Well, again it is a tough case. We had a booking in Hotel New Shalimar (click for the pic) but not recommended at all. Some of our co-passengers were really frustrated and shifted to Hotel Paradise at Dal Gate (just opst to our hotel). According to them it was good. No idea about the tariff. And just a tip : don’t shy when you are bargaining in Kashmir. Got the message?

And for Gulmarg during this time of the year, I think you should trust J&K Tourism hotels only. Everything is covered by snow there and it is only Govt. organizations have good supply line. If the road becomes closed for a couple of days due to heavy snowfall shortage of food and other facilities will be a great problem. In this case Govt. hotels are the best. Please try to contact those are mentioned in the given link.
