We were in for a surprise.. the hotel exceeded our expectations. They REALLY took care of us.
The hotel, although old and under-maintained has the old school rustich charm to it
It is huge and adorned with beautiful Kashmiri handicrafts. Food is decent too. Staff is very courteous and polite.
And about the safety, it is inside the SKICC conference centre which is heavily guarded by the army- be rest assured of staying in one of the safest hotels in Srinagar.
We initially stayed a night before moving for Gulmarg & Pahalgam but decided to come back to the same room upon our return to Srinagar.
I highly recommend this hotel if you would love to take a stroll around the Dal Lake on a quiet evening; and maybe a nap in the beautiful garden frome where you see the lotuses blooming.



But their restaurant puts even their shoddy reception to shame. My wife called the room service to get the food menu. you call on 82 and they ask you to call 81. You call 81 and they ask you to call 82. We never found the menu nor did we find whose jurisdiction does the task of finding the menu falls in. So we decided to directly head to the restaurant. They only had a buffet with three curries and rice. This is the first time that I saw gheeya ki sabji in a buffet. There was no other food item available. If you want ala carte, you just pick whatever is in the buffet. And there was not much in the buffet. There was literally just one staff member serving everyone. So instead of getting the water from him, I just went to my room, picked up the water bottle, and continued with the dinner.
Later some locals told me that this property is government-managed. So that explains everything. You don't want into a SBI branch expecting the treatment of an ICICI branch. No matter how much of a big home loan you are taking.



To add to your woes you can go as part of Make My Trip package where they dish out some horrible food which could comprise of watery dal, sad vegetable dishes & tasteless chicken dishes. If that's doesn't dissatisfy you the uncooked gulab jamuns sure will. The service staff is very indifferent with no uniform and offer you papads in a corrugated carton. At the end of it a giant 'tip box' is displayed if you still feel generous.
For the not so generous you can join various other protestors who are subjected to this 'one hell of a paradise'.
This hotel location and view is good but from inside service,food and quality of service is like Govt. offices.
No renovation for a long time ..
