I stayed in hotel kalinga grand in the November of 2014 with my family . it is a good budget hotel in manali . we did pre-bookings so we got the rooms easily.
The rooms were well furnished and bathrooms were cleaned and having the facility of hot and cold water both. The location of the hotel is awesome, it is situated near the hill.
I loved the view from balcony. The staff behaviour was not that much good they need to be trained . there was WiFi and gym also in hotel.
But gym was not that much good. Restaurant was good specially the ambience inside the restaurant was lovely. Food was yummy . I enjoyed the stay and surely recommend hotel kalinga grand to stay with family.
