“We stayed here as a group of 2 couples for the first 2 nights of our trip and it was an extremely great expereience for all of us. The rooms were neat and clean and the food was awesome. However the best part was the professional staff who are very well committed in ensuring that the guests have best of their time. They will guide you in terms of what needs to be done to settle down in first few days to get use to the high altitude climate. Further we also had a medical emergency and the staff arranged for the cab in no time. Will definetly recommend this hotel to everyone“

Property Details
An appropriate option for pure vegetarians backed by years of service, this property has a guesthouse and a hotel on the same premises. It is recommended to stay on the 2nd or 3rd floor to get the best views of the city. Located just below the Shanti Stupa, everything is a stone’s throw away. Unlike many hotels, Butler’s service is also available here. Though it is a property with many rooms now, it is a calm and peaceful abode. They have a warm common area where one feels at home and a library that is tucked away in a corner. One can read and enjoy a cup of coffee here.

“Great Hospitality…Great View and Very Honest Staff. I stayed at Oriental for 3 days at a stretch and then a day again post a break. I had lost my wallet with lot of cash and Id’s and i did not remember where. To my pleasant surprise, on my return, my wallet was promptly returned to me even before i could mention it.
