Sunshine Guest House Manali

fnm500 · Oct 3rd, 2002, 05:09

-Location (city/area)-

Manali, Himachal Pradesh

-Phone/fax/email/website-

Phone: +91 (01901) 52320

-rates for rooms-

Rs. 300/night (approx €6.4/night)

-Amenities (hot shower, tv, etc)-

- Large Dressing Room
- Butler brings in hot water
- No TV, but quite apt for the fact that you're in Manali probably for the beauty of the natural surroundings & not to watch TV!

-Likes/Dislikes-

Likes:

- Old world 'colonial' feel & charm. Indeed the Hotel is some 64 yrs old if my memory serves right.
- Very few rooms so you feel like an exclusive guest
- Large, airy rooms
- Price for this exclusivity can't be beat!
- Butler makes great Paranthas & is always there for you
- Lovely balcony with great views to the mountains & garden below
- 10 min walk to 'The Mall' or downtown Manali & 5 mins to Old Manali.

Dislikes:

- Close to the main road going downtown. You hear the traffic quite clearly. The motorcycles are annoying. But very peaceful at night

I wish I could describe this lodging more accurately, but it did 'something' to me. Its not the most luxurious looking place from the inside, unlike the Mayflower which is just 2 mins down the road.Yet, the latter is atleast 4 times more expensive & doesn't have the 'natural' old world feel that this place does. You feel like you're living in your own home in Sunshine Guest House & to me thats the best part about it. 'Great atmosphere', is the best way I can sum it up.

Just wanted to add. I stayed here yesterday. It was a most fantastic guest house for a cheap price. Everything nice and utilitarian and it was not a tenth as noisy as I feared. Ofcourse, April end is not the peak season. At any rate, this would be my first choise. I wish the power plug in the room was working. Had to charge my batteries in the verandah.
