“Home away from Home”

Reviewed May 15, 2013 NEW

From the moment we arrived at Drifters Inn, we knew we’re at home. The place is so cozy with the ambience and surroundings and of course the weather. Me and my wife, we loved the place coz of its simplicity and the location, with the scenic himalayan range waking us up to the perfect view. The rooms are clean, cozy... More

A chilled out environment… Comfortable stay and awesome food… The rooms were clean.. you literally have to make yourself at home as there is no room service… so you are responsible to maintain the place clean and tidy. The best thing about the place is that they don’t over sell it and give any wrong expectation. Very honest to state... More

“Best place we stayed in India!”

Nishant IS THE MAN. Literally the most helpful and friendly guy. He sorted us out with everything. If you're staying in manali the go here. Rooms are good value, foods good but quite pricey. Good location, really nice restaurant/ cafe. We thoroughly enjoyed enjoyed our stay. From Toby and the other English guys. Peace out.

“"Drifters Inn & Cafe" - A very nice place to stay”

Reviewed March 19, 2013

We stayed at Drifters just after their reopening in march. Must say its a very nice place to stay and a 'no-nonsense' hotel. The amenities are all what is exactly required for a comfortable stay - clean rooms, clean bedding, clean shower, peaceful stay. And since this is in old Manali village, its away from the hustle-bustle of crowd in... More

“Nishant - an exceptional host”

Reviewed February 7, 2013

Drifters inn is not the best hotel you'll ever stay at but it definitely has the biggest heart. Nishant is a pleasure to be around, and is helpful from the get go. Rooms are lovely and overlook the beautiful manali mountains. The bathrooms are clean, the music is great and the restaurant is fantastic.

Dear Guest, I often introduce Drifters' as "a cozy place with a big heart". And now it gives me tremendous pleasure to hear you acknowledge the same. Thank you :) And thank you for choosing to stay with us and for giving us an opportunity to serve you. We'll continue doing what we do best. Wish you great times ahead.... More
