The Grand Dragon Ladakh

I am a super traveler primarily for business, so hotels satisfying me is not super easy… but this hotel and their staff was amazing.. specially Chef Desh Raj and his staff; the humble owner.. we stayed 4 days and this was an experience all travel lovers should not miss.. here are some moments with the team. Immaculately maintained, tastefully decorated and amazing food

"An unforgettable dining experience!" I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Grand dragon Hotel and it was nothing short of delightful. They offered a serene and elegant setting — with soft lighting, tasteful décor, and soothing music that made the experience even more enjoyable. We had our Family Dinner there . The staff were incredibly warm and attentive, making us feel right at home. They were quick to respond to our needs and even gave great recommendations from the menu. One of the highlights was the chef’s special food — a melt-in-the-mouth treat that left us craving more. It’s rare to find a place that offers both exceptional food and genuine hospitality. I would highly recommend The Grand Dragon Ladakh to anyone looking for a memorable culinary experience.

We recently stayed at the Grand Dragon Hotel and found the experience to be a mix of positives and disappointments. The Good: The rooms were neat, clean, and well-maintained — definitely up to expectations. One of the highlights of our stay was the breakfast spread: a good variety with excellent service that made mornings pleasant and enjoyable. The Not-So-Good: However, there were several areas that left us underwhelmed. Although the hotel had clearly communicated the ₹2600/night charge for an extra bed at check-in, it was surprising that no bed was actually placed for the third person in the room until we followed up. This felt like a basic miss in hospitality. The "high tea" offering was quite disappointing. It consisted of just tea and a few cookies — far from what one would expect under the label "high tea," especially at a premium property. Another letdown was the view from the room, which didn’t match what was shown in the promotional photos. Additionally, we had requested a paid upgrade to a luxury room with a balcony. Despite a vacant room being available right next to ours, we were told there was no availability. That response felt disingenuous and diminished the overall guest experience. Overall: While the hotel delivers well on cleanliness and breakfast service, there are gaps in guest service, transparency, and value for money that need attention. Would recommend with reservations, depending on your expectations.

The rooms were comfortable, spacious and clean. All the Hotel staff were friendly, prompt and courteous. Hotel’s location is just perfect. Its only 3 km from the Leh Airport and at a walking distance from the local Leh market. Food was amazing and delectable. A wide range of dishes were available in buffet spread. Not to miss Kahwa, Seabuckthorn Tea (my favourite), and Vegetarian Thukpa whenever you are in TGD. Restaurant Zasgyath team were all quick in service, attentive and courteous. Special praises for Chef Deshraj Punia for one on one interaction with the guests for food preferences and the feedback. We had early morning flight on the check out day and for obvious reasons we had to skip our breakfast. Chef Deshraj went out of the way and arranged small breakfast packet for all of us which actually kept us full and came handy while we waited at the airport for our much delayed flight to Delhi due to bad weather. Travel Desk team was quick in arranging vehicle and the driver whenever needed. Vehicles provided had oxygen cylinder, hot beverage (Kahwa) and cookies for day long trips which is something i haven’t seen anywhere else. A big thanks to Arif, our driver and companion during our trips to Changla, Pangong Lake and Leh Local sightseeing. He would always ask us if we are feeling comfortable whenever we were ascending high altitudes, guided well about local areas, ensured we were safe all the time, helped in clicking family pictures thus making our journey special and memorable one. Would always love to come back to TGD on my next visit to Leh Ladakh. ||||JULLEY !!

The hotel was the best!!! Truly lovely, and we especially enjoyed the buffet. The staff was great and incredibly friendly taking the time to talk to us, assist us, and give us advice. The restaurant staff was especially warm and welcoming, and it was always nice to see them. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay here again. Thank you so much for the great stay! :)

My wife and I recently used the Grand Dragon in Leh as our base for three short stays while we toured the fabulous Ladakh region.||We chose the Grand Dragon on the advice of our tour company and could not have been happier. ||We appreciated the spacious well maintained rooms with amazing views, the excellent restaurant, efficient lifts, interesting local decor and the convenient location.||But to be honest, it was the service provided the staff at all levels that made us feel so at home. Without exception the were helpful, caring and responsive.||We unreservedly recommend the Grand Dragon for a welcoming and comfortable stay in Leh.

My wife and I were received with great warmth with Silk Gamchas and Kava Tea by Ms Johar . The Hotel - the only 5 star isn’t Leh is truly beautiful and the rooms are spacious airy with all possible conveniences the staff are friendly courteous and go the extra mile to help. We first stayed on the 17 th June in a luxury room and after our tour of Ladakh we returned on 20th June when we were given an upgrade to a suite . Outstanding food and service.
