Hotels Near Sri Pratap Singh Museum, Srinagar

I was attracted to Srinagar by the charm of staying on a houseboat, which provides the unique experience of living on the water in a spanielled elegant bedroom, with all the conveniences of a luxury hotel, Houseboat Sweetstar is like a luxury hotel, has fine furniture, good carpets and modern bathroom fittings. It provides a balcony in the front, a lounge, dining room and bedrooms with attached bathrooms. Some time staying in a houseboat could give you the feeling of being trapped in the water as you are dependent on shikara all the time to come to the bank. But Houseboat Sweet star is directly is accessible from the banks which sets you absolutely free.

Had a wonderful time in this hotel. Spent great time in this hotel with my family. Everyone was delighted with the service

On my holiday to Srinagar with my family during the first week of May 2017, I stayed at Mahatta Home Stay at Rajbagh, Srinagar. The ambience of the homestay was very good with beautiful garden, rooms overlooking the garden, with 24 hours hot water, heated beds. It is a perfect place for a perfect holiday. I should mention about Anita aunty, who runs the home stay. The food was simply yummy be it, Lunch or Dinner. Aunty always kept us guessing as to the dishes that would turn on the table. Aunty who also runs a cafe in Srinagar including South Indian cuisine is an awesome cook!! Morning breakfast were very sumptuous which kept us guessing as to what would be churned on the table. The food was always served hot, innovative like pancakes out of besan, spinach, aloo, aloo parathas, poori baji to mention a few. There were also stuffed grilled sandwiches with different mouth- watering stuffings. My family and I are strict non- vegetarians. But thanks to the innovative veg dishes prepared by aunty, we took a special liking to veg food during our entire stay. Aunty even prepared muffins out of tender coconut, which were really awesome. The bakery dishes were eggless as Mahatta Home stay is a strict vegetarian. Apart from this, I can never forget the way Aunty took care of me, when I suffered a twisted ankle during our visit to Kashmir valley in Pahalgam. Aunty was very helpful and we always turned to Aunt's advice and suggestions about places of visit, restaurants that serve to the local kashmiri signature delicacies and local shopping as to saffron, badam (almond), walnut and must also mention about the travel arrangements that Aunty guided us. She saw to that we were totally at ease with the taxi, she arranged during our stay. The driver of the taxi of whom I should make a special mention (Mr. Mohsin Khan) who took me to the hospital for the treatment of my twisted ankle and stayed with us 12 midnight, in spite of him having to take care of his wife who his 8 months pregnant. He has now become our family friend. People in J & K are more compassionate towards the needs of the people which makes them beautiful not only by appearance but more by their heart. Before my visit to Srinagar, I had apprehensions with regard to the safety of my family and me. But after my visit to Srinagar, I now feel my apprehensions with respect to safety are baseless. On the day we left to Chennai back, I was totally at loss of words to say goodbye to Aunty, as at that time only I realised how much Aunty and I have bonded together. Today being a mother's day, I look up to Aunty as my mother and my stay at her place was like I was in my mother's place. Hats off to Aunty and her team, for her compassion and commitment with which she goes about her home stay. Once again I am at loss of words to thank her and recommend her homestay.
