Noor Guest House

Srinagar


Largely rebuilt in 2015, this popular if slightly cramped little backpacker favourite has communal balconies with partial lake views, and helpful extras such as a shared kitchen, laundry service and bicycle rental (₹250 per day). Lower floor rooms are cheaper but darker and noisier.
