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
