It was nice enough but in room dining was terrible!
Pros:

The bonfire in the evening was wonderful!

Cons:

The food was not good. The staff weren’t very professional. Not worth the cost of room.

Good Hotel
Pros:

The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. Ambience of the hotel was good. Breakfast spread had variety for all tastes. Location of hotel is not far from airport and they arranged cab for airport transfer on chargeable basis. Though lunch and dinner were not so tasty but overall I liked the hotel.

The best place to connect with the universe... and with the goodness of people
Pros:

Passion... Of the owner Gulam Mustafa saheb... To offer the best... And a family (I understand that his daughter is a doctor) which takes care of his people!

And his passion shows up in his portraits and paintings on the walls across the property.. I will not detail them out for the next guests to discover them for themselves

Right from the front office (Rakesh / Vibhashu and the ever smiling Jigmat) / concierge (Ali) / Housekeeping (I couldn't get their names) / the hostess and the chefs at Ryuoka (we dined twice and each was an experience) / Nitin Yadav and Dipesh Kumar (amongst others) were exceptional

I (68 years) and our son (40) stayed for 6 nights and used The Grand Dragon Ladakh as our base

Cons:

Nothing!
