BLOOMING DALE

It’s was an excellent experience over here, the owner personally involved with the hospitality, provide guidance about the various places. We stay 3 days here & every day they guide and care for us. In short I can say, I have found a home in Srinagar. Food, rooms & obviously the owner & Kashmiri Kava was really Great. Thanks for making our trip memorable.

An amazing stay, where the owner and truly a spectacular host provided experience, insight and local knowledge that made it more than just a hotel stay. If you value the people as much as the place you visit this is an easy decision when browsing a place to book in Srinagar.

We were serenaded with poetry as we shared experiences and were given a personal visit to heritage sites that were close to our hearts. It always felt like there was true, warmth and appreciation and the place had a love that was a personification of the owners spirit.

Thank you for being part of what makes Jammu and Kashmir a place we will need to spend more time
In the near future.

Many blessings.

We had a lovely stay here. Mr Firdaus and Mr. Mir were excellent hosts and really made sure that everything that we needed was well taken care of. The property is conveniently located very close to the lake, but is also tucked away in an alley way to be away from all the hustle and bustle. Would definitely stay here again whenever we are back.

Mr. Firdaus, our host is a gem of a person. I really liked the hospitality and homeliness of this place. Food was excellent and stay was very comfortable. Location is very close to Dal lake and also to the market. Will stay here the next time I visit Srinagar.

My 7 year old daughter and I made a week long Mother-Daughter trip to Kashmir earlier this year from Australia and we started our trip in Srinagar with a few nights stay at Blooming Dale Cottage. What a fantastic trip and stay!
The accommodation at Blooming Dale was very clean, comfortable and safe and we would gladly stay there again. Mr Firdous was a wonderful host - he looked after us very well, organised a sim card for my phone (international sim cards don't work in Kashmir) which was a HUGE (seriously invaluable) help, made sure we were comfortable with everything, and just overall looked after us extremely well. And Mir Bhai! What a truly lovely gentleman - he looked after my daughter and I so well, cooking for us late in the evening when we were too tired to head out for dinner, cooking delicious breakfasts every morning and just very genuine in his desire to help. Thankyou to you both!
The location of the hotel is also perfect - just a 2 minute stroll from Dal Lake and 2 minutes from some great places to eat.
We'll definitely back to Srinagar with the rest of the family and no doubt this is where we'll stay again!

We stayed for a week at Blooming Dale. Firstly, the location is very well placed which is just couple of minutes walk from Dal Lake. Once you enter Blooming Dale, it is a very calm and cozy place. You are greeted with authentic kashmiri kahwa and cookies which were delicious. The rooms are clean, neat and tidy with all basic amenities. The owner Firdous Saab is truly a gem of a person. He is one of the nicest person I have ever met. He puts humanity ahead of his business which is pretty rare to find in the current scenario. He planned our entire trip right from pick up from the airport, sightseeing and drop back to the airport. We were privileged to go on a local sightseeing with Firdous Saab. He is a perfect guide, very informative and an amazing ghazal singer.
Now coming to his sidekick (caretaker) Mr. Mir who is always smiling and is an amazing cook. The delicacies he made during our stay was mouthwatering.
A stay in Blooming Dale gives you a glimpse into what genuine kashmiri hospitality is all about.
The care,warmth and hospitality at this place is outstanding.
Thank you Firdous Saab and Team for a wonderful trip.
Looking forward to visit again.

It was a nice experience especially the owner Ferdous vai made us home like feeling.
The room was so neat and clean, decoration was also nice.
The Chef Mir Vai was awesome person.
The location is just opposite of Dal Lake Ghat no 2.
It is one of the best premium hotel within reasonable price.
We love the hotel.

Mr Firdous and Mir Bhai both made us feel comfortable and at home. The location is at a walkable distance to Dal lake and also near to major tourist attractions and the market. Also, the stay and the area is all safe to roam around with good places to eat in reach.
