Location rather than comfort is the watchword at the Yak Tail. Traditionally designed like monastic quarters, the apple-trees, Astroturf courtyard and trained hop-plants make this venerable old hotel look delightful at first glance but the cheapest rooms are monastic indeed. Pricier ones have very dated fake veneer and a slight smell of mothballs. The wi-fi seems pretty limited.

Having stayed here on two occasions I felt the need to share my experiences. Stay in the winters is not recommended at all. The rooms are dingy, toilets bad . Heating is by way of smelly & unsafe Gas fired heaters. Had a disappointing stay. Shifted out to another hotel near by which was much better.

Wonderful Location It is right smack in the heart of Leh with very wonderful and warm service. The staff was very helpful in recommending tours and restaurants to eat. We had a good time. Recommend this place highly.

For the budget conscious, this is a decent hotel. Rooms are average, but clean. The hotel is located in a very busy small street but walking distance from the markets. The food is average but the dining cloths seem filthy (washed and clean, but the multiple old stains put us off our appetites). The management tries hard to help, and... More

We were a group of 5 friends on a Ladakh Safari for 11 days in August. We stayed 6 nights in Leh, 4 of them in the outskirts of Leh near Saboo village to get to feel the real essence of Ladakh. The other 2 nights we stayed in Yak Tail. This hotel is right in the heart of Leh... More
