Houseboat in a good area

We stayed in one of the houseboats of crown of india group for 2 nights. The houseboat is located near ghat 8 of dal lake and is nearby many restaurants and shops. Transfer to and from the houseboat whenever needed was arranged on demand by shikara free of cost. The stay was pleasant with well maintained, clean rooms. The bathroom even had a bathtub and hot water available round the clock. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Suggestions: if you are staying one day stay is sufficient for experiencing the houseboat ambience. Your access to the main road is limited due to dependency on shikaras for transfer to and from the houseboat. The rooms themselves do not offer any great view of the dal lake, though the front entrance had a sitting area facing the lake. We could not sit there peacefully for long due to vendors constantly entering the houseboat and trying to sell you stuff. I felt that the sitting area for tourists should be secluded so that they could peacefully enjoy the view of the lake. But it was a nice getting to experience staying in the houseboat with vintage kashmiri decor. Also my advice for travellers would be to always get a shikara ride from the ghat where rates are cheaper. The one arranged from the houseboat was way too expensive and since it was our first day we didn't negotiate too much and overpaid. Whenever a vendor approaches you during the shikara ride ask for price of the items first since they try to sell stuff for exorbitant prices. We were forced to pay 300 rs for a kahwa and a glass of hot chocolate since we made the mistake of not asking the price beforehand.

Rooms are quite nice, neat and clean. Staff is also very nice and helpful.

What stood out most was their ability to anticipate our needs without being intrusive, making us feel both attended to and relaxed.

Rated 3.0 by sandeep gahlain . Family Traveller . Jun 19, 2019

We were given the small rooms in the old house boat on rear side in place of Crown of India for which our booking was. The boat was old one and ill maintained as compared to Original Crown of India. Very less lighting, no proper socket for mobile charging except one at height of 7-8 fit with no provision to keep the mobile. No Wi-Fi facility
