The stay was enjoyable, though the price was quite high due to the peak season. However, the excellent service and safe environment make it a great choice for solo travelers and couples alike! The only suggestion I have is to work on cleanliness. The rooms weren’t clean as per our expectations and price we paid and even mattress! Also, they shouldn’t have allowed alcohol in common area, as some boys were creating nuisance at new year party and it felt super cheap atmosphere considering it’s one of the best hostels in town!
Good location, However don't expect too much from rooms as this is a old property but justifies the price paid. Good love music on weekends. They have a TT and pool table and a good roof top sitting area. Overall liked the place. Good for friends to go with but will avoid going with family.
First of all, this place looks nothing like it's shown in the pictures. The property is terrible. But that's not the worst part, the worst part is the staff over here. I would like to talk about the manager to begin with. He is not the manager of a traveller's hostel, he is like a warden of a school/college hostel. He screams at guests, taunts them, fights with them if they are sitting and talking in the common room beyond 12 AM. After 12 AM even if people are sitting and talking, the staff would come and abruptly switch off all the lights and go. Except a few of them, all the staff members are extremely rude and mannerless, especially the manager. The only proper common area they have on the top floor, closes at 12 AM, and after that there is no place where people can sit, talk, or chill. According to the manager, the guests should go and sleep after that.
Also, this is not a hostel, it's a hotel with some dorms where they let families, guests with babies, etc check-in. If you want to get the feel like being a student who is getting screamed at by his/her strict principal, go to this hostel. There is absolutely nothing good about this place.
If the owner of this hostel is reading this review, please hire people who know how to behave and talk to guests in the hospitality industry and please incorporate the rules using some common sense.
Pretty great place to stay at an affordable rate in Rishikesh. The place is quite close to all the major attractions.
Rooms and dormitory is good. Bathrooms are clean. They have ample spaces to chill. Parking space for both the two wheelers and four wheelers are available.
People from all over India come to stay here so you can meet them share your experience around the bornfire at night and share a drink or two.
There is a cafe on premise that severs delicious food.
All in all it was a great experience.
I had an extremely disappointing experience at this hotel. The dorm was shockingly unhygienic—it felt like it hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. The blankets and cushions were visibly dirty, stained, and smelled awful, making it impossible to feel comfortable. The dormitory itself was cramped and poorly ventilated, leading to a suffocating atmosphere. It was hard to breathe, and the lack of proper maintenance made it worse. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Definitely not worth the money or the discomfort!
