Great place with amazing views! The place is in the middle of a forest, a very quiet and relaxing place, beautiful. The guy who runs it is really nice and flexible with everything, and a great cook too! I highly recommend it.

What wasn't amazing? The owners, Ishan & Ishan, do an amazing job a creating a relaxing vibe in the hostel. The views from the balcony or rooftop terrace are marvelous. All the different food we had was delicious. We went on a small expedition with the owners (real naturelovers and experts) on a unknown track and had a beautiful experience full of nature. Last but not least, the bed was really good :)

A quaint and relaxing getaway, just a trek away from both Dharamkot and Mcleodganj. The rooms were clean, the food was hearty and the staff were incredibly polite and helpful. A perfect spot to crash if you need some time off for yourself or if you want to meet new people, as well. An excellent stay all around. :)

Amazing stay! To begin with hospitable and amazing manager Lakshya, amazing location just 10/15min walk down to all social areas and market, or walk up for peaceful walk, grab coffee on the way to water fall in this amazing cafe in the middle of nowhere (Sunset cafe). Hostel is great value for money, has little cafe with great view and if you feel like socialising.

Staying at Friends with Alizeh was truly an unforgettable experience. The place itself is amazing, with a vibrant atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at home. The people are incredibly friendly, adding a warm and welcoming touch to the stay. Alizeh, the host, is nothing short of amiable and caring. She goes out of her way to ensure that every guest is comfortable and well taken care of. Her hospitality is genuine, and it shines through in every interaction. The food was simply delicious, with each meal reflecting the care and thought put into its preparation. I was also impressed by how clean and well-maintained the entire place was, adding to the overall comfort. Additionally, the location is perfect, offering easy access to local attractions while still providing a peaceful retreat. The accommodation itself is beautifully decorated, with thoughtful touches that made the stay feel special. I wholeheartedly recommend Friends with Alizeh to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable stay. It's a place where you can truly relax and feel at home.

    We spent a few days at Thrillomania and were pleasantly surprised by the kindest of the staff. We spent some time with Rajesh who was so kind, he helped us with anything we needed help with and guided us with things to do in Dharamashala. The hostels in a great location, with a short walk into each 3 different areas of Dharamashala, which was great for us. Definitely would recommend this hostel if you’re coming to Dharamashala!

    This is the perfect hostel to stay. I fully enjoyed my time there. Big thanks for management. They were not only friendly but also caring. As a solo girl traveler, I felt very safe and like at home. The common area is very comfy and cozy, we watched movies, played games and overall had a lot of fun. The food was very tasty, and you will have enough options. The room and bed were clean and pretty well designed. You can always meet new people and make some new friends. Good people and good travelers community are there.
