    The behavior of the staff is very bad and no one listens to you or fulfills your needs, Location of houseboat is good. View from houseboat was great. Rooms were just ok not properly cleaned and blankets were smelly. Food was tasteless. Also power cut at night because of which we faced cold at night. Overall experience was very bad.

    Service far below expectations, much lesser developed parts of Kashmir provide better hospitality. Traditional house boat and shikhara ride experience was the worst in full trip because of the service.

    The houseboat was spacious inside. Service was excellent. Location was fantastic. We went there via shikaras. The weather was calm and it was probably the quietest place in srinagar. It had a constant network connection. During the evening when the sun was setting, the golden yellow flame of the sun lighting upon the waters of the Dal Lake, oh... it was surreal... beautiful experience.... It should be a must visit for every Kashmir itinerary

    Stay in houseboat is life time experience. This is simply awesome. I will never forget this experience. Houseboat is very neat and clean. It is too beautiful from outside and inside as well. Interior tour is shown in the attached video. You can see and admire the beauty of houseboat on ur own. And in the morning you get the mesmerising view of dal lake and the mountains. Whoever visit the srinagar, should must go to the houseboat for stay and have this experience.

    We were booked in New Alexandra House Boats. However, we were taken to a House Boat named Pleasure Palace. When asked, we were told it belongs to the same Group. We felt cheated, as Rooms were OK, but cleanliness was not great. We were told that food will not be served in the Boat House we were living, but we had to go to a common dining area. Dinner was supposed to start at 8.30 PM, but there was no food. After shouting with the staff, food was served at 9.30 PM. Food was BAD. Only two vegetable curries, and bad quality rice. It took another 15 minutes for Rotis to come, by which time we had finished our dinner. Breakfast was equally BAD. They served ready made butter and jam sandwiches, and the Upma and Poha were tasteless. Overall, our experience was BAD, and we felt cheated for the money we paid for our stay.

    A Disappointing Experience at Alexandra Houseboat. The rooms was too hot with no ventilation. Mr Deepak tried his best to provide good service. Opt for Hotels Instead.

    If it's your first time I would suggest to try premium houseboat then the budget one as this is not what house boat on dal lake looks like

    Neatly maintained houseboat. Loved the wood work inside. The rooms had electric blankets and were also heated via a traditional heater which burnt wood and generated heat. Was a unique experience. Breakfast and dinner spread was limited and was of average taste.

    We stayed to get the houseboat experience, but I would not recommend. The boats are deteriorating, especially bathrooms. No facilities like tea in the morning. WIFI did not work the entire time we stayed and the caretaker did not resolve it. Food was ok. It was very hot and suffocating in the rooms during the day. Old woodwork and carving were beautiful but everything else wasn't worth the money.

    Beautiful well appointed house boats, residential boats. Each of the house boats have a common open seating area, common sitting room, may or may not have a TV, a common dining room, kitchen or pantry and bedrooms. Each of the house boat has from 3 to 6 bedroom. The bedrooms are of different capacities and can sleep a couple, triple, quadruple or even more depending on size. Each bedroom has a basic luggage rack, small wardrobe, bedside table, dressing table, chair, TV, etc. Most of the bedrooms are self contained some having bathtub, having 24 hrs hot and cold water facilities. Many bedrooms have individual wood burning heaters. Good quality food is available during meal times. One can get Jain, vegetarian, non vegetarian cuisine including local Kashmiri Wazvan. One needs to inform in advance if there are any special food requirements. Most houseboats don't allow outside shoes inside as they are completely carpeted. Most caretakers will request one to leave outside shoes in the open area near the entrance of the house boat. This group has around 20 house boats.

    The house boat was located at a serene place. The rooms were well maintained n clean including the bathrooms. The staff was very cordial. However the breakfast was not up to mark as they served upma/ bread butter jam. The shikara ride was great.
