We stayed here in a private room for 4 nights and this was probably the best decision in the entire trip. The rooms were super comfortable and clean and the staffs were super helpful. We needed a printout of a document for our trek and the zostel printer was not working. Shabbir bhai sent someone to get it printed from a nearby shop and refused to take the charges from us. The amazing hospitality we received from this zostel was truly the highlight of our trip. Being an unmarried couple it was a tricky for us to find a couple-friendly accommodation in Srinagar during our travel days, but we were glad that zostel came to our rescue. The best part was we easily found travel buddies and shared cabs to Gulmarg and Sonamarg. This not only helped us to meet likeminded people but also helped us to share the cab costs for the day-trips. I always had the belief that Kashmir was more of a honeymoon or family destination but it is not. Lots of bachelor crowds do visit Kashmir and Zostel is the ideal place to meet them. Stories were shared and new places were added to the bucketlist during our interaction with other travellers. If you are travelling solo, or in a group, or are just a couple like us, I highly recommend you to try out Zostel.…

This is the first time I booked a zostel. Only thing I did not like was the smell in washroom. There was penetrated weired smell in washroom everytime. Also window did not close fully. There is always a gap. And please change the curtains in washroom. They are so transparent. I went in May so I was not so bothered with electricity cuts but it happens frequently. And yes, there is no view from window. Good thing - heater. few things new to me(first time zosteler) : Keeping the slippers outside. No one to provide food or water in room. You have to take by yourself. Cleaning is not done daily and only if asked. Driver's car is not allowed to be parked inside.

I had initially planned to stay here for 2 days, but thanks for their hospitality and incredible location, I ended up staying for another 2 days. A huge shoutout to Sameer and his crew. PS, their location is an added incentive if you’re looking to enjoy the natural vibe of Srinagar.

I was a bit sceptical to stay at Zostel, and how wrong I was. Not only was it at. Great location, extremely safe, the most delicious food, lots of games, the staff and managers were so forthcoming and warm. It’s also a great place to meet fellow travellers and have a non commercial insight into the place. We stayed here for 2 nights and I would definitely recommend friends and families visiting Srinagar to stay at Zostel, it’s value for money and absolutely wonderful. So glad I went for it.

Right from the beginning I kept calling them to check if it would be safe to travel to Srinagar... and they kept saying that there is absolutely no problem. Trust me, Asif Bhai made our stay so comfortable that words would fall short to thank him enough. And Rafiq bhai’s Dal, oh that’s something we loved to the core. As regards the location, it’s a little drive from the main dal lake. The location is close to Nishat garden. All in all, an amazing stay. P.S. Don’t miss the book in the book rack: Under My Blue Sky KASHMIR 😍

Zostel Srinagar was my first ever Zostel experience and while it could have been better with a little more attention to the small things, overall this is a decent place to stay at. The location is good - conveniently located about a 10 mins walk away from Nishat gardens and a few eateries. The staff is friendly and a special shoutout to Mr. Shaukat who coordinated with us throughout our stay from arranging an airport pickup to ordering meals etc - his patience and help is much appreciated. His partner Sohail and the on-site help are just as good. The deluxe rooms are neat and comfortable enough. There is a common area with some table top games and comfortable seating and a second indoor seating space right next to the reception. There is some room for improvement in terms of providing some room essentials and toilet supplies (there are none). The linen and towels could have been cleaned better as well. You can get food ordered through the staff from the one restaurant they have partnered with. You can of course venture out into the neighborhood and the rest of the city for other options. There is rooftop seating with a view of Dal lake that makes for good sunset views. Unfortunately, during out stay the rooftop seating was kind of a mess. A pretty large and noisy group soured the experience of the second night a tad - I wish the staff was able to do handle them better. Overall, this is a decent place to stay at when visiting the city with some very helpful people around, even if it leaves a little something to be desired.…

Stayed one night with Zostel Srinagar and really enjoyed the hospitality of the staff and the place. While its located away from the centre of Srinagar it close to Nishad Bagh and Dal Lake (not the main entrance).
