The Hosteller Manali - Backpacker Hostel in Manali - Kullu, India

Hosteller Manali Review: I recently stayed at Hosteller Manali, and I must say it was an great experience. This hostel, nestled in the breathtaking hills of Manali, truly exceeded my expectations. Accommodation: The dorms and private rooms are clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. The beds were cozy, and the rooms had ample space, ensuring a good night's sleep.. Staff: The hostel staff is incredibly warm and helpful. They are always ready to assist with any queries or recommendations, making you feel at home. Their local knowledge proved invaluable in planning my Manali trip.

I stayed in this property, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The location is excellent, very close to the main town, within walking distance to Old Manali, and opposite a beautiful grove of middle-aged cedar trees. Exploring that stunning jungle is a must-do. During my stay, I met many vibrant individuals from different parts of India and the world. I stayed for more than 10 days, and I'll never forget those memorable moments. I plan to visit again

This was perhaps the best experience I have ever had in a hostel. My trip to Manali was short planned, but the person in the front desk help me a ton He shot me to the best places. Got me with the best price as possible for trips and was very friendly and Well mannered, he was a type of guy who helps everyone and anyone. If you're coming to Manali, I recommend This place

First thing: Do not believe reviews for this property. I booked the Hosteller Manali based on review and regretted. There is not a single pro about this property. Cons: 1) Wifi was worst, it was not reachable in dorm rooms, and kept disconnecting. Even the common room tv kept buffering during the cricket match. 2) Host Rishabh was a nightmare. He allocated same dorm bed to 3 different people 2 times on same day. It was like government bus. In the morning I kept my bad and said this is my bed, same way he allowed 3 other guys to claim the same bed during entire day. At night we guests ourselves had to manage on our own. He had no accountability whatsoever. If we ask to refill water, he will say take it on your own. He will not be available anytime on desk. No be helping with any kind of travel queries. 3) Zero entertainment, dull vibe or engagement. There is only 1 small common room and that too lack that vibe. Property is very very small. No space to sit or talk or anything. 4) No food or tea. No kitchen. You will not get anything to eat. Not even tea. And as this is far from market, you will need to wall 25 minutes up-hill to reach some restaurant. 5) I had booked for 2 nights, but seeing the situation I left in 1 night only.

It is a beautiful property. Hosteller does have better ones like the one in Kasol but this also won't disappoint. The staff is very friendly. Just that there is no cafe in the property so for food you will have to rely on local cafes. The room with balcony has a decent view but not exactly of the mountains. Overall, it is a very decent and reliable place to stay in Old Manali.

Had a great experience staying at the hosteller! The rooms were clean and well maintained. There are two cute pets to give you a warm welcome and the common room gives a good opportunity to meet new people. The forest and mountain views from here is worth it! Highly recommended.

Don't believe any of the reviews you read, a lot of them are written by accounts with just a single review or two, and I suscpect they are fake. The actual location is quite horrible, surrounded by buildings on all sides, and the whole place smells of feet. The staff didn't allow us to look at the rooms before we booked, and they refused to let us book at the location instead insisting on using their terribly designed mobile app. We did so, and were greeted by a smelly room that smelled of distilled feet. We asked for a change of room to be told that the property is full, then we asked for a refund, to which they refused. So we walked out, never to return. I highly suggest you stay away from this place, and book one of the many other, beautiful hostels in manali.

The hosteller experience was truly wonderful, i enjoyed every moment i spent in Manali. It was a pleasure meeting Shonko da and Cahat bhai. Will definitely visit again without a doubt!!!
