“Great view. excellent service. Very courteous staff.
However this is an older property under renovation. I did not know about renovations until at the property. Many features did not work.
No swimming pool (outdoor) despite being advertised on Expedia and all sites.
Room safe did not work and was not bolted
Room heating did not work since there was leakage from balcony door
There was no lobby to walk, mingle since everything was under construction

“They don’t follow any covid protocols no patrons or the staff was wearing masks. they encourage eating in a crowded closed restaurant which was such a disappointment. Please avoid if you care for your health and safety. ”
“I stayed in the hotel for three nights. I got a room on 3rd floor which had an excellent view of snow covered hill which was liked by my family. Room, Bathroom were spacious. The breakfast was good with options like Poha, Upma, pasta, etc.
The only issue I had was that we had to wait for ten minutes to get hot water every time. Overall I recommend the hotel for a quiet stay near Pahalgam.
