    I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Samar during my visit to Srinagar. I must say, it was an outstanding experience that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the level of service and attention to detail throughout my stay was truly commendable. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Waseem, the hotel's car driver. His exceptional skills and courteous demeanor left a lasting impression on me. Mr. Waseem went above and beyond to ensure that my transportation needs were met promptly and comfortably. Whether it was picking me up from the airport or taking me to various destinations within the city, he was always punctual, friendly, and a wealth of information about the local attractions.

    I stayed for 5 days at this hotel as a not-young female solo traveller. I got excellent care and service all the way. Owner/manager, Mr Waseem saw to my every need 100%. For a Singapore traveller, to see Chinese food available was a pleasant surprise and it is delish. Car travel and customised tour options can be worked out with Mr Waseem ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜ So great. I'm truly appreciative of his excellent care and service.

    Rooms are very small for 2500 per day. You can barely sit in the bathroom. The whole hotel smells rotten. Never book this even if he gives for free. Food was smelly too. The manager charged us for 2 nights even when we left just after 1 night at this rotten stinky place.

    This Hotel was excellent for a medium budget with Central Heating facility and supportive staff. The owner Mr Faisal Altaf Mir was very friendly and location is very close to Dal Lake and Lal Chowk. My only suggestion for the Hotel is to keep Non Veg food options available as well along with Vegetarian options to accommodate everyone.

    Not a good option during winter. We stayed in the first week of Jan 2022 Pros: Location Good Veg only food Courteous staff Cons: No room service for food. You have to go to their restaurant for food which is quite painful for dinner. Food service is also quite slow. No heater/blower in the room. It must be By default included during winter. A small blower is available at an extra cost of rs. 300 per night which we took. However this should be mentioned upfront OR added in the room cost during winter. Moreover the blower was of not much use as there were electricity cuts as well as blower was quite small for the 3 beds room which we booked. Low price is kind of a bait to book the room and then they charge extra for basic facilities. Hot water only in one tap and that too for limited time. You can't take hot water shower. Only bucket bath. Short on staff as we had to manage most of our luggage ourselves during check in.

    Not very happy with our stay. Room given was tiny with hardly any space to keep luggage or even hang your clothes. Restaurant is veg and service not great. Food is tasty, but oily and with few options. Overall, can be avoided or may be resorted as a last option. Rated one star for cleanliness and thats it.

    Rooms are so small, you can't walk properly, dirty and smells like rotten egg. Condition of room is very bad, bedsheet, linens are dirty. Toilet is so small you will have to struggle to sit on it..... We were forced to pay for 2 days even though we stayed for only one day and checked out on time. These people are just hungry for money, looters. They don't care about customer experience. Don't go for this hotel ever.

    I will give a rating of 9.8/10. At the individual hotel level, hospitality is ' managed ' in order to maintain the decorum and privacy, by the time their service was quick and efficient and the rooms were spacious.

    Nice hotel at a good location. Thanks to Mr. Waseem for guiding us in Kashmir,extremely grateful to him. we had a wonderful stay

    Donโ€™t know why they call it a hotel, itโ€™s a hostel, they donโ€™t provide room service, as they donโ€™t want their bedsheets to be spoiled, even after confirmed booking we were told to reach before 11 PM else they will close the main gate and will not allow entry. I am a working professional and a frequent traveler, have stayed in many hotels from road side small stay facilities to 5 star properties, never have found such out of the world rules. Think multiple times before booking this overpriced roadside stay facility.

    Hotel Samar was a home away from home. It was the base of our Kashmir trip as we covered Srinagar local, Gulmarg and Sonamarg sightseeing. We were provided towels and water everyday and they promptly listened to any requests we had. Highly recommended.

    Jai Mata Di, The temple itself is HEAVEN, but to reach this heaven one has to do bookings online, thru its website. The website is trashiest one can say. Also email the concerned departments, as many times you can, you hardly get any response

    I am writing to let you know how much I appreciate the outstanding customer service that your staff #Mehraj and their manager #Almas has provided. They both have always been very attentive and helpful. Their kind gesture and hospitality has always been beyond satisfaction. I truly feel like a guest and not just a regular customer so hats of to your team. Would definitely recommend friends and family there. Overall, I had a great experience.โ€จโ€จPlease let them as well as the other employees know that their efforts do not go unnoticed. Thank you once again for hiring such excellent staff and hope to see them and interact with them at my every visit. With Warm Regards Samim Akram

    We, $7 persons stayed at Hotel Samar, Sringar for two days. Our stay was very comfortable. All the attendants and staff are very caring. Specially Mr. Wasim accompanied us to various site seeing programmes with his vehicle. He was very careful, responsible and dedicated to his words and work. He has a deep knowledge about Kashmir and guided us throughout the programme. We wish the beauty of Kashmir will always beckon the tourists from various parts of India and they will enjoy the company of Mr Wasim . I wish him all the success.

    I stayed at Hotel Samar during my maiden trip to Kashmir recently. I confirmd my booking at this propoerty after reading reviews on MMT and other sites. Since i was a solo traveller i opoted for the least expensive double bed room on MMT. This is located in the central part of Srinagar at Munwarabad next to Azad Petrol Bunk and i an easy landmark to locate. This property is an hours drive from the airport and is also close proximity to important landmarks such as Dal Lake and Old Srinangar area. Also the property is close to daily conveniences & shopping options which was a big plus. Initially the room did not seem spacious enough. But since i was going to be traveling for most part of the day i did not matter much. The only other criteria for me was the cleanliness of the room, Bed Linen and washroom. On that i was completely satissfied and couldnt have asked for more. I was inofmrmed that they have more spacious rooms to comodate more larger families. I did not check them personally though. Mr altaf the owner and the staff were very polite and hospitable. Something i experienced across Kashmir throughout my stay. The dining area was clean. They only serve vegeterain food at the property which was satissfactory. I stuck to the ususal parathas and fried rice. The tea was good. For other food options, there is plenty on offer at a stones throw from the propoerty based on what i saw. I did not try them though. The owners son, Wasim was a absolute help throughout my stay. He has good knowledge of the landscape both in and outside of Srinangar. He helped me plan my travel and was also able to arange for transport though his good connections. The icing on the cake was when he volunteered to drive in his own car to the Gurez valley with me and also helped with my tent acomodation there. He is a very safe driver and was not rushed or rash at any point. I would highly recomend that you consult him for your travel plans when you visit there. Overall a very satissfying stay at the property for me. Acomodation - Good Cleanliness - Good Hospitality - Excellent Food - Good

    This hotel is not a 3-star hotel. Donโ€™t go by the ratings. The rooms are very congested and services are very poor. Hot water facilities are not available most of the time and staff out there donโ€™t even respond to your queries once you check in. We were misguided by duke travel agents. A whole night we had to spend without the power supply since they do not even have a power backup. The toilets are too congested. Worst experience so far. Note : lift services not available in this hotel so think before you book

  • 1/5 Almas A. 1 year ago on Google
    Rooms are good but the staff is pathetic and not at all supportive.

  • 5/5 Tanisha L. 1 year ago on Google
    By far this is great hotel to stay in Srinagar, and the whole experience has been awesome and joyful. Very cooperative staff, quick at responding to the requests, clean and comfy beds and rooms for the price you pay, budget friendly, value for money. Almas helped us with gondola ride booking and Wasim was very hospital, with great smile and knowledge he is able to impart to visitors of Kashmir. We will always remember the time spent at Hotel Samar, we highly recommend friends and family to stay at this hotel for work/leisure trips.

    Ok hotel , very far from Dal lake, hotel hygiene is not upto the mark

  • 5/5 Zakir D. 1 year ago on Google
    I was on vacation with my family for 6 days in the first week of May and stayed in Samar hotel all days. Service: Personalised service by staff including owner's family members. Very soft spoken and acting even on your small needs. Location: Situated at prime location and centre of the city, 1km from Dal Gate. You will find banks, ATM, veg and non veg food just beside the hotel. Food: Hotel serve only veg food in their dedicated restaurant in the ground floor. Food is delicious and you must try Puri bhaji and Chana puri in the breakfast, you won't think of any other restaurant after that. Other Services: Hotel staff and owner also guide you genuinely for different sites surrounding Srinagar without looking for any personal benefit from you. They will arrange car if you want and also guide you on do's and don'ts of various sites and spots. Overall, if you want to visit Kashmir, Samar hotel is the best option.
