“Staying on a houseboat has undeniable appeal, and its location near the Hazratbal Mosque adds to its cultural cachet. However, travellers should weigh the unique lodging experience against concerns about cleanliness and amenities often found standard in hotels. While some may find charm in the views and Kashmiri tea, others might prefer the reliability of a traditional hotel stay.”
