Our stay at the hotel was a pleasant surprise! While the property is older and could use some maintenance here and there, the rustic charm and beautiful Kashmiri handicrafts truly made it special. The staff went above and beyond in taking care of us, especially considering we were traveling with a young child. The safety and hygiene standards were impressive, given its location in a well-guarded area. However, it’s important to note that the amenities could be more modern and the food options were just decent.
