Nothing

Tucked away from the crowd and yet close to the city centre, very peaceful living by the lake, watching the shikaras passing by (almost like living on a houseboat), and hosted by a very attentive owner and staff. They will take care of your every need.

The water pressure in the shower was weak and made it impossible to take a shower.

The hotel is located just on a Dal Lake bank. The owner is very helpful and could prepare you a tasty dinner and give tips about sightseeing. The hotel building is atmosphering and has a terrace with a lake view.

The hotel is by the lake, it has a very relaxing atmosphere, nature is really close. It is an affordable great alternative of the Houseboats. The hotel staff was really helpfull in everything: booked the airport transfer, the sightseeings, even organized to have my laundry done. Food is available and delicious. I really recommend this hotel.

On my last day, I felt really pressured to leave a review and to tip. I don’t mind being asked once but several times, lead me to leave feeling quite frustrated. I would also have appreciated more transparency about meal and boat prices- a price list would be nice.

I had a lovely experience on this houseboat. It’s very well maintained and the beds are very comfortable. It’s on a peaceful lotus lake and I loved listening to the birds and practicing yoga on the deck to the sunset. The family are lovely and could not do more. The food is delicious and prices are reasonable and beautiful Kashmiri tea served all day. Highly recommend.

One of the rooms had lood bed and creaked on changing posture. But they changed my room.

Cleaneliness and behaviour. My first concern in any hotel is cleanliness. this hotel has very clean toilet and bed. The front rooms feel lively and open. One more best aspect is availability of warm water in all taps and faucets

Breakfast is not included though it was very inexpensive. No electric kettle in room so you couldn't enjoy coffee on the terrace for the sunrise.

I only booked one night as I was hoping to find a houseboat for the following days. I did find a houseboat but had I not I would have gladly stayed longer. It was sublimely quiet and loved the lake setting. Great value, I would stay again.

The only thing would be a fan in the bathroom, that would help with the humidity inside. The room fan worked very well and with the doors open it was a quick airing out.

We really enjoyed our stay at Chachoo Palace. It is exactly as described and in the pictures, a simply but comfortable place to unwind by the backwaters of Dal Lake. The whole place was very clean and well looked after and the owner & staff very friendly and supportive the whole way through. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed a delicious breakfast every morning and the creamy Kawa tea on the balcony in the beautiful morning light that was shining through the leafy trees around. It's quickly accessible via Tuk Tuk or even Shikara and a 5-15 min ride gets you to most of the main attractions. It's a fantastic place to leave the sounds of the city behind for a little bit and just kick back and unwind from the excitements around. Would 100% recommend and stay again.

There should be a cupboard for handing or keeping the clothes.

Nice and cosy rooms, but the surrounding environment should be more clean and organized. The hotel staff are nice people.

I like the location and hospitality of the palace. It is situated near the Dal lake and the view is amazing. As a vegetarian I got a pure veg restaurant in front of the hotel. And the rooms are very clean and hygienic.

The building and amenities are quite old and basic. The hotel overlooks the lake, but it's kind of on the back side of the lake so you don't get any view at all (it's blocked by plants).

Good service and location. Rooms are spacious. My room was quiet enough. There was food and water if you needed it, at a fee, and the menu was quite western. I like that there's outdoor and semi-outdoor seating.
