2-Star Hotels in Himachal Pradesh, India

My stay at The Destination Manali was incredible! The rooms were spotless, cozy, and offered stunning views of the mountains. The staff was exceptionally polite and always ready to help. The food was delicious. The hotel's location is perfect for exploring Manali, with easy access to key attractions. I had a memorable experience and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Manali.

I enjoyed my stay here overall, especially because of the peaceful garden atmosphere. It really feels like you’re staying in the middle of nature, surrounded by greenery and fresh air. In terms of cleanliness, I would say it was average. Since the property is located within a garden environment, I noticed that some areas showed signs of wear, including a bit of rust and mold in certain places. I believe there is room for improvement in maintenance and upkeep. That being said, what truly made the experience enjoyable was Kittu. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and always willing to help. He took great care of everything and made sure my stay was smooth and comfortable. His hospitality really stood out and made a positive difference. The breakfast was also delicious and freshly prepared. It was one of the highlights of my stay and a great way to start each morning. One thing to note is the location. The property is situated midway between the main areas, which means taxis do not usually pass by regularly. If you need transportation, it is best to ask the manager to help arrange a taxi for you. The property is not within walking distance of everything. It takes some time to travel down to the Dalai Lama Temple area, and it also takes a while to go up to Dharamkot. Depending on your plans, you may need to arrange transportation or be prepared for a bit of walking. Overall, if you enjoy nature, greenery, and a peaceful environment away from the crowds, this is a lovely place to stay. While the maintenance could be improved in some areas, the warm hospitality from Kittu and the tasty breakfast made the experience worthwhile.

I am a foreign traveller from Europe. From the moment I arrived at Rashal Homes, it felt good. The location is very nice..a new experience..close to Shimla but less busy, the homestay is located very close to Shoghi Main Market, in a quiet area. The owner and his family, and also the staff are very friendly. The room very comfortable! The decorations are beautiful. Good beds, soft pillows! The views are awesome, so beautiful. You can see all the way towards Shimla. Great terrace to relax and enjoy some of their delicious food or have a drink. I highly recommend Rashal Homes to all travellers!

I am a foreigner traveling in India. My stay at Mountain and Peace in Shimla was great. The owner is very friendly. Staff boy Santosh is also very good. The location is just a few km out of Shimla main city, but it's an amazing location with the best mountain views! The rooms are very comfortable. Very good beds and the bathroom is so lovely! There is a electric kettle in the room, so you can make coffee or tea (bring your own). There is a very nice TV in the room, which also supports watching YouTube, that's very nice! I highly recommend this homestay to all travellers!

My stay started with a big smile of the guy at the reception. He was very kind. As all staff is great. Good quality beds and mattresses in the dorms. Free drinking water and wifi. You must download the hostels app to open your room and locker (by Bluetooth) but it worked fine. Location pretty good, only about 3km to Kasol. If you don't have your own transport, there are often buses. I recommend this hostel to other backpackers.

Had a fantastic stay. The rooms are super comfortable snd gave everything you might need. Shower had plentiful hot water and the staff sweetly gave me a bucket of hot water too. The staff are extremely sweet and helpful, as is Karan the owner. He took a lot time and care to help with offbeat places to explore and created a truly fun itinerary to explore off the regular tourist trail. The food is excellent too. Loved my stay here especially after coming off the Pib Bhaba trek!

I had the complete dorm for myself so i had lots of space. There was even a small balcony with a great view. Everything was clean and the staff was friendly. The only thing which was missing was a bin.

This place is a bit old, but it's well-maintained. The rooms are comfortable, and the view is great. Most importantly, the hot water and electricity are stable (the WiFi is a bit slow, but topping up my Airtel 3G only cost 40 INR). The staff are friendly (Paras Lakshay and the chefs). I originally planned to stay one night but ended up extending my stay! 😎😎 It's only a 15-20 minute walk to the market and nearby Palchan. 👍👍 If you really want KFC or Domino's, it's a 30-minute walk or a 10-minute taxi ride. The accommodation management is simple; you can just chill out all day without leaving the property. You can order food via WhatsApp and have it delivered to your room, which is perfect for relaxing or for tired travelers. 😎😎 If you're coming from another city to Old ***ali/Volvo bus stand, the taxi fare can be a bit expensive, ranging from 700-1000. If you have time, you can ask about shared taxis, which cost around 50-100. 💰💰 A town worth revisiting! ❤️❤️

The Hosteller kasauli is a very nice backpacker hostel. The location is good. Not in the main market, but very peaceful. Comfortable beds, wifi. Clean place.
