Akbar - Srinagar

I visited the place in the high season. The hotel is very spacious. Location is located in the center of the city. The owner is an excellent guy and always available. The staff is friendly and ready to use. Room spacious and well lit. Some of the rooms in the accommodation are old and not to the standard of the hotel, so you have a view of the rooms first before booking. Garden is well maintained. All excursions can be booked by the hotel itself. Overall a very good experience. Very recommended for a budget of 4-5K per night.

Great location right in front of Dal Lake and good facilities at the hotel, but the best part is shown the hospitality of Zaffer, Dawood, Sadiq and staff. We feel very welcome and happy and treat ourselves like family. Organized everything for us in Srinagar and made the experience great. Thank you for everything, would definitely recommend Hotel Akbar!

I would like to thank Zaffer Sahab, Dawood Bhai and Sadiq Bhai for their kind hospitality. Our stay at Hotel Akbar was a second home, all our requirements were treated with extreme care. Special thanks to Sadiq for providing personal car and emergency efforts. We still renovate the taste of wonderful kabababs made at home for us. We experienced different seasons in these 10 days, had a great experience that would not have been possible without the generous efforts of the entire team. The rider Abid was a wonderful guide for us, he offered all kinds of support that was required. Last but not least, Zubair and Musharraf at the Hotel Akbar, Fayaz at the houseboat were great hosts to offer food and take special care. The hotel in Sonamarg was also a wonderful experience. We would definitely visit Kashmir again inshallah!!

Returned today after a full week stay in Srinagar in Hotel Akbar....what a location...beautiful view...most hospitable Zaffer sahib , Dawood bhai and all other staff ,including kitchen staff ,housekeeping staff were so polite and helpful and courteous...clean rooms, toilets etc...hope to visit Kashmir in the future and stay there again and hope to get a stay in their houseboat also...thanks to all of them for making our stay memorable...
