Holy River Hotel

We were a group of six people staying for 7 nights. The short version: it was an excellent hotel, worth every penny. Long version: Location: very near the main road. Tons of restaurants and shops nearby. 10-12 minutes walk to the Laxman Jhula. Ram Jhula and Sivandanda Ashram is a 15-20 minutes walk away. Tip: If you are booking a full rickshaw to Ram Jhula, hire one outside the Divine Cafe (GMap it) for ₹300. The ones on the Main Road fleece customers (₹400-500). Rooms. Very luxurious 4-star level. Bright and tasteful decor. Spotlessly clean premises and rooms. Full marks to the housekeeping staff. The beds and pillows were very soft and you can sink into them (though I prefer a firmer mattress and pillow). Clean bathroom with an excellent shower. Clean towels, and necessary toiletries provided. Very polite, helpful staff. Only one negative point. The air vent acts as a heater by default in winters but it overheats the room (even at 16°C setting). It seems the setting cannot be changed. So a workaround is to keep it switched off so the room remains comfortably cool. Tip: The reception desk is on the first floor involves climbing several steps. For elderly and with knee problems, they have an elevator. Go through their restaurant Holy Oven on the ground floor to access the elevator. The restaurant Holy Oven has excellent food. I wasn't happy with their flat pancakes but the rest of the stuff is delicious. The Divine Cafe 2 minutes walk away also offers  food matching its name— simply divine! They have a Spa on the fourth floor. Masseur Akash did a great job—a blessing for limbs tired from all the walking. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here the next time I visit Rishikesh.

The best location and service in Rishikesh. Rooms are good and has all business class hotel amenities. In center of tapovan and walking distance to lakshman jhula. Nice restaurant with tasty food. They give Vaishnav good too. Has a swimming pool and courteous staff. Value for money hotel with clean rooms and service. Rooms feel fresh.

A very good hotel near lakshman jhula and tapovan. Situated at a very nice location with availability of parking. Rooms are clean and staff is very welcoming and helpful. They clean your room once in a day. The hotel has gym, spa and yoga area options too. Well maintained. They should improve on the variety of food they offer in the breakfast buffet. Loved the service by the staff.

Friendly staff, quick and easy check in, large clean and comfortable room. The breakfast was basic, but fine for a hotel of this size. Worth requesting a room on the top floor for best views and quiet. Recommended and we would stay again for sure!

Holy river hotel is in a very convenient location in Rishikesh. We stayed in for three nights and we enjoyed our stay. We would recommend this hotel.

Excellent hotel with all the amenities nearby. Very helpful staff and also looked after our driver.

Great hotel, excellent location! Wonderful staff and for Spa staff, Akash is the best for massage!

We had a night stay in this hotel on our return from Badrinath. The rooms are spacious and clean. Bed was comfortable. Our a-la-carte dinner was good. They served freshly prepared meals. Breakfast, though was not so lavish, however was good and they were prepared to serve as per our order. Overall it’s a value for money.
