OYO 23241 Hollywood Group Of Houseboats - Hotel in Srinagar - Srinagar, India

Food is being prepared by local people but this hotel people informed that food is being prepared by cook..Very low services for heater.water smells bad in washroom n in basin.One of the most uncomfortable hotel stay of my journey ..unwanted salesman arrived in our booked room without prior intimation..

This place is located right on the banks of Lake Dal and the view is breathtaking. The lake looks very beautiful during sunrise and sunset. The lighting at night is also very beautiful. We had booked our trip through thrillophilia and we had chosen New Sea Palace which is a part of Hollywood group but we were given Young Hollywood hotel boat as the owner mentioned that he wanted to give us a private space. The new sea palace definitely looked much better than the houseboat we stayed in. Mr.Aadil was courteous and he was very kind. The rooms were spacious and clean but we had to face powercut issues quite a few times during our stay. This is a problem especially when it is freezing cold and the electric blankets don't work well. The breakfast and dinner served were ok and not that great. We found a strand of hair in our food but the owner apologised for it. Aside from his kind and hospitable behaviour, we did not like the fact where sellers were constantly getting in trying to sell their stuff. People go there for leisure and such interventions affecting the privacy of the guest is not acceptable. We had checked in only at 6pm and we were kept busy by the sellers till 8:30pm and it was quite annoying. Special mention to Aadil for his honest gesture where we had left our wallet unknowingly and he was honest enough to let us know that we have missed it. Definitely a 5 star for that gesture. The boats can be improved a bit especially when it comes to bathroom where we did not get hot water and we had to go to different houseboat to bath. The water had a stinking smell there. Keep in mind the above points before you book a stay here.

NEVER NEVER Select this travel agent. ( Mr ISFAQ) Don't go by Google reviews. It is not 100% authentic. We four families had horrible experience with this houseboat. 1. Dal lake house boat manager ( Me. Isfaq - Hollywood house boat) threatened us to throw out luggage in dal Lake while asked for proper facilities. 2. Didn't arrange separate Shikara even though we were 12 people. They put everyone in single boat with lesser capacity. 3. Shikara didn't come on time and we were on verge of missing early morning flight. 4 didn't provide breakfast on time so we had to leave for airport without breakfast. NEVER EVER TRY YOUR LUCK. DON'T GO BY 5 STAR REVIEWS. IT IS NOT CORRECT

The hospitality, food, rooms, everything is top notch. The owners are very polite and treat you like a family. The rooms are very spacious and beds are provided with electric blanket too. The interiors and woodwork is so pretty, got full kashmiri feels. I can write a lot about the beauty of this place. It's like a home away from home. Totally worth every penny. My stay has been really amazing.

The experience was awesome . The property was very good , clean and comfortable. The room was big , clean . The bed was small and hot water was not available. The dinner was very very costly and they charge shikara charge to come and leave from the houseboat.

The host Mr.Aadil was very good to us. They catered every need of us. They made us everything available at right time. And home cooked food was also a delicacy. Will always remember the experience.

Lock your rooms otherwise your things will be missing. Owner is awsome man but cleaners will take your stuff while cleaning. I lost my powerbank and Bluetooth speaker there. Can't do anything. The owner is a good man and great cook.

Excellent stay. Awesome hospitality by Mr Aadil. Aadil helped us a lot during our stay. Nice location. Best houseboat in dal lake. Amazing food just like home. Affordable cost. I stayed for two days but wanted more..next time I will come again for sure ....loved the arrangements
