The Chinar Resort & Spa, Pahalgam

It pains me to see how THE CHINAR has abused it's reputation to take advantage of unsuspecting guests. We paid a high price for a rickety property running on it's last gas. It started with the view, which in Kashmir is the most abundantly available. But, in our case the entire view from Chinar is a series of construction sites. Moving on, the kitchen didn't even have basic supplies; our friend's toddlers didn't get the milk, they had beg for it. My wife didn't get the ice-cream. The breakfast wasn't a buffet, and the service was painfully slow, it took us 45 minutes to get normal food on our table, nothing fancy. On the first day itself, I requested the Manager to speak, he plainly refused. While at the same time he was speaking with their staff over phone. Throughout, we just kept on getting more and more disappointments. While right at the start, we had asked for the refund of the advance. Anticipating this as we have a long stay here. They refused. We had no choice. The money was gone. They are running a cheating racket here, in cahoots. Most of the staff acts clueless, sheepish. I am certain The Chinar will be over, if not soon then by the next season. They are trying to fleece as much money as possible before they shut it down. Don't come here. Don't get cheated on. High Rating and Reviews are of a place from past. The current reality is cheating front desk, money fleecing manager, zero hospitality, mismanaged kitchen, no promised view.

The hotel is excellent…very neat and clean..cozy ambience in the harsh winter of Kashmir ..excellent dinner and breakfast ..staff is very much co-operative..special thanks to Umar and all housekeeping team to get us such a lovely and hospitable stay

Great staff comfort food amazing scenic location. Highly professional and friendly staff especially Umer Gull and Azaiz. Must visit and enjoy your stay without hassle free. Buffet system is very good which have both cuisines veg & non veg.

I absolutely loved the hotel and the location. A special thanks to the F&B team for their exceptional food and outstanding hospitality. From the well-maintained rooms to the seamless service, everything was meticulously planned to create a memorable experience. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and outstanding service. Can’t wait to visit again!

The stay and food and services provided by FNB department was excellent and on time we were staying for 2 days and on both the days we got good service and good ambience and warm room to stay we did a right choice of selecting Chinnar resort and spa as our property to stay thankyou.

The stay was awesome. Hospitality superb. FNB department gave us aa god treat. I recommend strongly visiting this place. All the people are so courteous and very friendly too. You will never miss this place on your way towards Pahalgam From Srinagar highway. The valley view is also too good.
