It was really peaceful and clean, both important for us traveling as family. It was comfortable. Plus factor is that it is very close to the Leh market (like 5 to 8 minutes walking). They gave great service also. We had nice view from balcony of mountains and gardens. Owners naomi and david were very nice and gave good advice on travel.

We used Snow view as a transit point for over night stays between our various travels across ladakh. Since we were there in early june, the first night was a bit of a problem. Just one person to help all the guests and lot of confusion, and delays, we almost decided to look elsewhere for rest of the days. and then it all changed.
When we got back from Pangong lake, the whole scene had changed for the better. There was ample staff, everything got really really better.
Now for the details:
We did not book this place by ourselves. Our travel agent had done the booking for us. Like couple of reviewers already mentioned, this is in a relatively quieter part of Leh (upper changspa) and hence you have trees around you, a lovely little vegetable garden (lot of things you eat come from this garden which is awesome). The popular markets are a few minutes walk, but make sure you carry a torch with you sicne it gets pretty dark with barely any street lights.
Our room was in the new section. The room was spacious, bathroom was big and functional and clean. Hot water showed up in the morning when we needed it. There is a huge balcony with a view of the snow capped mountains. Couple of chairs and a table was a nice touch. My buddy who loved to photography birds got some nice images right from the balcony as well.
The service was fantastic after the first night and the food (dinner and breakfast) was awesome. The staff did everything they could but remember that this is ladakh and lot of stuff needs to come from lower plains and other parts of india and hence can cost you.
David the owner was nice, extremely friendly. Gave us a lot of information about ladakh, history interesting/funny anecdotes and made our stay that much better . We did not use their travel desk or travel services nor did they ever try to sell us any of their services.
They do have free wifi.. but it didn't work for the first couple of days. It is fairly spotty if you are in the new building but David promised he will be fixing that very very soon. There is TV with a bunch of channels but not much sports. There was a cricket tournament going on but it didn't bother us that much.
Yes, there are places right on the market street you can stay, but stay here. It is peaceful with friendly staff, fresh produce and pretty good food and then you have David. and when you are here, please know that you are NOT in a big city with all kinds of modern amenities. You are in Ladakh and manage your expectations appropriately.
While you are there, say hello to David's mom. A wonderful old lady who takes care of the vegetable garden.

I have stayed 4 yrs back. Rooms are good but attitude of staff is very bad. Actually I wanted 1 water bottle at night. The staff guy had told me that we cannot provide water after 11 PM night. Means what kind of service ur giving to ur guests? This is not a way to speak with your guest. Not to recommend anybody.

In the course of my visit to Ladakh, I found that it is a place that has yet to discover in my wish list. I had talked to my friends regarding the place best to stay at Ladakh and most of them suggested David Sonam. The set up from my side was done few months back and my realisation came true when I first met him. David Sonam, owner of Snow View hotel, really a humble guy, a nature lover, a trekker!! what else I don't know. Yes another thing, he who has no affinity to money. I am an avid birder, so I approached to him to have few pointers on birding hotspots in the region. As per his suggestion we achieved a bag full within 4 days of our stay. The manager duo Naomi and Serin both helped us a lot during the absence of David. Each and every minute thing they took care of. After knowing that we were there for birding, they provided us a "field guide", species found in the Ladakh region on our first day photography and birding trip at Leh. Hotel-room-service-boys are always available at your door step and just a call away. Foods were excellent, specially apricot jam with bread provided at our breakfast. Bathrooms are spacious and well equipped with necessary items. We didn't expect Wi-Fi connection, it is a free service that they provide. Rooms are better than that of normal Indian standards and the lobby has bookshelves loaded with books of different genres. A must visit for everyone!!

Stayed in Snow view ladakh for three days.The hotel is located 20 mins drive from the Leh airport.We checked in early in the morning ,and the rooms were ready during our arrival.Very homely place with personalized services. Rooms were very spacious neat and clean.Hot water was available throughout the day.They advised us to stay and rest in the room for one day so that we can get used to the altitude. Mr.David the MD of the hotel had given medication to our friends who were sick due to the altitude sickness.A very helpful person and knowledgeable person about leh and its surroundings. Food was served in the restaurant.Cozy place with friendly service.Food taste was amazing.Hats off to the chef and the service staff who took very good care of us. Overall it was an amzing two days stay in Snow view ..Will visit again.

Snow View offers clean, tranquil, in private location and best-service place. Besides the free picking-up service from the airport, we got upgraded to a bigger room. The room is full of lights and windows in all directions to see clearly mountain range in the day and stars at night together with comfy wide bed, clean carpet, well-picked room color. Heather and hot shower ran on the time of electricity provision and in the meantime of load-shedding, hot bags and unlimited hot water pot was delivered one after one without any request from our end. The hotel is well-designed, spacious and gave a lovely modern but traditional atmosphere of northern India. Traditional food and western food was superb. Staffs treated us like a closed family yet remained high value service and privacy. If you want to ride motorcycle to or from Manali, this is absolutely recommended to boost up your energy. Or even you don't plan to do so..It's a real value to give it a shot. We like it here. Highly recommend for everyone.

I stayed here with a small group and found the hotel to be fantastic. David, the owner, was so helpful. Tsering, our concierge was also wonderful to work with. The rest of the staff was very friendly. The food was delicious, the location was fantastic, the Shanti Stupa was nearby, and the hotel is within walking distance to the main shopping area. The room was spacious and clean and I loved the vegetable garden they Are growing, a very peaceful setting. I would highly recommend this hotel to all the travelers to Leh.
