We had an excellent time at Vivanta.( 9th may,11 to 13th may,11) The staff was very friendly and co-operative. We were new to the place and was offered a very good driver who took us to Gulmarg, Pahalgam,etc in Innova. overall an EXCELLENT Place to stay.Had a great time there.

The location is wonderful the views are great, if you don't stay here at least go and have a beer (about the only alcohol) or soft drink at sunset. Our room was very good we were on the top with a balcony. The hotel is only a year old an already the wear and tear is starting to show, there... More

Firstly the positives: The location is fabulous overlooking Dal Lake. The front of house staff are very helpful and knowledgable The rooms are large and comfortable. And the 'room for improvements' The spa isn't functional - it is made obvious when you book, but this seems to have been the case for many months now The swimming pool wasn't open... More

We had the pleasant and memorable experience of staying at this hotel in April, 2012. Unlike all other top grade hotels in Srinagar, one gets a panoramic view of the Dal Lake from this hotel and all its rooms and also of the recently created Tulip Garden. With this advantage and coupled with Taj's standard and service, the Hotel can... More

The restaurant has a 180 degree panoramic view of the lake through floor to ceiling windows! But now for the downsides. No gym, Spa is under construction, swimming pool... More

I stayed at Vivanta Srinangar for 4 nights with my wife at our first wedding anniversary. The hotel is an hour from the airport, on a hilltop overlooking Dal lake and the mountains. The hotel lobby was well designed, but the narrow corridors looked more like an industrial design than aesthetic. What we liked: Great location close to Tulip Garden.... More

Taj can be very proud of this beautifully located Hotel facing the Dal Lake. Stayed here for two nights and it has been a very different experience. Srinagar as such looks like a very ruined Town. The moment you arrive in to Airport, You can sense the hardships people go through. Main town is spoiled like hell and roads are... More

The best view one can expect in Srinagar. It is located at a height, hence gives a complete view of Dal and areas around it. I would recommend it as a must for first time visitors looking for a luxury hotel as it offers a mesmerizing view of the paradise that Srinagar is. The flip side is --> most of... More
