"Old World Charm on the Lidder River Pahalgam is about a 2hour drive south of Srinagar, and Pahalgam Hotel sits right at the edge of the town’s busy market. Fair warning , the entrance is easy to miss. It’s small and quite discreet, almost hidden against the noise and colour of the bazaar. But step inside, and everything changes. The contrast is immediate and wonderful. Arriving at the Hotel Once you’re through the entrance, the market crowd and noise simply disappear. You’re greeted by a large, beautifully maintained lawn, the sound of the Lidder River nearby, and the calm of a property that has been welcoming guests for over a hundred years. That sense of stepping into a different world is one of the hotel’s best qualities. Rooms and Facilities The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with large washrooms that are a pleasant surprise at this price point. Most rooms look out over the Lidder Valley, and that view is genuinely magical ,the river below, forested slopes all around, and clean mountain light filling the room each morning. The hotel also has built in water heaters in the rooms, which is a practical and much appreciated feature when Pahalgam evenings get cold. The lawn is lovely ,wide, well-kept, and perfect for a quiet evening walk or a morning cup of tea with the valley spread out in front of you. The Food This is where Pahalgam Hotel really shines. The food is excellent, and that’s true across the entire menu. Whether it’s a simple fried egg at breakfast or a tandoori trout at dinner, everything is cooked carefully and tastes just right, not overdone, not under seasoned, just balanced and honest. The Lidder Valley trout is a must try. Fresh, light, and beautifully prepared. For a hotel at this price, the kitchen punches well above its weight. Value for Money This is not a five star luxury property, and it doesn’t pretend to be. What it offers instead is something harder to find ,a hundred year old heritage hotel with a stunning riverside location, comfortable rooms, great food, and warm hospitality, all at a very reasonable price. You leave feeling like you got far more than you paid for. Final Verdict Pahalgam Hotel is one of those rare places that stays with you. Unpretentious, genuine, and beautiful in the most natural way possible. If you’re heading to Pahalgam, this is where you should stay."

"We stayed at this so-called hotel for two days in April 2025, and the experience was nothing short of a disaster. We booked it through MakeMyTrip, which irresponsibly lists it as a 4-star property. Let’s be clear—this place doesn’t even deserve 2 stars, let alone 4. Yes, the rooms were decently clean, but everything else was absolutely pathetic—from the dismal food to the miserable condition of the common areas. Before checking in, we called the hotel to confirm its star rating. Not only did they deny being 4-star, they threw in a vague “A category” label, which is a nonsense excuse for dodging any real classification. When we raised this with MakeMyTrip, they kept pushing the same scripted lie, insisting it’s a 4-star hotel. Shame on both the hotel and MakeMyTrip for this misleading representation. For anyone considering this place, do your own research. A simple Google search reveals the truth—TripAdvisor, which the hotel itself proudly lists as a partner, categorizes it as a 3-star hotel. Yet the hotel staff flat-out denies this too. It’s pure deception and manipulation. To make things worse, the entire premises was under noisy, dusty construction, reeking of enamel and paint. The common toilets were in a disgusting, unusable condition. The food was so bad we had to leave the property and eat elsewhere—at places like ITC Peak and Pine and Hotel Heevan Resort—just to have a decent meal. The only saving grace—and I say this with emphasis—is that the hotel is centrally located in the Pahalgam market area, which fortunately made it easier to survive the nightmare that was their in-house dining. That location is the only thing that kept this experience from being a total write-off. Overall, this was hands down the worst hotel of our entire trip. Avoid it unless you’re willingly signing up for disappointment."

"I recently stayed in this property. I would like to share my experience regarding same. First of all Rates were extremely high.. extremely high for such a property. Food- not at all good. Portion size very small and was not at all edible Breakfast was so bad that my wifes stomach got upset Service - ok. We stayed there for two days First day service was good. After first day it was really bad. No expectations One thing which was good was the location of this property. Overall i would say not worth the money and time"

"Property location is excellent Service is commendable Ajaz, Hydi and Bilal hospitality is worth mentioning Breakfast is better than other Walisons properties Kindly ask the team to maintain this momentum The properties located under the hills of Amarnath and you can worship Lord Shiva from here Jai Bharat🙏🏻"

"not a good experience compared to other hotels we stayed around srinagar. Tips oriented staff and harsh front desk. They seem to be doing some social service to the tourists. Place looks nice in the google, actually old property and poorly maintained."

"We reached the hotel and the staff greeted us. We found the problem in our room. Dirty bedsheets were the least of our problems. They gave us the bathroom which was broken, basically it was leaking and there was water no matter how much we used the wiper. Yes we used wipers to clean their toilets. This is totally on the management as they already knew about the plumbing and still they are ready to give to customers. This hotel should not be associated with a brand like mm t and i would seriously urge mm t to get this hotel delisted. We found one more family there and they were also not happy even when they booked it via management only."
