One of the best hotels to stay in Manali in winter. Breathtaking was the snow capped view from the room when the sun was rising. Christmas eve Gala dinner was fantastic, though the music was nt christmassy !. Rooms were spacious, warm and cosy amidst minus temperature outside.First set of stairs to access the lift to the rooms is difficult for seniors and tall persons. Efficient and friendly staff all round. if visiting Solang it's better to start very early to avoid the terrible traffic.

I recently stayed at Manuallya Resort in Manali and was thoroughly impressed. The breathtaking views of the Himalayas were truly mesmerizing, adding an extra layer of tranquility to my stay. The service was exceptional, with Mr. Siddharth and Mr. Kanchan going above and beyond to swiftly resolve any issues that arose during my stay. The property itself is impeccably maintained, and the rooms were both cozy and comfortable, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploring. I highly recommend Manuallya Resort for anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing getaway in the beautiful mountains of Manali.

The accommodation was superb with a fantastic view of the Beas River from my balcony. The rooms were spacious, and clean with all amenities. The air conditioning was good. The WiFi signal was excellent. Room service and Housekeeping services were excellent. The staff was well behaved, well mannered and prompt in service. An exclusive dinner for my family and friends was arranged on our request in the hall near the Bar by Mr. Narender Rana. It was a memorable experience. Mr. Narender Rana- the Resident Manager was always ready to solve our queries with a smiling face. The food during dinner and breakfast was hygienic and delicious. The swimming pool was well maintained and our children enjoyed swimming there. The spa was excellent with great relaxation of body & mind. I want to stay again in this property for a longer duration to rejuvenate ourselves.

This is a beautiful property with wonderful view. The balcony rooms are amazing with the mountain view and very spacious. You can even spend a day in the property itself by roaming around as it's location is very scenic. The food is also very good considering the quality and taste. They have very friendly staff who provided us with good service. Only one issue was the heater could have been a little more effective, but it's not bad considering Manali is a cold place. However they helped us by providing an extra heater in the room. Overall it was an amazing property to stay and we enjoyed it. Plus, there is a helicopter ride in the property, if you want you can go for it, it might be a little expensive but the experience was amazing.

Bite into a Parsimmon or take in lungfuls of Pir Panjal and the Dhauladhar- the Manuallaya has it all and in bushels. There on a shoot for a Telegu film, it was a release from the grim COVID spectre and a tiny break. Trouts for dinner and breakfasts of luscious fruits and Indian and my choice of eggs & toast replenished us. The one hour journey to the engineering marvel that's the Tunnel that takes you to the magical Lahaul, is splendid. The Spa and swimming pool were shut, but that's the bane of the times. The service was superlative even procuring what we needed from town. Business was indeed sweet pleasure! Thank you Manuallaya.

This is a lovely hotel over looking the snow capped mountains. The best this above all is the service. The restaurant staff is great they prepared a traditional meal for our dinner.

As the staff is so nice it makes it very homely.

The view of the snow capped peaks from your room and balcony is not to be missed from this amazing resort. It makes it super easy to witness the sunrise so get a mountain and river facing room please ! We had all meals there and it was the best food anywhere in our Himachal trip. They had dishes from numerous cuisines and the staff went above and beyond is bringing hot Rotis right to the table ! The delicious buffet is not to be missed ! Thanks to the staff for our amazing stay !

We had stayed here for 3 nights from 26th to 28th May and would really like to say that this is the best place to stay in Manali if you are travelling with family and particularly kids.
Its a well maintained property with such a beautiful garden ... you will find so many flowers and all variety of roses in their garden .. a Lot of kids amenities so that they can spend their time on their own and enjoy like childrens park which is very big with all kind of swings and amenties, a duck pond , a rabbit den
The rooms are well maintained and with all 5 star amenities...
Their USP is their hospitality and special thanks to Naveen the front desk guy to always be there for you
The hotel also have its own helipad and you can have a helicopter ride over Manali and Rohtang from the hotel itself
Special thanks to Chirag Chadha for arranging all tours and activities in the most professional way
And lastly thank you to the owner couple who always be around and give their personal touch to all the aspects of the hotel
It was really good to see them around during breakfast and interacting with all guests
Thank you Manu Allaya for giving us life time memories of our holiday

Located near vashisht temple ,this beautiful property is a little different from other resorts in the town, it's vintage feel gives you a retro Hollywood movie experience and makes you want to extend your stay or keep atleast 1 day just for the property. The staff is welcoming and will go beyond their limits to make you feel comfortable. They have several gardens, a duck pond, swings for children, they offer a helicopter ride (chargeable) , their heated pool is sun controlled, please check if it is functional before checking in. Two things that were not keeping up with the Feel are A) the plumbing system in the property is faulty B) there kitchen is very weak, the breakfast buffet reminds you of a 2 star lodge , whatever they serve is tasty but options are less and portion size is not generous.

It was a great experience staying at Manuallaya. We stayed in a deluxe room. It was huge and very comfortable for the three of us. The bathroom was clean with a bathtub and continuous flow of hot and cold water. The view from the balcony was excellent. The staff were friendly and service was quick. The Resort has a huge space to walk around. It also has a swimming pool and spa. The food was also very good. A highly recommended resort in beautiful Manali.
