    Nice stay at IRIS Cottage manali

    avik c.family with 1 kid

    "A Memorable l Stay – Highly Recommend!" We had an outstanding experience at this hotel ! The hosts (Jaypal) went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Its just 1.8 kms from Mall Road. We stayed in Cottage 1 and it's upstairs. Also Vasisth hot water spring very near to this property. The food was delicious, and the view from the balcony was simply breathtaking—a perfect spot to relax and take in the beauty of the surroundings. Staff were extremely polite, attentive, and accommodating, making us feel truly welcomed. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Manali. Thank you for such a memorable experience! Definitely way better than very costly hotels. Cheers 👍👍

    Great place for peaceful stay

    family with 2 kids

    Location was awesome and very convenient. People are very good and cooperative. Services are bit slow and the staff need to get bit trained in terms of proactiveness. Owner of the property is a very gentle man. He was present there for very little time. Staff should be much more attentive to the formalities. Rest all are absolutely great. We stayed at cottage for 2 nights with absolute peace.

    nicole s.family

    this little cottage was amazing. we stayed in the Iris balcony room and the view was absolutely beautiful. some might find the room small but as a family of 3 it was perfect for us. the food was so delicious no complaints there. for people saying the prices are high it's the same you would pay at any hotel or homestay. we found the prices decent. this cottage is only a 5 minute drive to mall road. we had our own car so getting around wasn't an issue I'm not sure how much the cabs would charge. the young man Suraj who works there is wonderful. he was so helpful with anything we needed. if your looking for a nice comfy stay with gorgeous views and delicious food this is your place.

    Great Hospitality and Breath taking views

    arundhati.loyalty-iconfamily

    If you are expecting luxury - this one is not for you. It is an eco friendly staycation with a breath taking view of the Beas and Mountains, amazing location, 5 mins walking from Mall Road. The staff is extremely friendly - to mention Laxmi and Suraj. Owner Jay takes care of you as if you are visiting his home ❤️ The cafe and it's food is superb! Parking is just 50 feet away from the hotel. We stayed in the Heritage room and Balcony room with my family. They took very good care of us. Would like to visit again. Just a feedback - If you can install televisions in the room 😊

    The room quality is not upto the mark, the build is poor and amenties are of poor quality. There is a constant smell in the room. The photos shown by the property owner is different than the actual property. They upgraded us from balcony room to cottage but it felt like a degrade. The view is very basic. Worth it only if your budget is low else there are better properties around that area.
