Hotel Chachoo Palace

Wow, much more that I could expect during my 20 days stay in Srinagar! This is by far one of the best stay you can find on the shore of Dal Lake. A great charming and peaceful place with beautiful people, owned by Manzoor, friendly and very helpful, he made me feel at home. Very clean place and spacious rooms, comfortable bed, scenic view from the balcony with birds singing, good food, free wifi, safe parking for my motorbike and budget price. No doubt, I'll be back soon. I definitively recommend this wonderful place to anyone who wants to visit Srinagar.

A beautiful quite spot near the lake With two wonderful people looking upto it I travelled solo They looked upto me like there own family The Rooms are absolute neat and clean Wahsroom absolutely Clean The food is wonderful home cooked Both the chachoo brothers are well versed with having guests from all over the globe They advised and helped me explore Kashmir as best as possible

I was in Srinagar during curfew and even though I was aware of that, my arrival at the airport was really intense. Local security guards were asking me what the hell was I doing there and if I didn't saw the news. The tone immediately changed when, from all the required form filling, they understood where I was staying. They quickly reassured me they were good people and would take good care of me. This is because not only Chachoo Palace is located in a safe zone, but because it's a very old respected simple local hotel. You should know when booking that while the surrounding are beautiful and calm, the hotel is very simple BUT if you can look past that (and the mosquitoes) it's an amazing place to stay with stunning views. The hosts were wonderful to me, and while everything they arranged, food, airport pickup and shikara rides were probably a bit overpriced comparing to what you could arrange at other places, it was always worth it. The food was amazing, specially the tea and the kashmiri bread they serve. The shikara rides were personalized to the places I wanted to visit like the dal lake backwaters and the floating vegetable market. I also have to praise the time they spent before I arrived, keeping me up to date with the current situation in Srinagar (they always emailed me back quickly and always accurately so I would trust them if I was ever unsure if it was a safe time to visit Srinagar), and while I was there they took me to an ATM, and gave me a small tour of the unrestricted parts of the town before I left - free of charge. This is a beautiful family Hotel, run by simple trustworthy people, I would not hesitate in staying there again and I highly recommend to everyone.

Stayed with them for eight nights, a nice cosy stay,great location, humble and mannered people who run this place,Mansoor & Family. Special mention to Ubaid,who was just a call away.. Will recommend to anyone who has plans to stay long in Srinagar.

The place was quite neat and clean. Nice view infront of the hotel. Overall a good option to stay at reasonable price.

We stayed here as a group of 4 friends. The rooms were spacious, warm and super comfortable. Hot water is available 24*7. Beds are quite big and the staff were really friendly. The best part is the view of the lake and the balcony outside the rooms. 100% would recommend ch-achoo palace to everyone visiting srinagar!
