    Best stay in Kaza
    - Welcoming, polite, honest, kind, warm and friendly: Simply the best hospitality you wish for. - Clean and spacious rooms. - Mouthwatering Aloo Parantha, healthy Muesli for breakfast and delicious aloo Zeera is a must have at dinner. - Walking distance to Taxi stand. - The restaurant area is quite down to earth and aesthetic at the same time. With a sitting area on the floor and a table, you could chose as per your desire. Amazing books to read from the numerous books out there on the shelves. The view from the window is stunning. - Electric blankets are icing on the cake for chilly nights.
    It's hard to digest but this is an honest review- No issues whatsoever.

    Beware of False claims by Alpinist
    Ambience Location View from Valley Room. Bathroom equipped, but literally non functioning.
    No Electricity, if present with fluctuations No WiFi As a result Geysers won't work at Minus 4 degree. TV was for show only , not working for 3 days. Electric Kettle won't work because of electricity failure, No tea or coffee can be prepared. On site Room heating will be provided, but we were threatened that we will be charged Rs 1000 for this per night per Room.

    Passable
    I would recommend if you can stay at a homestay then do it, instead of any hotels.
    Only the location and the food.
    Location wise the hotel is good but the mentioned aminities are not provided. At 14K ft. height, in a tent where 2-3 buckets of hot water is provided, one can expect to get a bucket of hot water for a little kid. In this regards, I am very disappointed. I can understand that Kaza have a power outrage issues but I have talked with the local homestay owners and even there is no power, they provide adequate hot water for washroom and warm water for drinking. But the hotel staff here simply says they can't provide it. One day, when we were the only guest in the hotel (I assume, others checked out), the hotel told us that they would not run the generator. Once more guests came they started it.

    The only great place to stay in Kaza
    The place was just awesome. Do try their variety of coffees. I was awestruck to fine the variety of cuisines at such remote location. Hot chicken burger in -10c hits different.
    Nothing
