Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. On one hand, the owner seemed like a genuinely nice person, and the garden was beautifully kept. On the downside, the access to the hotel was a hassle, requiring a long walk from the main road, and the noise from the nearby mosque made it hard to enjoy a peaceful sleep. The hotel has potential, but there are definitely areas that need improvement in customer service and logistics.
Staying at Akbar Hotel was an outstanding experience! The atmosphere around Dal Lake is cozy, especially in the evenings, and the hospitality is top-notch. I loved the delicious food and the beautiful views after snowfall. However, I would appreciate a bit more variety in the breakfast menu. Overall, it’s a great place at a reasonable price.
My stay at Hotel Akbar was truly memorable, with a cozy atmosphere that made me feel right at home in Kashmir. I loved how attentive the staff were, especially Mr. Dawood, who ensured every need was met. However, the receptionist's rude behavior was a downside, and it was a bit inconvenient walking to the hotel from the main road. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with great hospitality and lovely gardens.
Hotel Akbar has a lovely garden and the owner is genuinely nice, but I had an unpleasant experience with the rude receptionist. While the location is convenient to a masjid, it can be noisy early in the morning due to the Azaan. The access is quite challenging as it requires a long walk through narrow lanes. Overall, my experience was a mixed bag with some positives and a few clear downsides.
My stay at Hotel Akbar had its ups and downs. The location is absolutely beautiful, but reaching the hotel requires a challenging walk through narrow market streets. The service was hit-or-miss; while some staff were wonderful, I had a frustrating experience with the receptionist. Overall, I found it to be a decent place with some great experiences overshadowed by accessibility issues.
I had a fantastic experience at Hotel Akbar, enjoying their great hospitality and good food. The stay included an amazing holiday package that covered visits to beautiful locations. However, getting to the hotel can be a bit of a hassle due to the access route, and the morning Azaan from the nearby mosque can be quite loud even if I respect the tradition. Overall, I’d say it’s a great value for money if you’re looking for a unique experience in Srinagar.
I had a mixed experience at Hotel Akbar. While the owner and restaurant staff were really pleasant and the garden was beautiful, my welcome at the reception was unfortunately marred by unprofessional behavior. The location requires some effort to get to, with steep stairs. Despite that, overall, it was a memorable stay with warm hospitality and great food.
I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Akbar, with superb hospitality and great amenities. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the food was both delicious and plentiful. The location offered stunning views, especially after snowfall, though it would have been nice to have a bit more variety in the menu. Overall, an excellent experience with a few minor areas for improvement.
