I had booked The Montreal for my autumn trip to just Srinagar. I and my sister, we both, choose The Montreal. We love hotels that are not in the central, hustle bustle area as city life is enough to have that. We wanted to spend some quiet and quality time in the city with a hotel close to Mughal Gardens (The speciality of Srinagar being the garden city) and Dal lake. The location is located in walking distance to Shalimar Garden and is very close to Nishant. All the other major gardens, Tulip, Botanical, Pari Mahal, Chasme Shahi, Chinar Park are within 4km to 5km from the hotel. Just outside the hotel within 2km you come across Dal Lake Foreshore Road side and then you can either go towards Boulevards or Hazratbal. The hotel has a very homely feeling with spacious room, good decor, with all the basic amenities. It felt homely to us especially the staff behaviour. The breakfast was delicious with ample options to choose from. I want to be clear that I got a far much greater return in terms of booking this hotel compared to many I have booked in the past with the same cost. For future too, I will book the same as it was the best week long trip with the best stay I had. The staff was so good that we felt sad leaving the city and they were very happy in helping us know about the city. Be it family or friends, a good hotel can make or break your stay. I am happy that I chose The Montreal.
