Top 10 hotels in Ladakh, India

August 12, 2022 Leida Jutras

Bounded by the Karakoram and Himalayan mountains, Ladhak is the largest province in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The landscape of Ladhak, a high altitude desert, is defined by craggy, barren cliffs and plateaus. Ladhak is a favorite among adventure sports enthusiasts, offering unique adventures in trekking, mountaineering and white water rafting. While rafting options are available on both Indus and Zanskar rivers, the Zanskar course is more difficult and exciting. The trekking options range from short, day-long walks to visit monuments or monastic settlements to long, trans-mountain treks involving weeks of walking and camping in the wilderness. Ladhak celebrates a numbers of monastic festivals - annual events of the major monasteries primarily in winters. The month of September, hosts the Ladhak Festival, that gives a peek into the richness, depth and pageantry of Ladakh's centuries-old culture, traditions and folk heritage. One can witness the best samples of the region's performing arts, Archery contests and the Ladhak Polo Cup.

It’s probably one of the best dining experiences we had during our stay. We were served by Layak and his team who were very hospitable throughout our stay. The place has a vast spread of dining options and is a must visit :)

Pleasing stay at Hotel Nalanda, Leh

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!!!

We visited Leh this month with family (with young children). Location of this hotel is really good, 5 mins from Airport and 10 mins walk from Leh market. 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.

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.

Overhyped and Overvalued

Reviewed By Excursion484808

We were pretty happy that we could get booking in this peak season and paid a hefty amount. UNDERSTAFFED!!! Upon arrival check in took about 90 minutes as the room was not ready by 3:30 pm. There was only one room service staff serving the entire hotel. Nobody was picking up phone at the reception or at room service at around 9:30 pm. Breakfast was below par for the price we paid. 17000 a night so OVERVALUED.
