Plus points - Nice location and a nice garden/lawn Minus points - Small room size, expensive buffet (breakfast and dinner) given the number of items. Taste ok. If you are looking for staying in the hotel and relax/enjoy the view/lawn/garden, its worth the money spent. However if you want to make it a base and use it primarily for the... More

I enjoyed my stay in the dar-es-salam. The interiors of the hotel were excelled above what I expected. They had a majestic feel. The rooms were quite comfortable with a good view of the nagin lake and fancy kashmiri interiors. The Indian food was also delicious. Only the service was a bit sloggy but tolerable.

Run by the warm & quite young Mr. Khurram Hussain & his family, this boutique hotel having some 14 rooms in total, is one of the high points of our srinagar stay. Set by the quaint Nigeen lake, far from the madding crowd of the more commercial Dal lake, with a sprawling & extremely well maintained lush green lawn with... More

This hotel located on the banks of the Nagin Lake, offers wonderful natural views. They have a plush garden, which is a treat for having your morning tea/coffee or just plain relaxing facing the charming lake and the hills behind. Room Service, Cleanliness, upkeep of the property and above all the food was great. I stayed here with my family... More

There are large shared spaces like living rooms, covered balconies and dining room which are exquisitely furnished with traditional kashmiri artefacts. The staff is extremely polite and helpful and... More

Perfect setting by the lake, quiet surroundings, beautiful view, good garden with large and well kept flowers, clean and well maintained rooms, colonial interiars, clean linen, delicious food, by and large good service.

I am visiting Kashmir after a gap of 33 years and Dar-Es-Saalam was the first port of call for us. Booked this place after going through the reviews in Tripadvisor and trust me, the reviews are 100% spot on. It is a beautiful property overlooking the Nigeen/Nagin Lake. This is basically a house which has been converted into a hotel... More

Let me mention at the very outset that this was by far the most beautiful hotel we stayed at in Kashmir, and this place exemplifies the reason Srinagar is known as being amongst the most beautiful places in India. We stayed here during the Srinagar leg of our honeymoon, and what a stay it was! This was bought by the... More
