Ride at Hill-Nihal Hotel & Cottage

Such an excellent stay for anyone...... management was too friendly and available at 24/7...... One of the best and budgetable stay at manali..... Their food was awesome.... Most recommended for anyone like family, friends, couples anyone.

A good place to stay in Manali if you're looking for reasonably priced, budget-friendly decent rooms in a quite & peaceful neighborhood with scenic mountainview where you can absorb the beauty of Manali to its fullest, but not far from the city centre/Mall road/bus station/market (approx 3 kms). It is surrounded by apple orchards which is an added bonus & gives you a priceless experience (not isolated trees here & there but actual orchards in acres of land. Best time to see them would be during apple harvest season). They offer multiple options-- single rooms, duplex suite, family suite, etc. So, it's suitable for all kinds of trips-- solo, couple, group, family. All basic amenities that you would look for are provided-- including room heaters as per request with extra charge per night. One of the highlights w.r.t facilities provided is the geyser which, their notice in the room categorically states, should never be turned off during your stay! So you get 24x7 hot water for bath, etc. They have generator back-up in case of power-cut which happens in hillstations. Room service, food, & assistance is just a dial away from the intercom connected to every room. Parking space is available. There is an enclosed space for bonfire party/small gathering at night (till 10pm) which can be booked. A very helpful & polite manager/owner, Mr.Rahul & his assistant are available round the clock if you need any help or assistance w.r.t your stay or if you need taxi, tourist guide, etc.

We stayed at Nihal Cottage for 2 nights and 3 days. The taxi arrived to pick us up from the bus station right in time and the hospitality thereafter was A-class. The rooms are tidy. 24/7 Hot water supply. And, the FOOD IS TO DIE FOR. Must book.
