Vijay Bajaj , Jul 20, 2018

Everything is just too good about the houseboat. The owner is very helpful person. We had plan to stay for 2 nights but because of the service of one of the staff member and behavior of owner we stayed for 1 more night.

Nice

Overall a nice experience but did not get what we wanted.
Nice stay but they charges for the water bottles also.

Memorable Stay!

Smita Singh , Jun 28, 2018

This place is having ultimate interiors. Food can be ordered of your own choice but need to give prior update for it to the care taker. Very peaceful place and good for family stay.
Lovely and peaceful place for a relaxing stay. It has made our tour more memorable.

Breakfast and dinner price is not reasonable.

Mayilsamy P , Aug 02, 2017

They provided only 3 breads and white upma for breakfast and they charged 250rs and dinner they provided 3 sapathi, rice and 2 piece chicken they charged 450. These prices are totally unreasonable. So better to eat outside of the restaurant. Every time we need to ask WiFi connection if it is turned off. Everyone are cheating so we need to ready To bargain their amount Divide by 3.

Awesome location !!!

Harshdeep kumar , Dec 25, 2016

The best part is location and homely experience ... The owner is helpful to every extent. There was water and scenic beauty all around. Got home cooked food and was catered very well and were asked frequently on our needs. Overall a very satisfying experience!

Magnificent view and excellent hospitality

Uruj Perwaiz , Oct 08, 2016

This houseboat is absolutely magnificent. I stayed here as a solo female traveler. The family lives in a home behind the houseboat and they were available to take care of me the entire time. The family shared delicious local Kashmiri meals with me. The rooms are very comfortable, the bathrooms and showers are large. The houseboat's terrace view is gorgeous, a direct view of the mountains for sunrise and sunset. Absolutely romantic. The family arranged a shikara (boat) ride for me around the lake, which was great. This is the best location for a houseboat. I will come back with my dad and sisters for a family trip again.

Worst experience

Ibrahim , Aug 31, 2016

This owner Mr. Bashir is a liar and a fraud person. He made us to spend one night on different houseboat just because his Houseboat Sikandra palace was overbooked. They do not manage the booking properly. There is nothing like delux, super delux. They gave the worst room. It was very noisy. Bed was damn shaking. I would recommend people to avoid this houseboat. People here are not genuine. Really bad service and experience.

Worst in customer friendly

Sudhanshu Sant , Aug 09, 2016

I didn't check in this hotel due to tension and curfews in many places during this time. Despite this fact this hotel denied for cancellation and refund of the booking. My money went waste in this booking. On the other hand two other hotel Grand Mumtaz in Pahalgam and Mumtaz hotel in Gulmarg, cancelled my bookings immediately through make my trip and initiated full refund. I will never book this houseboat in my future.

Comfortable stay

Arvind Gupta , Aug 01, 2016

We stayed for one night. It was comfortable stay though it was very hot in the night and rooms are with fans only so it took some time to get the room cool. Services were excellent with some choice of breakfast and dinner. Worth to stay for one night to get houseboat experience. Kids enjoyed a lot with sikara trip.

Awesome experience

Virender Arya , Aug 01, 2016

The awesome experience. I visited with family with my two kids. It's amazing. Worth money and the location is the best one in Dal Lake and the Shikara ride was awesome from Ghat no 17. We enjoyed the sightseeing which is very near to this place such as Chashme Shahi, Nishat garden and Shalimar bagh.

Amazing stay

Vikram Nanda , Aug 01, 2016

Good Location and very nice and clean Rooms very Co-operative Staff and Owner Of Houseboat we felt like as if we are staying in our Home. No Complaint against Houseboat but only drawback whenever you need to go to market you need to hire Shikara boat. Owners should provide Shikara ride to and fro from Houseboat but Overall an amazing stay.

Good location, valve for money

Rajesh Janu - , Aug 01, 2016

Hi am rajesh, I stay in sikandra house boat for one day. It was spacious rooms, neat, clen. Staff was very nice, good behaviour. Location was best in Dal lake. Every one should stay atleast there. 10/10 for his service. Hot water was provided. Food was also good.

Excellent Houseboat

Vivek Jha , Aug 01, 2016

The Sikandra Palace Group owns a few Houseboats in great locations around the famous Nehru Park in Dal lake. The owner is passionate about the hospitality industry, he personally escorted us to our houseboat the "Persian Palace Deluxe". We were travelling with family and small kids and the owner was so considerate that he gave us the entire houseboat with two rooms, attached washroom, dining room, living room and there was a small garden outside as well. The entire houseboat was very nicely and traditionally decorated. Well maintained by a very dedicated caretaker Javed bhai. The food was excellent. There was also complimentary WiFi. Will definitely recommend everyone especially people travelling with family to book their stay in this wonderful houseboat.
