Finally after a lot of change-of-plans we decided to go for a long trip to Kashmir, Srinagar. We were a group of 12 people. We had taken a tour package from Antilog Vacations , after due diligence , to find out the best tour operator for Srinagar-Pahalgam-Gulmarg-Sonmarg which can give us Cheap rates & good value.They gave us Dares Salam/Taj/Lalit...

What an experience !!! We stayed here for 3 nights. The hotel has a lot of character. Every piece of furniture, decoration , ceilings (with wood engravings) in there seems to have a story to tell. Mr. Khurram who is the owner was very welcoming and courteous. The rooms, beds, blankets (all down comforters) were top notch. Steaming hot water... More

This hotel has reinforced my faith in tripadvisor reviews after a few misses. It is indeed the best hotel in Srinagar as the rating suggests. We stayed in the Taj for 3 nights and in Dar es Salaam for 4 nights and can confirm that the Hotel Dar es salaam is an experience in hospitaility beyond what any five star... More

although we were initially scheduled to stay at The Lalit, we requested our travel agent to book us in Dar-E-Salaam.

Dar Es Salam is a big house on the banks of Nageen Lake. The lake is not very clean, but the view is very beautiful throughout the day, and even at night (you could see lights on house boats). It has got a nice garden and many chairs where you may choose to have your breakfast. The staff are very... More

The hotel was like the nice home. Everything of liking available. The staff very nice. The hotel owner having personal presence and lookafter. Nice and clean. Very good site and nice upkeep of garden along with.

I stayed in Lalit last year and while I would rate them 3/10 (3 just for the exquisite property) I would easily rate Dar es Salam - a 9/10! The first look of the hotel was disappointing however we realised soon enough that first impressions are not lasting impressions. Khurram the owner of the hotel, the staff - Shabir, Farooq,... More
