Serenity in the Garden

The hotel's garden is a true oasis for relaxation. I loved spending time in the hammocks surrounded by nature, which provided a peaceful retreat after my adventures in Leh. It was the perfect spot to sip tea and unwind.

That said, the dining options could use a bit of improvement, both in quality and variety. The location was nice, with lovely paths nearby, but some amenities were lacking in terms of availability.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms were nicely kept with a lovely view of the kitchen garden below, and I could tell the lounge would be a cozy spot during chillier weather. However, I did miss some amenities like a safe and a kettle in the room. The service was impressively helpful, especially with organizing sports channels during the Eurocup. On the downside, the dining experience was just okay, and I think they could improve the food quality overall.
