Shalimar Lodge

Pros the room, beds, washrooms and Shalimar Lodge otherwise were neat and clean. Staff was quite suppotive, food purchased at shalimar bhawan (restaurat of same Shalimar Lodge owner beside Shalimar Lodge) was also delicious. The staff helped by giving his postpaid number on rent at nominal charges of 50 rupees per day. They also have pick and drop facility from railway station in omni van, at same price as of auto over there. Cons don't keep your bags in reception inverter room if you have something expensive in it. When we kept our two bags (with my dslr in it) in inverter room after our checkout and went to market, my mother who was sitting at reception sofa (just outside inverter room, observed suspicious activity. 3 boys entered into that room and before they could have checked our bags, my mom brought the bags out and kept bags with her, and those boys also went immediately outside of Shalimar Lodge after this. So, may be we are not right but 3 guyz coming in pretending doing nothing, didn't answer my mothers question e properly and left the room as a bags were out, was a bit suspicious for us. Apart from this incident, all went well and the Shalimar Lodge was value for money paid.

Hygenity, staff behaviour and food all are excellent. We've stayed there for 2 days, staff was prompt on service, well cleaned rooms and excellent food. In addition you can purchase dry fruits and kashmere shawls nearby this lodge. Situated near banganga(600 mots from the check post) and 1. 8 km from railway station. Overall its right place if you're looking for budget accommodation in katra.

I didn't experience any safety related issues during my 4 days stay. It is located on the way to the vaishno devi entrance and registration counter. Restaurants and all the necessary things are available in the adjacent shops.

The staff's behaviour was good, the rooms were neat and clean, the restaurant food was cheap and good, owner shidhant was very cooperative 4 star out of 5, still they could provide some basic accessories in that price like hand wash, moisturizer, tooth paste. Etc it will cost around 50 rs i hope, overall good experience, we can prefer this one

We visited on 13th to 15th July, our experience was really good, staff is really polite and helpful, faster service, delicious food, really close to main dwar of mata vaishno devi yatra. Pick and drop service from station and Shalimar Lodge to station is plus point. highly recommended
