    Nothing. It’s a bit far from Mall and an uphill walk from Old Manali, it wasn’t a problem for me but those who don’t like to walk uphill give it a thought.

    Shubham is an Excellent host making sure guest is comfortable. He helps with all queries.The hostel has a very young and energetic vibe. The roof top cafe is a great place to chill with fantastic views of the mountains. The food too is quite good. Neat and clean overall and the signs on the walls are very quirky.

    If you're heading to Old Manali, this place is a gem you can book without a second thought! The views are absolutely stunning, giving you that perfect mountain vibe. One of the highlights for me was the food—it's genuinely delicious. I’d highly recommend trying their daily specials—during my stay, I had their pancakes, and they were incredible! The staff is super friendly and helpful, which made the stay feel even more comfortable. The entire property is very well maintained—clean, cozy, and just the kind of space you’d want to unwind in after a day of exploring. Overall, this place offers the perfect blend of great food, beautiful views, and warm hospitality. Highly recommended if you're visiting Old Manali!

    The location is very good but the route to reach is a bit tricky because the slope is very stiff..but the facilities are good and the location is great..And the owner Shubham and Aman both are very familiar .. and they will not let you feel that you are a guest .. you will feel as if he is your friend..

    Manali vibe is dying a slow death and traveller community as a whole needs to discuss why and do something about it.

    Both Aman and Shubham (Hosts) are friendly guys and try their best to make the guests comfortable. The chai of the rooftop kitchen is indeed really really good. Kudos to the kitchen manager. I wish I could have stayed more days.

    You arrive in Manali for the start of your solo trip, you find this place in the calm streets of Old Manali. You try the food at the cafe looking at the amazing view from the roof. You think you'll chill here for a couple of days, but then you meet the hosts and people around the property. All your travel plans fail and you end up staying at firefly for a month. Great place, Great hosts, Great neighborhood & Great food.

    The property is clean and neat the host is cool and assists us patiently with our requests. The community hall in the terrace is so good where you can mingle with the fellow travellers and the view from that place is awesome. I am not a tea person. But i loved the tea from the firefly cafe. It's a must try.

    The road leading to the property can feel slightly treacherous if there's snow/ice, but that's true for many properties in Manali during the winter season

    Great staff. Very friendly and social environment. Food and drink options are good. Rooms are clean and the rooftop terrace offers stunning views of the mountains!

    Firefly is the perfect place which gives a panoramic view of the mountains of Manali. The hostel is the perfect testament of beauty. Aman and Shubham are perfect hosts with their charming nature. The energetic hikes were mind blowing. They have an exquisite menu with freshly made pizza, pasta, aloo paratha, biryani, dal makhani are ultimately delicious. To top it all its fun to watch the bubbly Nemo & Nia. If your a nature lover Firefly is the right place to stay.

    signing off from that place for a while.

    There is nothing you can list that one would not like about this place. Everything was perfect on point, the Host, the arrangements, location, view, food and all. The best past about the place was the involvement of Shubham and Aman, they make you feel the place as your second home, their vibe is amazing, it doesn't make you feel as guest, but you feel yourself as the part of their hostel family.

    I have to say nothing

    We recently stayed at a hostel located near Manu Temple, and it was an incredible experience. The views of the mountains were breathtaking, and everything about our stay was perfect. The accommodations were comfortable and cozy. A special mention goes to Shubham, the owner of the property. He was extremely helpful, and his suggestions about the local area were invaluable. Brilliant! Thank you, Shubham. We will definitely recommend this place to others.

    I had a perfect stay and experience here.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at FireFly in Old Manali, and it was an unforgettable experience. Nestled amidst the lush greenery and towering mountains, this hostel offers some of the most breathtaking scenic views I've ever encountered. The accommodations at FireFly were exceptionally comfortable and clean. The staff were incredibly friendly too. Overall, my stay at FireFly was a perfect blend of comfort, community, and natural splendor. I would highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Old Manali!!
