The stay made me feel like it was my own home. Staff are so friendly and treated me like family. The common areas are very cozy that you can chill and conversate with the other guests as much as you want. I actually extended my stay there just to spend more time with the hosts Vishal ji, Deependra ji and Manjeet ji. Besides the location is very calm and peaceful and nearby the market and cafes as well. Rooms are clean. You can party and have movie nights too. It was the greatest experience of our whole trip to Manali. Made some lovely memories in the hostel.

We came for one night and stayed for almost a week. It had a great atmosphere and really helpful people working there. It was slightly hard to find at first but one of the hostel staff came to pick us up halfway. It is quiet but also close to the main streets of old Manali. Great view from the garden, good food and coffee served also. If you are looking for a friendly hostel with comfortable amenities, this is the one to go for.

Electricity power in old manali

The location is the most liked part by me cause it is filled with greenery and mountains and the vibe is so peaceful there, I initially planned for 1 day but ended up staying for a 3 days. The place is situated in a quiet place away from the noise of the traffic so adds up to the perks of staying there. If you're in Manali or Old Manali you should definitely give this place a chance to accommodate you. The hosts are very welcoming, Friendly and warm. Delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner made by Manjit Bhai everyday. Would definitely come back again. My evenings included playing with the dogs they have and also interacting with new people. I made lovely friends coming back from here.

Nothing as much, value for money

Food, support from the owner- who went above and beyond in helping the guests. As I am a solo traveller, he helped like a local guide for the bus stand and helped in boarding.

Great place to relax. Beautiful view of the mountains, hostel remote from the noise. The hostel is very clean, comfortable bed, hot water. Food is also very good! Special thanks to Vishal, he is an incredible person. Thanks for help with buying a ticket and tips on interesting places! Definitely recommended

No signs leading to it and dark and difficult to get to at night but otherwise great place and excellent value.

Hot water, friendly staff. In a natural, traditional place with locals but beside old town main street with many cafes and shops.

Kind of hard to find with no lights or signs down a dark path but once you're there it's good

Fantastic value. I had the double room with hot water washroom. Staff will serve u food life family. Spacious and clean room with big, comfortable bed and warm quilt. Sometimes bonfires and beside apple orchard and near residences of magical local people but also in centre of old manali with cafes and bars and restaurants and shops.

I stayed in this property with my family for 3 days in a triple occupancy room and the stay was quite comfortable. The food was delicious. The property owner Mr. Vishal is a nice guy. We reached the property before the check-in time and as the room booked was not vacant, he is kind enough and arranged another room temporarily to fresh up and also allowed us to stay beyond the check-out time. The property is surrounded with Cherry trees and has a small garden, where we had our lunch. My daughters love dogs and after reading reviews, we came to know that there was a dog named “COCO”. So my daughters spent time with it. We can walk and reach Manu Temple, Club House, Manaslu River, Hadimba Temple from the property. Although the route is narrow, it is amazing and adventurous. It is not pertinent to mention here that some foreigners, who stayed in the property, greeted us by saying “Hello” with a smile on their face and I feel that this is a good sign, which most of our Indians should practice.
