This was my 3rd stay at zostel. Really loved the vibe, the people and the food.

Suvinay India

I planned to stay at Zostel Manali for 2 days and ended up staying for 5 days instead, all because of the charming host at the property, Vandana Rawat who was very welcoming and made my stay there very comfortable. Travelling solo isn't easy, but my stay at Zostel this time was one of the best solo ones I've had. All because of the host. Thank you

Devansh India

Great spaces to hangout and mingle with others. Extremely friendly staff and volunteers.

Astha India

Friendly staff. Good cleanliness. Room for freshening up and resting before and after check-in/checkout. Luggage room. Amazing location in the middle of a village. Good common area.

Suhas India

I stayed at Zostel Manali during my first ever solo trip and loved it even more when I returned a second time! If you're planning to travel solo, Zostel Manali is the place for you. The location is breathtaking with beautiful cherry trees all around (cherry blossoms during March and full of cherries in April-May). It's a short walk from the main Old Manali road passing by Himachali houses. The dorms are comfortable and clean. The cafe offers a good variety of options (may seem a little expensive). The common room on the top floor is perfect if you're on a work-cation (working with a view of the snowy Himalayas, hell yeah!). But the best part are the people you meet here and the friends you make through the journey (Shoutout to Risheek who was extremely fun and cooperative whenever we needed him). I could honestly go on and on. Long story short, Zostel Manali is the place to stay at if you're visiting Old Manali!

Smriti India

Zostel has the best view and they offer great service. Highly recommended for Solo Travellers as well as for group who love hostel's atmosphere.

Subramanian India

The view from the terrace was amazing. Rooms were clean and the food was also quite decent.

Sanghamitra India

Everything was picture perfect and the staff was polite. I didn't get to stay for longer as I just had a day left in my vacation schedule. So I definitely hope to come here again, for the people, for the place and for the vibe.

Sareen India

Amazing staff, vibes and fellow travellers! Special thanks to Shubham Gaur and Rohit for the hospitality
