Need a better and genuine people in front office.
Pros:

Like facilities in general

Cons:

Front office staff are taking advantage of using ladakhi language to give your hire price for the room. The name of women who did this was Jigmet. Terrible

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.
