Upon arriving in Pahalgam from Srinagar, we were bombarded by lowlifes selling us "pony rides." Thinking that this might be a fun way to see this beautiful area, we acquiesced to a "ride" for 5000 rupis for two people for 6 locations, unlimited time. The locations on the poster looked nice. We mounted our sad looking ponies and were led up a road through a sad, impoverished, trash-strewn village, apparently one of the sites. Finally leaving the road, our tired ponies struggled up the rocky garbage strewn path to our next "location," another trashy location called a Tourist Cafe. While we waited for our tea, we were bombarded by the bird guy, who put doves on me, hoping for a photo and cash, the pashmina guy, selling low quality scarves, and some other guys who were just annoying. Then we were led up the trash-strewn trail to a "waterfall." Something akin to a stream with some small cascades, but not a waterfall by any means. There was another "cafe" and trash everywhere. If you're a tea house owner, wouldn't you keep your place clean? It was disgusting. We climbed on the rocks to try for a peaceful moment ***** the stream, but within seconds, the pet-my-bunny guy came by, as well as the guys "volunteers" to take our photos. At this point, we agreed that I was sick and needed to return immediately. This was only one hour in of our tedious tour. The pony whipper, aka guide, initially refused to take us back, but with some serious nausea, I convinced him to return us. Upon our return, we had to deal with the scumbags who refused to honor their "if you don't like it, don't pay" offer. Since we had already paid half up front, we felt no obligation to give them any more money. Then the escalation of harassment commenced. We pointed out that posted the two hour rate was less than we'd already paid, and the ad turned to walk away. They followed us for a while.

I travelled with my family after a long time. I always stay at Royal Hillton whenever I'm at Pahalgam. The hospitality here is simply out of the world, be it the awesome lawns facing Lidder river or the rose garden on the west side of the hotel. The people are amazing, food is simply delicious. No matter what time you enter the restaurant everyone is ready to welcome you. My kids loved pasta in white sauce and chicken roganjosh the most. The only issue we faced here was humid temperature as the A/C is still not in place.

During my recent visit, I was captivated by the hotel’s stunning location and impeccable service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to fellow travelers.Do visit kashmir.

The staff of the hotel seems to be least interested in entertaining any customer .. Moreover the pictures they have of the rooms and bathrooms is misleading .The overall experience was worst than pathetic. The staff was not cooperative at all

We recently stayed at the hotel for 2 nights during our recent Kashmir trip. The hotel is beautifully located between the mountains with picturesque surroundings. It’s close to the market and can get pony ride right outside the hotel. They served delicious breakfast and dinner with multiple vegetarian options. The staff is friendly and polite. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and recommend them
