Had a really nice stay at Joye’s by the Gunges Hostel in Rishikesh. The vibe is super relaxed and friendly, perfect for meeting other travelers. Staff is helpful and makes you feel comfortable right away. Location is great—close to the Ganga and main spots, but still peaceful. Rooftop and common areas are a big plus for hanging out and unwinding. Overall, a great place if you’re looking for a fun, social, and budget-friendly stay in Rishikesh. Would definitely recommend!
Honestly, one of the best places I’ve stayed at, made even better by the people. Shout-out to Vaasu and Diksha for making the stay so comfortable and welcoming. This was my second time staying here, and I know for a fact that every time I come back, I’ll be staying at Joey’s.
I’ll be recommending this place to my friends, family, and anyone reading this. Book without a second thought.
Also, if you’re a solo traveler, this is your place, trust me. They have the best community. Can’t wait to be back again😋🤗
An amazing place by the Ganga ghat. Best for solo travellers and people who prefer hostels over hotels. Near and tidy place. Has a rooftop scenic view of the river Ganga. Overall a good place to stay for 2-3 days.
Honestly, possibly one of the best properties in the entirety of Rishikesh. The location is excellent, the view from the cafe is amazing and so is the vibe. Met tons of solo travellers here on the weekend, partied with them as well right on the rooftop with the weekend nights they organise.
The dorms are clean and tidy with curtains and wooden beds. Most of the staff is extremely welcoming and helpful, Vikram, Aman, Vishal just to name a few. The only complaint I have is that cafe takes forever to make your food.
Tip : Get the 10-Bed Ganga View Dorm for an absolutely amazing and quiet view of the ganga right from your dorm. Or, get the 14-Bed dorm to get that really large dorm with the signature moon ceiling which is present in the first picture. Rest of the dorms are pretty average in other ways. Also, in case it was not obvious, this is not at all a family-friendly place. But an absolute blast if you're solo or with friends. Also, they don't allow alcohol consumption on property in front of others ;)
I had an amazing stay at Joey’s Hostel! The hospitality here is truly outstanding. The staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. From check-in to check-out, they made sure everything was comfortable and smooth.
The rooms and common areas were clean, well-maintained, and had a very positive vibe. The atmosphere is perfect for meeting new people while still feeling safe and relaxed. The team goes the extra mile to make guests feel at home, whether it’s helping with travel plans, recommendations, or just creating a fun environment.
