Guest Experiences

"I came on a photography tour. The hotel team arranged reliable local union ponies and guides for Thajiwas Glacier. Wi-Fi and 24/7 power backup worked seamlessly even when mobile towers failed in the valley."

"As a pure vegetarian family with elderly parents, we loved the food here. The kitchen prepared fresh Jain-friendly meals, hot parathas, and dal tadka on request. Highly recommend their dining hospitality!"

"Outstanding hospitality by Haji Habib and the front desk team. When our flight out of Srinagar was delayed due to weather, they helped us extend our stay seamlessly and organized reliable transport."

"Clean bathrooms with continuous hot water 24/7, which is rare in high-altitude mountain hotels. The room heating was effective and kept us cozy even during sudden evening rain showers."

"Hotel Akbar is iconic in Sonmarg for a reason. Great parking facilities, peaceful garden seating, and quick room service. The glacier view from room #204 is worth every rupee."

"The restaurant caters wonderfully to both vegetarian and non-vegetarian guests. The rich vegetarian thalis, fresh Kashmiri paneer gravies, and fragrant saffron kehwa were highlights of our stay."

"Spacious family suite with ample luggage room and interconnected bedrooms. The children enjoyed playing in the scenic rose garden while we drank hot Kashmiri Kehwa outdoors."

"First time visiting Kashmir. Hotel Akbar made us feel right at home. Exceptional warmth, prompt room service, and crystal clear glacier mountain views right outside the window."

"Great location next to Sindh river. Rooms were clean and very warm. Power generator backup kicked in immediately when local electricity fluctuated in the valley."

"Spacious rooms with excellent central heating. Electric blankets kept us warm throughout cold nights. View of Sindh river from room window was mesmerizing."
