An excellent location to stay with family. Right on the bank of Nagin lake, it gives a beautiful view of the lake, faraway mountains and the surrounding greens. The staff is very courteous and helpful. They introduced us to a good travel agent too.

Hotel location and ambience was exellent, exceptional staff, limited room service

The hotel stay experience was excellent. However we were shocked when we were told that the hotel does not provide room service for main meals and were forced to take buffet. The restaurant does not have ala carte service. However the staff did finally agree to provide us room service.

Good Stay

I booked this hotel as per reviews on Tripadvisor. I think hotel has suffered a lot during recent flood in Kashmir. Environment was homely. Staffs were very cordial and well mannered specially Mr Mehraj-u-din and Mr Farooq Ahmed. They do not have a bar. Anyways stay was very comfortable.

mosquitoes and insects in loads since the hotel is located right next to the still waters of Nigeen lake.

The location next to the lake looks good however, there are lot of mosquitoes breeding near the shore and it is a constant irritation. Lots and lots of packs of small insects fly around in big groups and you are not able to sit outside. Dinner buffet is overpriced and they do not serve a la carte. We had to make a fuss since my kids did not like the buffet spread and initially the hotel refused to serve a la carte. It is when we decided to go on plantains only that the were ready to accept our orders.

exceeded beyond expectations

initially thought the location was too far, but on arrival it was perfect. The staff made the real difference as they were very helpful.

Great place, warm people, but beware of unannounced 10% service charge they add on all the bill

The hotel has a character. It is not like a standard 5 star hotel. It is converted from a huge bunglow. It is on the banks of the nageen lake. Nice lawn where you can sit and chat and sip a cup of tea if weather permits. You can take long walks. I am in love with this hotel. However, the 10% service charge added to the whole bill (including the room rent) was a bit of a surprise - it was not quoted in the price and it can change the economics quite dramatically, if you are two families staying for 3 nights!

Excellent Stay

It was a perfect hotel for a comfortable stay. The staff really took good care of us. Food was great. Location is perfect can be accessed through Nageen lake or from the main road.

Very good hotel with very nice staffs

Rajendiran Ramatchandirane , Jun 17, 2016

Very good hotel with very nice staffs.

I can rate this just average!

Vishwajit Sinha , Jun 17, 2016

Breakfast could have been better! No varieties at all. Fruits were awful. No croissant or any pastry with tea! Only Paranthas and purees. Cereal were not good at all. Even the dinner was not that great! Bathroom need substantial facelift.

Disappointing. Poor WIFI connection. Breakfast limited to scrambled eggs

Amir Ekanej , Jun 17, 2016

Water took up to 5 minutes to get warm. The room was warm, The restaurant and the reception area were cold and not heated. We visited the hotel in December, a cold month in Kashmir. Not sure how they hotel is in spring or summer but I would not recommend this hotel in late fall or winter. There is nothing four star about the hotel at least from the outside. On the bright side, the staff was very nice and courteous and the rooms were nice and clean overall.

Excellent Stay

Positives- Positioning of the hotel - at extremely calm and silent locale of Srinagar, next to Nigin lake, opens to lake 2 side, which is followed by mountains. Best view one could imagine. The hotel has a beautiful garden with table or chair arrangement. One can spend the whole day there. The common rooms has the most classical items and the ambiance if phenomenal. Staff behavior - I have stayed in best of the hotels across regions, but I found the staff here is the best. Best in terms of their service, understanding and going beyond their way to help. Even when talking between themselves they speak in least possible decibels so that they are unheard and does not distract anybody. Cost - Value for money- 10 out of 10. We got the hotel at the best rate, thanks to MakeMyTrip happy hours. Food - It was not in my package but still I availed whenever I could. It was delicacies, treat to the taste buds. Mark my words - This is the best hotel in Srinagar. On a lighter side, the best treatment ever I have received after marriage was at Daressalam. Special thanks to the staff.

Good Stay

This was my first trip to Srinagar, this is the only hotel I have stayed in, probably the best hotel in Srinagar with NAGIN lake as back drop. This hotel was a Residential house converted as Boutique Hotel. You will have to dine in the hotel as there are no restaurants close by. They serve good food. Only negative about the hotel is its far from city centre and you need a vehicle to commute.

Not upto the mark

Hitardha Bayapuneni , Jun 17, 2016

Room heating is bad. No toothpaste which is very essential ... breakfast and dinner are very expensive not worth at all.

Excellent service and best food in Srinagar

Nirav Desai , Apr 26, 2016

Located on a quite part of Nagin Lake with the most amazing view, excellent service and delicious food. Best place to stay in Srinagar. One can just step out into their lovely garden and call for a Shikara and go for a lovely boat ride or just sit in the garden sipping on hot kava.
