The hostel is good and the view from the hotel is awesome, but the area is terrible. It's inside a village in Old Manali and the path is very narrow. The area is horrible and felt unsafe. On the way to the hostel, you might encounter Snake🐍which is terrible. I will highly recommend staying at Mall Road rather than Old Manali. It will also save you transportation cost which is very costly, as you must go to Mall Road everyday for having your lunch/dinner, or for entertainment.
