Pleasing stay at Hotel Nalanda, Leh

Reviewed By 9411sid

Had a very comfortable stay at Hotel Nalanda, Leh. The location, rooms, washrooms, room service & restaurant..all is nice! Mr.Stanzin who manages the Hotel (also happens to be the Owner) is extremely supportive and always accessible in case of anything. He planned our trip to Nubra Valley, Tso Moriri and Pangong in a way which helped us to acclimatize well and as such our group of three families had no health issues..whatsoever! He even assisted us courier the extra baggage to our home locations! Sincerely appreciate his gestures!! Also appreciate the prompt services of Mr. Arvind who manages the Hotel front desk. He too is supportive and quite prompt. Strongly recommend Hotel Nalanda for a enjoyable and stress-free vacation while in Leh!!!

Good, pricing could be better

Reviewed By Yam0784

We stayed here for 2 nights in the family room which was comfortable and cosy. One could see the snow laden mountains from the window on one side and lidder river on the other. Meals were provided and food was homely. The garden was super pretty. A big shoutout to the owner Mr Ibrahim who is friendly and ever-smiling. Personally, I feel the price of the rooms could be cheaper as the lodge is far from the main market. In general, Pahalgam taxi drivers try to fleece tourists which is quite annoying. An advice would be to go to Pahalgam from Srinagar on a prepaid taxi and not hire a taxi for the entire trip. Only local taxis are allowed in Pahalgam, so the other taxi is an absolute waste. Unfortunately, taxi drivers aren't helpful. I am hoping no one gets a rude taxi driver like we did. That was a big letdown of our trip.

Food was good. staff was also good. 4th floor suit has a very good view. on first day,Rooms were neat and clean. Only negative point is, they gave us the room key without cleaning it, when we came back from Pangong.

Bad Experience. Poor condition of hotel room. Untrained hotel staff.

Reviewed By LathaRaina

We booked 2 nights stay in Hotel Nature Residency in Leh for 28th & 29th May. The booking was done via goibibo and the full payment of 16400/- was paid before our arrival for River and Mountain facing Suite. The overall experience of our stay was unpleasant and disappointing. Here is the sequence of events that impacted our experience along with photos of the property: 1) We changed our checkin dates to 26th & 27th May. We were comitted Premium Deluxe room on 26th and River and Mountain facing suite on 27th May. 2) On arrival, the front desk helped us with immediate checkin to room no. 403, without any ID verification. The same was noticed for other guests who were checking in after us. 3) The room condition was below standard. The door knob of the main door was damaged. The wall plaster was chipped. Bathroom tiles were cracked and sealed with putty. 4) The so called River view room had windows opening to stagnant and muddy water body besides the hotel property. 5) There was no hot water in the bathroom for the first 2 hrs of our arrival. The same complaint was heard from other guest in the hotel. It was fixed after several escalation to the front desk. 6) Since the hotel intercom was not working, we went to the dinning area to order dinner. The dinner menu was very limited since the hotel was encouraging buffet over individual orders. 7) The kitchen staff denied to provide room service. Upon escalation to their Manager, the dinner was delivered to the room. 8) The food quality was below standard. Even basic snack like French fries were not edible. 9) The Manager on duty reported to our room to understand our concerns. He witnessed the torn bedspread and committed to get it replaced however it was not done. 10) Out of frustration, we decided to check-out on 27th May. The hotel didn't issue any refund and asked us to contact goibibo. 11) Breakfast was included in our room package however on 27th May the staff in the dinning area objected to our meal, assuming that the breakfast was not included in our room payment. 12) Upon enquiry about the room rates, it was told to us by the hotel manager that rate for Suite Rs. 6000/- per night however goibibo charged us Rs.8000/- per night. Overall, the hotel staffs running the business as a homestay. Every staff was operating on their own without supervision or awareness about the guests.

New Sea Palace Houseboats

Dear traveler, we feel pleasure to present New Sea Palace Houseboats as a guide to many activities and tours that we offer in the valley of Kashmir and Ladakh (Little Tibet). Since 1925, this firm has been in the houseboat business, arranging numerous activities and has a very wide experience in guiding tourists safely as professionals. Kashmir's greatest attraction is the houseboat: life on the houseboat offers you homely atmosphere, modern amenities and your very own staff to cook delicious meals for you. Vendors glide past in shikaras offering a floating market of fruits and flowers and experience not to be missed. The New Sea Palace Houseboats are moored on the serene Golden Dal Lake abashed with Flower Gardens, 5 kms from Srinagar, the summer capital of Kashmir and 17 kms from the airport. We look forward to welcoming you with the garlands of long living flowers. Your host Mr Ali Mohammad Kashmir, the mental offspring of sage KASHYAPA has been extolled for his bewitching exuberance of the prowess of nature from time immemorial. NILAMAT PORANA, the most ancient extant chronicle of Kashmir, praises it as the land, "Wearing the springs, ponds and mountains bestow virtue." KALHANA calls it The abode of "learning, Palacial House, Saffron Fields, icy waters and grapes." His compatriot BILHANA pays glorious compliment to his own birthplace, the saffron and poetic talents are the progeny of the same mother that is Kashmir. In Persian lore it has been equated with "Paradise on Earth." Such lavish eulogies don't seem exaggeratedly unfounded when the physical eye is irresistibly arrested by lofty snowcapped virgin peaks, evergreen meadows embroidered with rainbow hued flora, majestic Chinars defying onslaughts of time, bubbling brooks with child like un-artificiality and sylvan expenses reverberating voice of silence.

Excellent place in all aspects. Highly recommended

Reviewed By Krishasuji

The New Sea Palace is an excellent place to stay - Very well maintained and huge spacious rooms which were well furnished. - The people onboard were nice. The way the speak to us and their punctuality is well appreciated. - The food was also good. Home cooked and delicious food. - All the rooms has beautiful walnut furniture, giving it a royal look. - All all house boats, excellent view and there is always a people selling ware on the boats. - Lighting could be better but I think its the culture there to have such lights. Highly recommended.

Comfortable stay

Gulzaar ji , and his son Nasir, manage this homestay . They go out of their way to help their guests. I got good advice on Old Kashmir must visit points . I am an ardent admirer of Indian art and craft and wanted to pick specific papier mache pieces. He personally accompanied me to one such shop and needless to say, I shopped to my heart's content. He also helped me source authentic Kashmir almonds . Another noble gesture that I want to highlight is that they accommodated our request for specific food as my mother was fasting on that particular day. Our stay here was pleasant. Do not expect hotel level facilities as it is a home stay.  But do expect friendly, homely atmosphere and a comfortable stay. Not to forget, vegetarian dinner served here is delicious. Also , do have a look at  Gulzaar ji 's collection of beautiful Kani pieces .  A big thumbs up!
