The hotel has nice accomodation. It's clean. Morning breakfast is also good. However this hotel is not good for tourists with self drive cars. The main locations like ram jhula etc are quite congested and you need to take public transport. Not very convenient.

I had a wonderful experience staying at this place. I rented a family room, which can accommodate four people. The rooms are clean, big, and equipped with all conveniences.

Holy Water rocks!
We enjoyed this hotel the most on our entire 5 week trip to India. From the time we arrived we felt welcome. We loved the spiritual atmosphere very much. The restaurant staff were just as great. As westerners, we just can’t handle the spiciness of Indian cuisine, and the staff was very accommodating. They remembered to make sure we had food at every meal that was delicious. We enjoyed the Aarti at the main hotel as well, but liked the atmosphere of Holy Water better. We can’t say enough good things about the hotel.

Staff attentive once we got there . However, was little concerned about the hotel sending emails repeatedly to pay before we got there and send the id on line . I was not looking for any additional stress from the hotel and threat of cancellation if I didn’t respond. Thank you

A highlight of Rishikesh
Second stay at this property. Returned because this hotel is one of a kind. Host Kanchan treats guests like family, like royalty. The accommodations are quite comfortable and well appointed. Restaurant is top notch. Spa at sister property Ganga Kinare was a highlight of my visit to Rishikesh. Rahul is a master at his art. Looking forward to returning many more times to come.

Excellent stay. Room was clean and spacious. The receptionist Kanchan made our stay excellent. We had a number of places we wanted to visit and she sat with us and did all the arrangements making our trip wonderful. She was so accomodating to all our needs. We were safe at all times and very comfortable. Very friendly staff.

The Varr restaurant with temple food was beautifully laid out, the food was amazing. Rooms are very nice. Staff also very friendly. The area is not the best but it has the benefit of being the sister to Hotel Ganga Kinare, with access to a private Ghaat plus other amenities (spa, restaurant, bicycles, etc) and access to the walkway along the Ganga.
