    Terrible stay... Not at all recommended

    kumudini s.couple

    We had booked for 3 days. Our stay was horrible. Room was not so clean. Found a big spider in the bed. Our room was beside a dorms where group of 10 played games the whole night due to which we couldn’t sleep for whole night. We had to checkout immediately the next day although the stay was booked for more than 2 days. There was smoke everywhere in the premises. It was not case earlier there were certain rules being followed. Coordinator at the property was not of any help.

    Not worth it.

    venkateshwar p.group

    The property location was quite hard to find. We were walking around in the dark and cold trying to find the place. Moreover we had slight change in the plan and tried to move the date of our stay to a day later. But they didn't accept and made the cost of the change so prohibitive that we had no other choice but to change our plans again. And also you get much better places to stay nearby zostel if you just go there and book on the spot. That's what we did for our later days of stay. One good thing about zostel is you can interact with other travelers. But if your plan was to enjoy with your own gang of friends then zostel won't make for a sensible stay.

    Perfect Location with Great Food and Services

    damini c.group

    I had an amazing experience at Zostel Old Manali! The location is perfect, nestled amidst the serene beauty of Manali with easy access to local attractions. The food was delicious and offered a variety of options to suit every palate. The amenities were well-maintained, and the vibrant common areas made it a great place to meet fellow travelers. The staff was friendly and provided excellent service throughout our stay. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a cozy and enjoyable stay in Manali!

    Location was a bit unaccessible with weary roads. Food quality was good. Dorms were spacious. Property caretaker could have been more cautious before barging in an "all female dorms."
