Overall stay was Okay.
The property is not in prime location, for anyone who is visiting srinagar for the first time.
The zostel Manager is not a cool guy. This zostel was pretty different than other ones.
Overall services and facilities was okay.
Cons :- Apart from basic stuff related to stay, you don't find any bonfire.
There is an entry and exit timing.
I feel cab bookings are expensive if you compare with others.
You really need to be flexible and adjustable having stay here.
I found a lot of people having heated arguments with this Manager.
location is issue of this property. There are long powercut hours in this property.
Pros : You will find a lot of like minded people here.
Good environment.
Conclusion:-
It's far from Main city (Dal Gate). By private Cabs and Auto they will charge you 200-500 just to go for zostel. Apart from Nishant and Shalimar Garden, nothing is in close proximity. You need to take shared taxi to save money. Food options are limited in this area apart from thier own Cafe.
Located in the Nishat-Shalimar district in Srinagar, 5 km from Dal Lake, Kashmir Mahal Resorts boasts air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi throughout the property. Guests can enjoy the on-site restaurant. Free private parking is available on site.

Receptionist mr. Jib-ran was very cooperative. Staff guy named gm was very generous and tahir was always up & ready for a help. In a nutshell, the whole stay was wonderful and i couldn’t find any cons.
A small property tucked away in a quiet lane away from the chaos in the city. Rooms are reasonably comfortable with all amenities including an ironing board and iron hair dryer and electric kettle. However the shower cubicles glass were totally stained and tiles stained. Food in the restaurant has a wide variety and quite tasty
