I recently stayed at a hostel in Leh and had an exceptional experience. The place was neat and clean, with friendly people and great food. Tousef, the owner, was incredibly helpful in planning our entire trip, including arranging vehicles and stays within our budget. He was always available on calls whenever we needed assistance. This is a must-stay place if you're looking for an affordable option with a nice view and genuinely helpful people. Highly recommended!
When I arrived from Kargil I was ill (fever, stomach) and I got a nice quiet room with large private bathroom instead of a room with a shared bathroom. I could take all the time I need to recover and the staff brought me water, tea and food whenever I asked. That was a great help. So if you like it quiet, cheap and supportive, this is the place.
Nice rooftop, cheap, not too far from the main market street
