Zostel Old Manali

The location is very inconvenient. No electricity was there for first hour.

Hi team, So I had checked in at Zostel Manali (Old Manali road) on 3rd March 2023 and checked out on 6th Match 2023. I have stayed in different Zostel's be it in Rishikesh, Dharamshala and Chennai. We stayed in 4 mixed dorm room. I have to say the dorm was much smaller in size as compared to your other 4 mixed dorm rooms in Rishikesh , Chennai and Dharamshala. Apart from that people were drinking booz like they had not have alcohol in their life and after drinking soo much were misbehaving like entering our room to take a piss without even asking and then justifying their actions. We had a girl with us in that room so you can take a guess how wrong it was on that guys part. Also your Volunteer for Activities, a guy named Anurag had only 2 things to do, either he was smoking pot or making us play Mafia. Also he was more focused on taking everyone for star gazing at night in the middle of the jungle, I dont know why maybe he has his own maggie point there or god knows what. Manali is beautiful but your volunteer Anurag made the whole stay bad for us and on top during a bon fire he was forcing us to drink alcohol even though we clearly said we dont drink. Forcing someone to drink alcohol is not cool or hippy in any sense. Kindly look into your people working on that property.

There were two other couples with us, we booked private rooms which were clean, well presented and very good value. The food was excellent, more like high end restaurant catering and the service was friendly and personal. We would all highly recommend this place. It is down a quiet and narrow path but not too far from old Manali high street and the short walk is well rewarded by the view and ambience. Availing yourself of a stay here will not disappoint
