The only place to stay in Srinigar
Pros:

I strongly recommend Blooming Dale for your stay in Srinigar. Firdous, the owner, made me feel very welcome and was most gracious in assisting me with local information and arrangements, here and even in my further travels in Kashmir. He gave me useful inside information on Kashmiri travel that you won't find in a guidebook.
Good location and nice clean accommodations.

Pros:

Great hotel for those who prefer to stay on land, rather than in a houseboat. Very close to the main road, many restaurants in the neighbourhood. Great option for those who want to explore Srinagar.
Owner is very welcoming and kind.

Home away from Home
Pros:

Hospitality, never experienced such a warm welcome at any of the hotels I've been to so far. Mr. Firdous was very welcoming right from the point when my booking was confirmed on the app to the last day of my stay at blooming dale. I never felt I was away from home.

Cons:

Some rooms are a bit old, needs to be renovated.

Homey cozy stay in Srinagar 🌹
Pros:

The owner(Firdous) was really helpful. He gave us full of information and provided us with what we needed at a reasonable price. I could reach him anytime through WhatsApp, it also made me feel safe in Srinagar as my first visit.
The staff(Mil and Zoff, sorry for the spelling!) were always available for us and took care of us very well...it made me feel like I was at home!
The facility itself is very well maintained and the room was quite spacious. It's easy access from Gaht no.2 and there are many shops and restaurants within a short distance.
Very homey and comfortable😃😃😃

Cons:

Everything was fine, actually we extended our stay 😌

Legendary Kashmiri hospitality
Pros:

The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The breakfast was gorgeous and plentiful. The garden was a haven for birds and a very peaceful area to relax in. The location was perfect for us walking distance to Dal Lake, shops, markets and restaurants. The local people were super friendly and helpful. The staff at Blooming Dale were incredible, we enjoyed chats with the owner Firdous and his family and Meera( sorry for spelling). They greeted us with Kashmiri tea and cakes a lovely welcome. When we were a little unwell they could not have been kinder or more helpful. Firdous arranged a day trip for us, took us shopping and even invited us to a family wedding!!!! We extended 3 times. Kashmir will stay in our hearts forever and a large reason for that is the people at Blooming Dale

Cons:

Nothing

Excellent feel at Home
Pros:

The hotel is at 2 minutes walk from Ghat No.2 of Dal Lake in Srinagar. We had a stay of 5 days here and felt like stay at our home. Shri. Firdous, owner of the property takes care of the guests like his own family guests. His advices will easily save 1000s of Rs. When one goes out for sightseeing and shopping in Kashmir. He himself arranged for cars for Gulmarg and Sonamarg visit at very nominal price. He himself takes us to the right shop for shopping. The breakfast is very tasty. Staff are very courteous. Yes it's a budget hotel so rooms and views are not luxurious but the care is definitely to the level of 7 star or like a family. Thanks Mr.Firdous and team. Enjoyed the stay.

Home away from home.
Pros:

The proprietor and the staff. Could not have asked for more than a caring and helpful team. From getting my SIM card to arranging for transport, they went all the way. You know you are cared for when he still texted to ask about your well-being when you have left. He even went that extra extra mile to top up my SIM card after I left for fear of me not able to contact home . This is out of his own pocket! A touching gesture.

The location though secluded is a plus for me as it far away from the maddening traffic.

Cons:

Nothing. It is a B and B so do not expect 5 stars amenities.
