The property is situated 12 km from Hazratbal Mosque, 13 km from Pari Mahal and 6.5 km from Roza Bal Shrine. The hostel also features free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. If you’re ever planning a trip to Srinagar, John’s Home Stay is an absolute gem that I highly recommend for families. Our stay there was nothing short of amazing, and much of the credit goes to the incredible hospitality of John Uncle and his son, Ali. From the moment we arrived, John Uncle’s warm and welcoming demeanor made us feel right at home. He went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and stress-free. Ali, his son, is equally amazing. He’s also an expert when it comes to planning tours across Jammu & Kashmir. He took the time to help us craft an itinerary that balanced famous spots with hidden gems, ensuring we could experience the true essence of the region on our next trip and the current one was on a no plan basis. He also provides a bike rental service (a great way to explore Srinagar and beyond!). Their genuine care and effort in making our trip memorable stood out throughout. From thoughtful recommendations on must-visit places to helping us with logistics, they truly made us feel like family. If you’re considering visiting J&K, staying at John’s Home Stay will make your journey even more special. 1. Amazing Hosts 2. Very afforfable rates 2. Clean neat and Spacious rooms 3. Supporting with Reliable cars rentals 4. Full time hot water supply and heated beds 5. Break fast on demand - Good Tasty and in Budget. 6. The beautify and friendly Persian Cat

Set in Jammu and with Jammu Tawi Station reachable within 15 km, Backpackers Station offers a garden, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a shared lounge. Each room has a balcony.

At the hostel, the rooms are equipped with a terrace. The premises are clean, organised, well-equipped and ventilated along with a WiFi. The hosts are warm and responsive. They are fairly receptive and are constantly upgrading their facilities on the basis of feedback and otherwise. The manager/caretaker Bhupinder uncle is a delightful person, helpful and reasonably flexible. They offer help in navigation to the hostel and elsewhere if the need be. There's a budget restaurant right there. The spacious lounge area and garden adds to the experience. Kudos to Ashish (owner) for conceiving and knitting it all together. All in all, it's a pleasant experience worth revisiting.

Zostel Pahalgam in Pahalgām provides adults-only accommodation with a garden and a shared lounge. There is a restaurant serving Indian cuisine, and free private parking is available.

Featuring a private bathroom with a shower, rooms at the hostel also feature free WiFi, while some rooms are fitted with a balcony. Zostel Pahalgām is one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at—not just for the place itself, but also for the amazing people, delicious food, ideal location, and overall vibe. It felt like home from the moment I arrived. I had only planned to stay for a night, but I ended up extending my stay because it was so wonderful. As a solo traveler, I’ve had my share of not-so-great experiences, but this was the exact opposite. Bashrat and Monika were the sweetest hosts you could ask for. Khursheed bhai, Faizan bhai, and everyone else were always there to help with anything I needed. And Danish bhai’s food? Incredible—he makes the best poha! I also got to meet some amazing people and build great connections. The view from the hostel is stunning, too. Everything about this place was just perfect!
