pahalgam, look no further. This hotel was the best part of my holiday. Besides the pleasant climate at Pahalgam and the limited outings available,the hotel was always a place we loved to come back to. The rooms are clean and well maintained.The gardens are manicured and have a superb view and lots of seating. The ...

We had a great stay at the Atrium. We stayed 2 nights as we visited Vaishno Devi. We had multiple meals there. Food was always fresh and delicious. Service all through the hotel was impeccable. The rooms were large and room comforts were very good (like room heating, semi-firm mattresses, fluffy pillows, clean sheets, clean soft towels, etc. Very peaceful environment t...

I believe the houseboat itself is one of the best in Dal/Nageen Lake, it is a proper 'A' class houseboat with proper heating and it is essential during winter. However, the heater in my room was not working during my stay and the owner took extra effort to explain to me. It was a let down though because it is very cold during my stay and I was unable to bath. However, ...

The Del Lake is the beautifully place and surrounding by houseboats and trading boats. We happy to enjoy in this houseboat, All staffs, Kashmiris, are nice that they like smile, friendly, activeness, helping, and recheck for us. Dinner is nice, fresh, tasty and clean.

So happy that I chose sukoon houseboat for my short time in Srinagar. The staff and room were great as was the food choice and ability to provide an alternative to what was listed on the menu. Hope they will consider switching from twinnings tea bags to real leaf Indian tea which is better quality and better for the environment, and also think of removing use of small ...
