The property is beautiful and quiet. It is perched above the town, with grand views of the mountain peaks and the valley below. The grounds are lush, scenic, and clean. The architecture of the buildings is superb. There is a trail from the property, through the orchards, that you can use to walk into town and is a great alternative to walking on the road. Also fairly easy to catch autos from the gate or nearby Hadimba temple. There’s a great Italian restaurant next door. We had a two bedroom cottage, with a kitchen and dining room. It was very nice, as we had 2 children with us. The beds are very comfortable. The breakfasts by the pool were amazingly good. We usually had lunch in town and dinners at the hotel. The food is delicious, and the menu has a lot of variety. The quality of the service is also very good. The staff is friendly, attentive, professional, and accommodating. I would highly recommend this hotel. I would easily stay here again.

I gave a 5 star review to this hotel during my first visit in Nov 2019 and the staff was super friendly. But January 2021 visit was a total different experience. The staff was non friendly this time, I wanted to extend the stay and informed the manager but he had NO courtesy to revert back with any status. Finally, I booked another hotel and stayed there. I only like this hotel for its location and beautiful cottages.

Book with caution and Don't book if witj family
We chose The Himalayan based on the user ratings and recommendations. Honest feedback, don't travel to this Hotel with family. To begin with we checked in by 2 pm but our rooms weren't ready, the equipments ( Gyeser, Microwave, Heater(AC)) were disfunt. Room service, front office is least bothered given that they have realised their money. After prolonged delay, finally we were given another room ~ 8 pm evening by then the family had already given up and my little kid was tired to core. At every touch point - Restaurant service, front office, house keeping each of the departments don't understand basic customer service and they treatment is obnoxious. I strongly recommend if you are planning a stay with family best to avoid this place. It's more of a bag packers place.

Stayed there for 4 days in mid Dec 2019. Hotel is very well maintained, and staff are friendly and very polite. GM Mr Vivek Thakur provided great personalised service and attention. We got an upgrade to a lovely 2BR cottage as we arrived early and our Family Room was not ready. The weather was very cold, below zero on some days - staff were very obliging, providing additional heating pillar in each room upon our request (no built-in heating in the cottage). Excellent service standards. Be careful of what you eat though if you're not from India - some of us had upset stomachs after having cold yogurt and salads.

It is a Heritage or boutique property so someone who prefer radisson would never like this kind of property and rooms. It is expensive for no reason.

Peaceful & Quaint
After a lot of research, I finally zeroed in on The Himalayan for my family vacation. For reference, I usually stay in hotels of the likes of JW Marriott, Westin, Conrad etc but couldn't find anything in similar category in Manali. I can say with confidence if your choice of hotels are similar to mine you won't be that disappointed with your stay at The Himalayan. The service is top notch. It's away from the bustle of the main market and the peaceful experience was precisely what we were looking for. The view of the snow clad Mountains from the hotel is a very soothing experience. Room service starts at 7.30 am and ends at 10.30 pm, so anyone looking for 24 hours service would be a little disappointed. It was a non issue for us. Overall a wonderful experience, would definitely stay here again if I visit Manali.

Amazing stay!
It was amazing! The sceneries and views are so beautiful. The facilities are awesome with superb service and comfort. The breakfast is really delicious with a good mix of western and Indian. The staffs are all polite and ready to help. Service was prompt and professional. We were able to play pool at the Dungeon upon request for a small fee. We could see snow at the tip of the mountain while having breakfast by the pool side during summer. Overall, it was a really memorable and satisfying experience staying there.

Amazing hotel and beautiful view!!
Amazing hotel with all the amenities and the view is so amazing just blissful, can imagine how beautiful it will look during snowfall. The view from the top of the hotel is just amazing, they have smartly named the deck as Crowns Palace, the food is also very good, staff is very pleasing nothing to complain about. We were to head to Rohtang and Mr. Vivek guided us tightly on the tight time to start for the sightseeing. Beautiful location, waiting to see if we can make it again during snowfall.

Very recommended. Hadimba temple in 6-7 minutes leisure walk and apart of it nothing to see in the close area. The hotel has very lovely garden

Excellent Hotel, Extraordinary Staff
We stayed at the Himalayan 4 nights. The hotel is nicely located in new Manali but is also very close to old Manali, and still far from the noisy town center, and therefore very peaceful. As a 4 persons family we ordered 2 double rooms but they surprised us and upgraded to a beautiful cottage overlooking a breathtaking view, where we could stay the 4 of us together very comfortably. Breakfast was excellent, very tasty, diverse and generous, much better than we experienced in other hotels in India. The staff was extraordinary kind, helpful and responded immediately and willingly to any request. The manager, Mr.Vivek Thakur, was so nice and helped us beyond we could expect in touring and shopping information.

relaxing stay in the mountains
we had a great stay at the Himalayan. The hotel is located at the edge of Manali, a little away from the busy roads. the mountain views are spectacular and the entire hotel is built in the style of a European castle, which is extremely well done. great atmosphere and very helpful staff - although not as fully trained up as you may expect for the price you pay for a room. the only bad thing I would point out is the curtains - they are not black-out ones and it gets light very early!

Nice holidays
If u just want to relax in the scenic beauty of Himalayas with awesome green lawns with a pool in the middle, I would recommend you this hotel. The biggest appreciation goes for their food which has the first taste you will never find in other hotels at least. Thanks for the comfortable stay...
