We had initially stayed at Mascot Houseboat on March 29th and had kept our options open to see where to stay again in Srinagar in a few more days. The outstanding hospitality didn't let us think further and we booked again at Mascot for 2 more nights. Ths staff, rooms & ambience were simply superb and the location on Nigeen Lake was calm & perfect ! I did have the opportunity to meet the owner, Mr. Tu*** who was very helpful with some requests that I had had. I would definitely recommend Mascot Houseboats to my friends and family. Here's an extra bit of info, You can reach Mascot Houseboats by both road and shikara.
