+ I stayed at Non Stop Café and had a wonderful experience. The place has a great vibe, perfect location, and warm hospitality. A special thanks to Vijay bhai, who was incredibly helpful throughout my stay. He personally supported me with every problem and made sure I was always comfortable. Truly one of the most genuine and kind hosts I've met. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Manali!"

+ Cafe is really nice, it was too cold to sit outside but there was a nice chill room ‘inside’ available where you could just hang out all night. Dorm room had curtains, lockers and a hot shower.

- Dorm room was a bit unclean, especially the inside of the locker and floor was starting to degrade and let loose a bit.

+ היו לנו אחלה יומיים בהוסטל, הצוות ממש נחמד ומסייע במה שצריך, החדרים נעימים והמיקום מאוד מרכזי ונגיש. מי שרגיש לרעש עלול להיות לו מאתגר. המחיר מאוד שווה את ההתארחות!

You get what you pay for, no frills, does the job, and In a beautiful quaint part of Manali. Entrance is a bit tricky to find but all in all I loved my stay (extended for 2 extra nights). Don’t expect a social atmosphere though, I didn’t interact with a single other guest whilst there as no one seems to want to talk.

It was an amazing experience to live at this hostel. They had a great indoor shop for hiking gear, free rental locks as well as good food. The only reason I am cutting some points is that some people staying there were rude to switch lights on at 4 am, talk and slam doors while the rest of us were sleeping. They owner was very nice and polite, but I feel he should have reprimanded them or at least talked to them about learning to respect the quiet hours.

We really enjoy our 5 day stay at the Culture Nation Hostel, where we had a nice private room. It is very nicely located in Old Manali with a lot of nice shops, restaurants and cafes. They have a lovely rooftop area for socialising with nice views of the mountains. Would definitely recommend staying there

+ Chambre confortable, personnel à l'écoute et très sympathique, bon petit-déjeuner. L'hôtel dispose également d'un restaurant avec une carte très variée. Je suis arrivée à 8h et j'ai pu avoir ma chambre immédiatement. Après un voyage de nuit en bus, c'est très appréciable.
