GGuest UserThe location was kind of convenient but then again, to what?
The service was friendly, proficient and professional.
I spilled a beverage on the bathroom floor so I used some tissues to wipe it off, lo and behold the tissues turned black. I was gobsmacked. Similar situation occurred in the living area with identical results. So needless to say hygiene is not of primary importance. Also when closed the toilet seat, the rear of the cover was stained with, I would imagine, urine.
The Kitchen: The Chef and the maitre de saved the day as the dinner was of a very high standard, Congratulations guys, well done 👏 ✔️
LLoneThe Orchard Retreat & Spa is a serene and delightful escape, perfect for those seeking peace and relaxation. The staff is exceptionally welcoming, and the food is excellent, with delicious Kashmiri and international dishes. The lush surroundings, luxurious amenities, and warm hospitality make it an ideal spot for a quiet, rejuvenating stay. Highly recommended!
GGuest UserThe owner mr. Ibrahim was kind enough to send his personnel mr. Ashraf to ghat no. 12 to pick up us. We checked into our room without any verification and documents. He took the order for 2 home made lunches. Rice was well cooked and soft. Dal and chicken curry were not spicy they were tasty and went well with chapatis and rice. After lunch we watched wimbledon tennis for some time. They served khava. Kashmiri special tea. We went to boulevard road using their small boat. We had our dinner in a hotel outside. Came back and sat in the front, looking at the dal lake with lights. We had a sound sleep. They served us a sumptuous bread toast, omelette with tea. We checked out 9 am. It was a memorable and enjoyable stay. There were no mosquitoes. There was no music and disturbance. There was hot water available 24x7.
GGuest UserA 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
