    The property itself was decent, clean, the common area nicely done with good wifi. Overall location was not great in terms of a view but close to old manali center to walk around.

    The owners were very welcoming. Also the cafe food was good. Other travellers were also good. There was a special vibe of that place. Definitely recommend to others.

    I stayed in the private room. Must say the room was tidy and spacious. Host Dhananjay bhaiya and Roma di assisted and accompanied in every way possible. The team Om, Arpit bhai were helpful and polite. Food was very tasty and reasonable. Above all loved loved meeting their pets Dumdum and Luna. Very friendly and playful 🖤 Also an ideal and peaceful environment to work from mountains. Thank you and best wishes. Would love to visit again.

    The location is a bit uphill and no proper sign boards to reach the property! Even you won't find 'Young Monk Hostel' sign board on their small single entry gate, this was strange!

    The owner is fantastic! He is helpful and will personally take care of your stay. We booked a room which was big and spacious. Clean and spacious bathroom!

    Young Monk Hostel has the most accommodating and helpful staff be it cleaning, management, and in-house kitchen staff, and great internet connectivity. The property is very clean and hygienic. The in-house cafe serves home-cooked food and has amazing taste (DJ bhai +1 here). The people managing the property make it an amazing experience. Place has its own homely vibe with a mountain view outside and a great ambiance inside. High-speed wifi if you are doing WFH. Thanks everyone for being amazing hosts. Will visit soon

    I've seen a fair share of awesome hosts, but I don't think I have met anyone before who goes as overboard as sunny bhai. Sunny absolutely made sure that "vibe bana rahe". Also special mention to Vishal bhai from mars monkeys who kept us company. Gary and gang for the supreme holi party and more... Sibha and lallan for all the help and food... Also other individuals (nilay, Rishi, Subham... ) jinhone time spend kiya and mujhe idhar udhar ghumaaya... Man ye stay to core memory wala ho gaya! 20/10!! Milte hai kabhi Jibhi me sunny brooo.

    Young Monk is the best in town ... You will find many good hostels in Manali but the food here is the best, very delicious which you cannot find in Manali and reasonably priced. Rooms are tidy and maintained. High speed wifi if you are doing WFH. There are 2 friendly dogs as well luna and dumdum 🐾 they brighten up your stay a thousand times. Location is also good as it is near to every place but secluded from the road hustle bustle. The room was neat and clean, all in all this hostel was a very good experience.
