The reason for choosing this location was safety. Its quite close to the State house, hence was safe plus amazing view from the couch. Would like to come back in winters. Can easily spend a day or two just watching the beautiful view from room. Hotel is quite far from main city hence commuting may become a challenge. The tariff is quite high but in Srinagar you don't have many descent options.
The property, the view, the services and the food - One cant get better. I highly recommend staying at Taj. With all rooms having dal view, there's no better experience than staying at a height and staring right down at the lake and the city.
I have always been a great fan of the Taj Hotels. But this property was just priceless. We got into Srinagar with a lot of trepidation and it was all taken away the minute we reached the hotel. The views are stunning. The rooms are stunning. The food is stunning. It's an amazing place to call home and discover Kashmir. Ask for Rahul, who waits and serves you with lots of and Grace. He made our week there great. Ask for Chef Abhishek, for some great Kashmiri delight. Naveen the GM who runs the place has a brilliant bunch of people who make Taj Vivanta the best of the best of all the Taj Hotels. So that goes to say how fabulous this place is. Go to Kashmir . It's beautiful and stay at the Taj.
This Taj property is located on the top of a hill with stunning views of the Srinagar city. Its has beautiful lawns, benches and a swimming pool which helped us relax and unwind. The room was plush and equipped with all amenities. Buffet breakfast spread was good too with a lot of variety on offer. This hotel is a real gem in terms of the location and the views it offers. If you are looking for a beautiful and luxurious stay in the midst of clouds and greenery, this is the place to be!
Worst service and good ever. Four of us took the buffet lunch and everyone was down with severe food poisoning to the extent that one of us had to be admitted to the hospital. Never recommending to eat here. They're probably serving stale food. Ruined the whole vibe of our trip to Srinagar.
Beautifully located on top of a hill with amazing scenery and very helpful friendly staff, from Ameer at checkin to Gowher in room service, they were all incredibly nice and made sure we were comfortable. W had an amazing unforgettable time! The only downside is that breakfast is not included in room rate and food at the Resturant is very expensive.
Well, if you are in Srinagar, this is a must stay property, great great view, on top of the hill, spacious villas, in the lap of nature and luxury, great hotel staff and food...but pricey but worth the experience...
Fantastic is the word. Breathtaking view of the dal from the room balcony. You could sit all day in the balcony looking at the dal. Good food, massive bfast buffet. Very responsive and warm staff. I think it is one highly highly recommended property in Srinagar.
Excellent Hospitality, We will give 7 Star Rating. Recommend to Friends and Relatives. We will visit again in near Future with Daughtes and Grandchildrn. Particulary Staffs at F & B are Excellent in Hospitality. Full credit to Chef for making Food items.
I had room 1242 which was perfect. It was on the second level, with a small private balcony overlooking Dal Lake. There is a bit of obstruction due to tall trees, but it was fine. It is also close to the pool area. Housekeeping is a bit sloppy. The TV was on but no cable reception. A technician had to be called who replaced one of the cables. There was evidence of a safety chain on the door but it was missing. I asked the male receptionist showing me the room a question about dinner and he never got back to me. The room is beautiful and comfortable. The bathroom is large with a separate tub and shower. Both areas are well designed. The hotel restaurant is excellent with both buffet and a la cart service. Waiters are friendly and helpful and remember how you take your coffee from one day to the next. Their infinity pool is gorgeous and the pool attendant very helpful. I had forgotten my swim goggles and he loaned me his. They are adamant about taking a shower before using the pool - and will send you off to the shower room. Security is tight, as is everywhere in Srinagar. I felt very safe at this hotel. I stayed two nights and wished it could have been longer. Even the check-out procedures are easy. Don’t be in a rush as you will be asked to select a nice gift. The Vivanta by Taj is a 5-star property in every sense of the word. I enjoyed my stay and would stay there again.
