Zostel Old Manali

Booked for 3 days, stayed for a week – that pretty much sums up how great this place is. The rooms were comfy, the vibe was just the right mix of chill and social, and the people I met here? Absolute gems. The staff was super friendly and always ready to help with anything. Plus, the food was surprisingly good (definitely not your average hostel fare). Whether it was lazy mornings or fun evenings, this place nailed it. If you’re looking for a place to unwind and make some great memories, this hostel’s got you covered.

We arrived at 3 am instead of 6 am in Manali, our check in time was around 12 pm. The host was kind enough to let us check in. We loved to have breakfast with stunning views and cute dogs. Rooms were great, neat and tidy. Just some troubles with the wash basin. Location is good, close to market. Will definitely go back here.

The property is located in old manali and is in close proximity to the market and cafes. The vibe of the place is fun and staff is super friendly, especially the manager Ajay. The common spaces are great and allow for socialising and meeting fellow travellers. A great place for solo travellers and small groups. Only con is the access to the property for which you have to walk through a narrow lane. However, good views require some efforts

I had a fantastic stay at Zostel Manali! The dorms were incredibly comfortable and spotlessly clean, making it feel like a home away from home. The best part was the amazing staff – always friendly and helpful. A special shoutout to the manager, Ajay, who went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Manali!

Very good host :Ajay . The stay was very good. Room is spacious with Heater working 24/7 hot water. Enough blanket with a nice balcony

It was as amazing staycation at Zostel. The staff is amazingly super friendly, the vibe is really good, the food quality and taste is top notch. The view of the mountains from the room is mesmerizing. The service is a full on 5 star. Full cheers to Ajay Bhai (front desk) for amazing short river hikes .

I recently stayed at Zostel Manali, and it was one of the best hostel experiences I’ve ever had! The location is perfect, nestled amidst breathtaking views of the mountains and close to all the major attractions in Old Manali. The vibe here is incredible—super chilled, with friendly travelers from around the world. The staff was extremely welcoming and helpful, always ready to assist with local tips and recommendations. The dorms and private rooms were clean, cozy, and well-maintained.

We stayed at Zostel for four days, and the experience was exceptional! The rooms were comfortable, spotless, and well-equipped with heaters and 24/7 hot water. The rooftop café served the best food, making every meal a delight. We also enjoyed playing pool in the play area and even made a lifelong friend. There were plenty of indoor games to keep us entertained as well. On our last day, we were lucky enough to witness snowfall at Zostel—it truly felt like a dream come true! One of the highlights was the bonfire they arranged during our stay, adding to the cozy and memorable experience. Thank you for such a wonderful stay! Love from Sri Lanka. ❤️ — Kavish
