    Reviews Summary

    Powered by Myra.AI

    This property offers breathtaking views and a relaxed vibe, making it ideal for solo travelers and groups alike. It's close to the Vashisht temple, allowing for early morning visits. The dorms are cozy, and the staff is generally friendly and helpful. Although the trek to reach the property may be a bit challenging, the scenic beauty and clean ambiance are worth it. Just a heads up, some guests found the road access tricky and the check-out process a bit abrupt.

    Poor Stay

    sneha s.couple

    We had a 3 day stay at this property of zostel. The room is really nice, the view is amazing. The only issue was the food. It was not at all good, the cook refuses to make half the things on the menu and he does not have most of the ingredients. Basic aloo paratha for lunch, he said it can’t be made. Bcz it’s only for breakfast, no where on the menu, there is a specific section for breakfast and it’s too expensive. The cafe always has this weird smell. Plus the climb to the place is a task. It’s a steep uphill climb and the road is really narrow, it’s risky. There is no railing and there is poop everywhere and with the broken pathways, if one falls, it will be a 10ft fall. It’s really far from Mall Road and everything else, there is not a decent cafe nearby. Plus the manager of the property is a little distant and not at all hospitable. Even the girl at the reception, will not greet you or smile at you. We had given the keys and asked for the staff to clean the room, but now fresh towels or a bottle of water were kept, I asked 3 times and then we received it.

    The property is located in scenic Vashist village and has stunning Mountain View’s. The common areas are done tastefully and its complete value for money. Only downside is there no 2 wheeler or 4 wheeler parking space and you need to park your vehicle in paid parking. Other than this lovely property for the price and well suited for solo travellers.

    The entrance to manali vashist hostel is from a very narrow lane. And the caretaker is not that friendly as we have requested her for bonfire but she denied our request. And finally agreed and charged us excess money

    Nice & clean place to stay, also the view is amazing from top floor! staffs are good and helpful too. Reaching here is a small trek indeed and this place is very near to vashisht temple hence it's easy to go there early morning and the vibe is so nice.

    The location was very terrible. You need to track for around 1 km on a very slippery road. The services and food was also very average

    Booked the property as we had visited zostel lonavala and we loved it. But this property is in too inner area, you cannot spot it easily. Though the property is good its owner is rude and not at all helpful. Wont advice the zostel if you are travel-ling with luggage.

    Extremely poor roads leading to the Zostel property. Paid parking 200m away approx and then a thin alley leads uphill. Property was nice. Good dorms and a nice place to interact.

    Most scenic views from the property itself. Very polite and cooperative staff best for work from remote location. Since it's very near to vashisht temple you can get down and experience holy vibes.
