“Friendly and Homely Place to Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2011

people found this review helpful

We were group of 9 ppl. We stayed there for 4 days. It's a wonderful guest house, with nice views of Leh.We stayed in one of the mountain view rooms and everything was clean and comfortable.

As for location, It is very close to shanti stupa, a little far from market.

The staff are super friendly, the food is delicious, and the rooms are clean. The food that is served is vegetarian, and it's freshly picked from the garden.The meals can be served inside in the restaurant or outside in the garden.

We had an amazing stay, I would recommend this place to everyone staying in Leh.

“Nice guest house in Leh”

My husband and I spent almost a week at the Oriental and felt very comfortable at this guest house. It is run by a very nice family who are all very helpful. The food is pretty good and most of the vegetables are grown in their own organic garden. They have rooms of varying prices for different pocketbooks with great views of the area. It is right under the Shanti Stupa and about a 10-15 minute walk to town. I highly recommend it.

Room Tip: If you don't mind spending a bit more, the rooms in the more expensive section on the upper floo...

“Very Good and cheap!”

A family run hotel with 3 blocks. Go for B or C. C Block is the best and offer stunning view. Food is vegetarian though. The staff are friendly who are also the owners. Stenzing will do everything for you. Has a good travel desk. A very informal place. A little away from the market place.

“Great place to stay”

Lovely place to stay, the rooms are great, the family running it are lovely. It's clean and well run.

We stayed in the best rooms there, and whilst the stairs where a bit of a killer upon first arriving, I would thoroughly recommend staying here. It's a 10-15 minute walk to town, so it means the place is nice and peaceful.

We arranged jeep trips with them, and they used the union card rate so they are honest. If we go back to Leh, we will stay here again.

“Cozy and amasing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2011

Warm welcome in cold November days. Incredible owners with kind hearts. Helpful stuff who can organize a trip to Pangong Tso - one more unforgettable thing. Amazing Ladakhi food from morning to evening. Travellers from the whole world stay there - and cosy lounge is the best place to chat with them. We spent there about 5 nights, it was beautiful. Although, it was enough cold in our room during the nights - but only good expressions left from this guest-house.

Room Tip: Check the water supply in the room... And find a one with gorgeous view from the window.
