I was in Manali a few days back and I stayed at the Aspiring 6 Elements (Apna Cottage) hotel as a part of my tour package. It was a choice I made and I am so proud of it. During our two-night stay, we enjoyed two breakfasts and two dinners at the hotel, and they were absolutely amazing. The variety of dishes served were deliciously prepared, making us feel right at home. The hygienic kitchen and the provision of early breakfast were added bonuses. Despite the regular meal times being from 8 to 10, the staff went out of their way to accommodate our schedule by preparing special sandwiches for us when we had to leave early in the morning for our tour. These sandwiches were equally fantastic and served as a testament to their exceptional service.
Speaking of service, I must commend the staff at Aspiring 6 Elements as their friendly and helpful nature added an extra layer of comfort, and we truly appreciated their warm hospitality. Initially, we were a bit skeptical about being allocated a room on the top floor, as the thought of climbing to the fourth floor daily seemed daunting. However, the staff quickly put our worries to rest by reminding us of the treks we had already accomplished during our trip. And let me tell you, the climb was definitely worth it! The view from our room was nothing short of exquisite. We found ourselves wanting to keep the window open all day long, captivated by the awe-inspiring sight of snow-capped mountains in the distance.
The scenic beauty of the surrounding mountains was truly mesmerizing and added an enchanting touch to our stay. The opportunity to witness the snow-covered peaks from our room was a dream come true. And it wasn't just the view from our windows and balcony, but even the size of the room. It was huge, clean and gave us good breathing space. It felt amazing to stay there with all the elements that it provided.
Overall, our experience at Aspiring 6 Elements (Apna Cottage) was nothing short of exceptional. The delightful meals, impeccable service, and the breathtaking view made our stay truly memorable. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Manali, as it offers the perfect blend of homely comfort and captivating natural beauty. Thank you, Aspiring 6 Elements (Apna Cottage), for providing us with an...
Read moreI recently had a truly disappointing stay at 6th element apna hotel , and I feel compelled to share my experience so others can avoid making the same mistake.
From the moment my group arrived, the issues began. First, we were greeted by unprofessional staff who seemed disinterested in our arrival. There was a lack of proper communication, both in cleanliness and comfort. Room quit good but the bathroom had a lingering unpleasant smell.
What truly ruined the experience, however, was the management. Upon checking out, the hotel management accused my group of stealing pillow covers, which was both bizarre and insulting. We were blamed for taking them home, despite no one in our group even considering such an action. The accusation felt baseless and unfair, especially given the circumstances we had dealt with during our stay.
The manager’s approach was unprofessional and unhelpful throughout the entire ordeal. Instead of attempting to resolve the issue in a calm and rational manner, the manager was rude and dismissive. And he chose to point fingers at paying guests. This left a sour taste for everyone in our group, and we felt unfairly treated and targeted.
I would strongly advise anyone considering this hotel to stay away. The poor service, lack of professionalism, and hostile management made what should have been a relaxing trip into an incredibly stressful experience. This was not a one-off issue; everything from the state of the rooms to the handling of complaints showed a complete lack of care or concern for the guests.
I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone, and I strongly suggest finding another place to stay to avoid the hassle, frustration, and poor treatment we...

Worst Hotel Experience: Rude Manager and Unacceptable Conditions
I recently had the misfortune of staying at this hotel, where the manager, Mr. Prakash, displayed appalling behavior. Despite paying a decent amount, we were treated poorly and subjected to unreasonable rules. We've faced this issue
Paper-thin walls allowed conversations from other rooms to be clearly heard. Mr. Prakash repeatedly visited our room, complaining about noise levels, despite our TV volume being at 15 out of 100. He cited a family above our room needing to wake up early, but we were not being loud. On the second night, he complained again, this time about the number of people sitting on the bed (5) and chairs (3), stating only 3 people could sit on the bed. This rule was never mentioned before. After checking out, Mr. Prakash accused us of taking a pillow cover, blaming us for a minor item worth ₹100.
The manager's behavior was rude, unprofessional, and partial. The hotel's conditions were unacceptable, with thin walls and unreasonable rules. I've stayed in over 100 hotels, and this experience was by far the worst. Avoid this hotel...
