We visited manali in the month of july around 24-25th of july. the weather was nice during that time. we reached manali by bus in the evening around 6 pm. a staff person of the hotel was there at the bus stand to offer us room for rent. he speaked very nicely and didn’t forced at all. we liked his approach and decided to check the rooms. the hotel was just around the bus stand. they were offering rooms for as low as rs.500 . We liked the bigger room the rent of which was rs 600 merely. The room was spacious. I had led tv and cable tv. blankets were neat and clean. washrooms were also neat and clean. water heater was also working very good. we really enjoyed our stay over there. the hotel staff was really nice. we liked being stayed there and whenever we will visit over there again. my first prefrence would be the Hotel New Shivalik definately. I would recommend you to visit there and try them.
