Guest Reviews
- Yogesh (10/5): -
- Abin (10/5): - Awesome stays fullon enjoy at budget friendly price Little bit food prices high rate
- Vyas (10/5): - The location of the hotel is not very convenient. Google Maps shows a confusing route that goes around unnecessarily. The staff at the property is very helpful. Mr. Harish Kumar provided exceptional support during our visit. Our car broke down near Manu Temple. I called the hotel, and Mr. Harish answered the call. He came to the spot, drove our car himself, and brought us safely to the hotel. Mr. Harish Kumar is a truly kind-hearted person. We stayed there for three days. The experience felt like staying with family. I will definitely stay with Mr. Harish again on my next visit to Manali. The location shown on Google Maps is not accurate. It takes you through a longer and confusing route. The actual hotel is in a different place than what appears on the map. First-time visitors may find it difficult to reach without local help. Proper signboards or an updated map pin would make it easier to find.
- Omkar (10/5): loved the stay - loved the stay the view and the staff was really very cooperative. food is also good must try the maggi in mountains
- Record (10/5): -
- Zaid (10/5): - We were four friends visiting Manali looking for a place that felt like family and we found that feeling at ArtBuzz Manali. The food was delicious and the front office team was very warm and welcoming. A big thanks to Mr. Harish Bhaiya ji, who made everything special and made us feel at home. Truly a memorable stay
- Choudhary (10/5): - The stay was very good and the staff behaviour was very polite …
And rohit bhai munish bhai nature is also very good
Must visit this place Ambience and the gaming area
- Sayantan (10/5): Cozy, scenic and highly recommend stay - The property is one of the coziest properties in Manali. The location is easy to find, and the best part is its situated in between apple orchards. The view from the balcony is also very nice, overlooking the Manali valley. We enjoyed the food, and had a great time socialising with other hostellers during movie and bonfire nights. Overall highly recommended! Nothing as such
- Nilesh (9/5): - The staff member Ajay was helpfull!
- Aditya Sunit (10/5): -
- James (5/5): - Heavy construction noise, room felt kind of old and rundown.
- Goyal (10/5): -
- Yousef (10/5): - Highly recommend. The best stay in Old Manali. Affordable and gets the luxury feeling compared to other properties we have seen here. Food is great.
- Apoorv (9/5): Good & comfortable stay in old manalo - Comfortable beds, quiet stay and friendly staff. Wifi was not working when we were there.

- Manav (10/5): Will visit again for sure . My family loved and enjoyed the stay . Staff was really helpful - It was really a great stay
- Ratra (10/5): Exceptional -
- Vidhya (10/5): Exceptional - Located at a great location and good scenic views near by Nothing just that kitchen services would have been better if there were more options
- Tayisa (1/5): Founders should see the ground reality, where's the vibe ?? - View is good. A lot of things- a broken pool table, drunken staff, tasteless food, unhygienic kitchen and the dirtiest washroom ever seen in my life. Despite telling these things to staff about their situation the reaction I received was a smiling face as they were high on drugs. I came to this property on the basis on reviews and founder video telling about that they have pool table in all property but whose gonna maintain them. Do not believe on reviews mostly are fake. Not at all satisfied. Extremely disappointed.
- Same (1/5): plz don't go this hostel - nothing for like everything is don't like
- Kumaar (10/5): Exceptional -
- Yash (6/5): Okayish stay, won’t prefer to stay again though.. - View from property is good, and it is in quiet locality. Budget stay option. 1. Road to the property is rough, and filled with open drainage lines which smell bad.
2. Reception is mostly unanswered.
3. Need to give multiple followups for basic stuff - towels, soaps etc. highly unorganised.
4. The hostel “vibe” is clearly missing. Zostel and hosteller are much more professional.
- Rahul (8/5): Very good -
- Nitin (10/5): Exceptional - Property is good as like a new and price is reasonable

- Deepak (9/5): Superb - I stayed at this property for more than a month... In between I had some payment related issues due to which I couldn't make the payment but I assured them that payment would be done asap .... Abhisek and Sachin these people managed very well...location is good you get a wide view from the balcony of each room! The location is surrounded by apple trees so if you go there during season time you get to eat a lot of fresh apples 😀
- Rao (1/5): Bad - Hotel was closed with nobody to attend in the reception, calls made to enquire wasn’t picked so we had to look for other hotels Complete hotel was closed with not even a single light switched on

- Udit (6/5): Pleasant - View, Room, space Food wasn't value for money, the location where it is situated is inside and the roads there aren't very suited for all types of vehicles.
- Vivek (5/5): Passable - The rooms were spacious. They were able to do early checkin There is no connectivity or approaching road to the hostel. You need to hike for 15 minutes to get to the nearby market
The kitchen was not clean, there was open flour, rice, used utensils all over the kitchen
It takes about 2 hours in traffic to reach the hotel from the mall road, when it is only 2.5 km away.
