goStops Manali Reviews

Set in a beautiful natural environment, House of Amigos is a surprisingly modern backpackers hostel with a truly Western concept and design. Its courtyard is the perfect place to relax and its common room is really trendy and has excellent heating. However, the hygienic standards of the hostel definitely have to improve.

The Location

The hostel is located in the most touristy part of Old Manali amongst tour agencies, souvenir shops, and Western-style cafes and restaurants. It is an ideal location for discovering the town as every sight and attraction is about the same distance from here. Hanuman Temple and the adjacent nature trail are about thirty minutes from here on foot while Manu Temple and the sunrise point are only about fifteen minutes. To walk down to the river and The Club House also won't take you more than ten minutes. There are also several trekking routes starting only a few minutes from the hostel and as the reception functions as a tour agency, they will be happy to assist you with the planning of your hikes.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The hostel offers three floors' worth of rooms, the majority of which are dorms. There are also female-only dorms available. The rooms have fun names, are extremely spacious, clean, and furnished really tastefully with modern, youthful design. Each person also gets a separate locker. However, they have a serious problem with rodents entering the place and leaving droppings on the blankets. According to the owner, they tried to get rid of them but they keep returning. The en suite bathrooms are nice and have toilet paper, but they could be a little bigger.

Common Spaces

The common areas include the courtyard where breakfast is served for an additional charge and where you can relax throughout the day and enjoy the view of the mountains around. Moreover, there is a really creatively equipped indoors common area, which has the added bonus of providing heating. This space has mattresses, pillows, board games, a TV, video games, and a drinking corner. The only off-putting aspect is that many members of the staff sleep here, so in the morning it might be awkward to enter. Every day, there is a different activity organised, which can include karaoke parties, movie nights, and cooking classes. The kitchen can also be used outside of meal preparation hours after getting the staff's permission.

Summary

All in all, House of Amigos is unique amongst Indian hostels because of its modern design and amenities. International backpackers particularly love it for its heated common area and the evening programs offered. However, they definitely need to handle their problem with rodents to avoid the spread of diseases.
