Hotel away from the bustle

This hotel is a good 10 minutes walk from the main hustle and bustle of the Leh high street and town centre. It is set in quiet part of town and has views across the town and up towards the monastery and stupa.

There is parking available in the grounds of the compound and the exterior of the building is clean and reasonably well maintained. The hotel owner/manager is charming and helpful. other staff are very happy to help but may not always be in a hurry.

Our room was on the first floor and looked out over an open area of land used for cultivation, with a nice view of the far mountains in the distance. The room was very basic but nice and cool, however, the bed was very hard. The mattress appeared to be stuffed with jute making it exceptionally hard and rather itchy. Even sleeping on top of the quilt, double over, did not ease the discomfort of the mattress, although it was not so itchy!

The bathroom facilities were adequate and clean with plenty of water ( not necessarily hot but prefectly adequate.)

I can recommend the cheese omelettes served for breakfast - light, fluffy and delicious.

Good place

Good hotel. Very good and helpful staff. Ample car parking space. Rooms were new but needs maintenance. Owner was a very helpful gentlemen and staff were good too. Views were fantastic. However - like the town, hotel becomes dusty very quickly.

My capsule review :)

* Located close to the main road and market.
* Would suggest this place for a traveler on a budget.
* Parking inside premises.
* Free WiFi but was very slow
* Try to get rooms on the top floor, has much better views.

Trip to Leh

The hotel is average. Initial greeting was not welcoming but later service was better. The hospitality is not so great. No choice of breakfast. Transport facilities will be arranged by request.Overall an average experience.

Leh _ Jorchung

We stayed at Jorchung during our Leh drive in September 2014.

A good host. Good location. Not on the main road but just about walkable to the main road/main market. Quiet place. Go to the terrace for view of the Shanti Stupa and far away mountains.

We stayed 3 nights. Checked out and had come back again as Nubra valley roads were closed.

Nothing fancy. Decent food. Serves both vegetarian and non vegetarian.

Rooms are basic but spacious. Rooms on first floor are better. Unless the owner has added another floor. The higher up the better.

If you are there in season – you can get fresh fruits too!
