When we arrived in Leh, the originally planned Hotel Holiday Ladakh was under renovations. So we got booked into the Hotel Kidar. The hotel is beautifully taken care of and has a wonderful garden to sit, talk, relax and play cards. I spent so much time with my wife in their garden. The staff was always polite and very helpful. It was more a feeling of having friends around us helping us with everything. Food options are very limited for dinner, but still: What they do, they do right and definitely more than you can eat! One problem is for sure that there is no internet, and as most of the people in our generation we usually use it quite a lot.
I want to thank Jigmet and his team so much. We loved staying there!

Hotel Kidar is one of those rare properties which lives up to its TripAdvisor rating. It’s located in a quiet neighbourhood but is at walkable distance (5 minutes) from the main market.
The rooms are well appointed, comfortable and have all the amenities one would need on a long trip. It has free WiFi and 24-hour hot water facility to boot.
We, especially, enjoyed sitting on the cane chairs and basking in the sun in the garden overlooking their kitchen-farm.

I stayed at Kidar in August 2015. It was my fourth consecutive stay in four years. As always, this hotel has maintained its quality. This year I found more breakfast options. Service team (Jeevan and party) is excellent. Owner Jigmet with his warm smile is always there to help you, so is his family.
If you visit Kidar in August-September, you may get a chance to taste apples and apricots from their trees. I enjoyed organic vegetables from their garden.

The family which own this hotel are amazing, Jigmet and his parents try to make your stay comfortable and feel like home. aunty cooks really great food, in harsh weather when its difficult to get veggies etc, she gives flavours and taste whatever she makes for you. Jigmet helped us providing details for Nubra/ pangong as well.
He also arranged taxi as it was off season all shops were closed in market, he helped us in every possible way. definitely going to stay in our next visit.
