Nicest hotel we stayed in the Himalayan mountains. Good view, good food, great hospitality from the manager. Meals never fail to surprise us and probably also the best food we had on the mountains. Basic amenities provided.
Horrible place. In spite of booking in advance we got such terrible rooms. We had booked 4 rooms and they gave us 2 rooms on the ground level and 2 rooms on 1st floor. The place was so dirty and the stench of the garbage and toilets made it difficult for us to even breathe and the owner of the place RANA was very rude and arrogant. My advice to fellow travellers please stay away from this place even if the location seems convenient.
Location is the only usp of this hotel as it is just 100 meters away from the Old Monastery. Although there are several other homestays and guesthouses near the monastery but their access is through narrow lanes.
Rooms are too basic to be comfortable with smelly and apparently dirty linens.
Millennium guest house run by the monastery itself seems to be better option.
The hotel is run by Vaneet Rana who is a disgrace to hotel industry & hoteliers in Spiti Valley. In spite of prior confirmation, payment & booking, when we reached the hotel the hotel owner rejected to accommodate us as he had accepted on the spot booking at a higher price than what we paid. Tabo is a kind of place which is quite remote & there are very less hotels there. The owner instead started suggesting us other hotels where we can go & make the fresh booking. He didn't even refund our booking amount.
Try booking hotels such as Trojan, Hotel Siddharth & Dawachen Retreat etc. as this hotel can reject your confirmed booking anytime for their profits.
I am sure the two positve reviews are also fakely written by hotel staff itself.
The rooms are spacious and all the amenities are there considering the remoteness of the place.
The food is very good and they make excellent soups. Thukpa (Spiti version of Soup and noodles) is a must try. Stones throw from the ancient Tabo monastery.
A good place to rest your weary self at the end of the long drive.
The hotel is in Tabo Village, which is in a bowl-shaped flat valley, and a stone's throw from the Tabo Chos-Khor Monastery. The rooms are spacious with basic amenities and clean and well-maintained. The manager and staff are very polite and considerate. Their hospitality was very warm and made our stay worthwhile. I can't thank them enough for their hearty welcome and care. The taste of the food was top-notch and while our stomachs were full we continued to eat out of greed. Also noteworthy of mention, is the dining area for its tasteful decor. It has floor seating with mattresses covered with colourful upholstery which brightens the room. The food and cutlery is laid/served on low tables enabling an ergonomic posture for eating.
I'd stay at this place when I am at Tabo next and have been recommending to others planning a visit.
