We stayed at this hotel in december as snow was settling in in sonamarg. The staff were friendly, let us check in an hour early. And that’s where it started going downhill. It seemed like while they hurried to let us check in early (we did not ask for it, we were okay waiting) they didn’t clean the room (floor was muddy, linen unchanged, no toiletries. They resolved this in bits and pieces through the day because they had only 4 people working in the property. We had only opted for the room, but on the first evening they gave us a full buffet thinking we opted for their meal package (we ordered a main dish and a rice over the intercom, they got us like 5 things, we asked it if this was the set only set dinner that was available, they said yes. They clarified the next morning that we were indeed served dinner that was not inclusive. Honestly speaking, the food was pretty good and the pricing was alright for a buffet, we didn’t have complaints, buuuut this random miscommunication could have been avoided if they just checked our booking (property had only 2-3 rooms occupied. The experience took a turn for the worse when we discovered that there was a rat infestation, the pitter patter of the rats in the room, had us up on our last night there, and of course, had us feeling a little icky. On the last night, they also decided to switch off basic amenities like hot water (which only comes twice a day in the winter) and the central heater, which again, if communicated beforehand we’d be happy to accommodate. When we spoke to the “emergency” night contact, they nonchalantly mentioned that of course hot water and heater facilities would not be provided since we were the only remaining guests at the hotel. All in all, the hotel is possibly alright in the peak summer season (there’s usually more staff, economies of scale so they’d turn on the hot water and heater, but your guess is as good as mine. The two stars is for the view which is impeccable from the property and food that was quite nice actually.
