    So, my stay in hippie panda was very comfortable. You'll find some crazy good people there, who are passionate about traveling and their work. The hosts there, Sachin and Kabir bhai will make you feel like home. You must try this hostel and meet these people. Stay, food, workspace, common area, location with the price is justified.

    Poor Stay

    prajwal w.family

    Don't go for this property if you are travelling with family. Oddly located, in the middle of old manali, one need to have a trek to go to the property (I mean it is a steep climb, not recommended for family at all), also the room was smelly and the rooms don't have fans and a/c, the bathrooms were terrible. Please spend some more money and take some other property, not recommended..

    The stay was good and the check-in process was also smooth and the host was also very sweet. The rooms were clean and quiet and also the dorm concept is also cheap and affordable for solo travelers like me.

    loyalty-iconfamily with 1 kid

    make sure to examine the property location beforehand, there is no proper way to reach the hostel, only option is to climb stairs which are not at all in a good condition, if you are visiting in winters for snowfall, please dont opt for this property unless you have proper snow shoes, you can fall terribly.

    Terrible Stay

    anjali r.

    terrible experience our stay was a complete disappointment. there was no power backup for more than 12 hours, leaving us without electricity throughout the night, which was extremely inconvenient. room service was inefficient—towels were provided only after 1.5 hours and repeated requests. even basic orders, like two cups of tea, took over an hour to be delivered. the bathrooms were smelly and unhygienic, adding to the discomfort. overall, the lack of proper management and poor facilities made this an unforgettable but entirely unpleasant experience.. no

    The location of the place is very convenient. In the heart of the old manali road, near all the nice cafes and everything and very close the mall road as well. Added to that we had a very hassle free swift checkin and a pretty cozy stay.

    My stay was pleasant. Hostel location is bit far from the mall road but it's worth to go. We will feel like in to the nature.
