Pros:

This is a proper hotel, conveniently located on a hill between manali and old manali near hadimba temple. Room is extremely spacious with a sofa and another sitting area. Nice view of the surroundings.
Good choice of food, swimming pool, bequtiful garden and a lounge. We alao used the laundery service.
Altough it was summer, we accepted the managers offer to light a fire in our in room fireplace which was another nice touch to this perfect stay.

Cons:

The downside of being located on a hill away from the hsustling center is that you need to climb a little by foot (or by Riksha)

Great experience! Great food! Great rooms! Great service!
Pros:

Manali as a place was extremely dirty, polluted, crowded. We went for a family holiday and The Himalyan came to our rescue. As a family with kids, it was almost impossible to venture out due to traffic/crowd. We spend almost the entire 4 days within the property. Luckily food, service, rooms, view, etc. was great!

Cons:

Loved everything about the hotel.

Highly recommended Boutique Hotel in Manali
Pros:

A hotel that leaps out of a fantasy world. The Himalayan, a true labour of love has been quite a lovely stay. The views out of the room have been worth itself.

Nishant, manning the reception was a delight to speak with. Helping out with tidbits about which places and restaurants to eat and which crowded places to avoid. All the staff were courteous, helpful and exhibited warm hospitality.

The food was quite expensive though. And the taste of the non-Indian dishes didn’t justify the high prices.

All in all the best Hotel in Manali.

Beautiful property
Pros:

The Himalayan offered me and my family a warm and appreciative welcome. Great location and beautiful scenic view. The rooms were spacious and delicious breakfast was cherry on the top. The staff was friendly and accomodating. I have been staying in this property from last 3-4 times and I have to say that i will surely be back to the beautiful place.
