I had a really disappointing experience at the hotel. The room we stayed in had serious maintenance issues, and the cleanliness was far from ideal. The location was quite inconvenient, making it tough to get around. On the upside, I did appreciate the friendly staff who tried to assist us as best as they could, but the overall value for money just didn't match the expectations set by the star rating.

Hotel Grand Mahal is a delightful stay in the heart of Srinagar. The staff, led by Mr. Mohammed Mudasir, provides exceptional service, making you feel right at home. The rooms are pristine and comfortable, perfect for relaxing after a day exploring. The dining experience, especially breakfast, was amazing, but I think the Wi-Fi could use some improvement. Overall, it offers excellent value for money and a memorable experience.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, where the reception staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating. The rooms were filled with natural light and had big, comfy beds. However, the location was a bit far from the main attractions, so a lake view was out of reach. The dining was decent but could use more variety, especially for dinner. Overall, it offered great value for money with clean facilities, but the food experience was less impressive.

My stay was quite enjoyable overall. The hotel is well-located near Shalimar Garden, which is a lovely area to explore. The rooms were clean and cozy, providing a comfortable retreat. The staff was very attentive and helpful, although there were some issues with basic facilities during our visit. Dining options were good, with tasty food available, but we encountered some challenges in meeting specific dietary needs. In general, I had a satisfactory experience and would return for another visit.
