I stayed here for 15 nights. The staff were helpful, well-mannered and very friendly. Property is within a 5-minute walking distance from Laxman Jhula, it’s a 4-storey building and is very clean. Plenty of facilities available, including a gym and swimming pool (although I didn’t use them). The breakfast at its Holy Oven is very tasty, which caters for both Indian and Western tastes. The room service meal delivery is very quick and is available 24-hours. I would not hesitate to come back to this wonderful hotel and its wonderful staff. Thank you for a great stay.

Not the fault of the hotel but there was a lot of building work going on close by that seemed to go on well into the night. Also barking dogs were a bit noisy on occasions. A good pair of earplugs is all that’s needed!

The room was spacious, impeccably clean, and ideally located in a central area, making it easy to walk to a variety of shops and cafes, or hop on a tuk-tuk to explore further. The staff were exceptionally friendly and always eager to assist, greeting guests with warm smiles. Despite being situated on a bustling main road, the hotel was remarkably quiet, with very little outside noise making its way in. I especially loved the serene yoga space, where I could enjoy my self-practice in a calm and peaceful environment. Another highlight was the delicious Indian breakfast offered, which was fresh, flavourful, and a perfect start to the day. This hotel truly exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend it. I will definitely stay here again when I visit Tapovan.

Absolutely nothing.

The location of Holy River near the Ganges creates a serene and peaceful ambiance, perfect for those looking to relax and unwind in Rishikesh. The rooms were exceptionally spacious, clean, and well-equipped, offering more comfort than we anticipated. From the layout to the amenities provided, everything was thoughtfully designed to create a welcoming environment. The reception staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, always available to answer questions and provide assistance with a genuine smile. Even the security personnel at the gate were attentive and courteous, adding to the warm, inviting atmosphere of the hotel. The combined effort of the team made us feel truly welcomed and valued as guests, making it a memorable experience overall.

The breakfast service could use some improvement. There was a noticeable lack of attention from the waitstaff, as we often had to ask for basic items, which interrupted the flow of the meal. Additionally, the selection of breakfast items felt limited and could be enhanced with more options to better cater to a variety of tastes. While the in-room dining was enjoyable, a more attentive and well-organized breakfast experience would make the overall stay even more satisfying.

I had an incredible stay at Holy River Hotel! The front desk staff were extremely helpful in providing recommendations for activities and scheduling. The breakfast was pretty great as well! The room I had was nice, clean, and spacious. The hotel also helped organize airport pickup and drop-off! While I didn't use the gym, spa, or yoga hall services, they also looked quite solid! Will highly recommend Holy River Hotel to friends and family who plan on visiting Rishikesh!

The walls are somewhat thin, so you can hear what's going on in the hallways next to your room. The shower also takes quite a bit of time to heat up. Both of these I found were minor nuisances and not extreme concerns.

It’s impeccable, from service provided by staff to cleanliness, level of comfort, just top notch.

The area where it’s located. For most people, it’s a plus. This is my first time in India, so all the hustle and bustle of the area scared me. I spent 6 nights at this hotel, so gradually I was able to leave the hotel and explore the area a little. Important to point out that once you are inside the hotel, you don’t hear city noises. The sound proofing is excellent.

In this hotel the staff is excellent. Always ready to help at any time. Specifically, the Desk Manager Mr. Suraj Gupta and Miss. Harjeet, these 2 are very sensible and most knowledgeable people. Also at Breakfast,Lunch and dinner Mr. Jaydevsighji is brilliant in managing the food and refreshments for guests. Jaydevsingh is the person behind the well managed and well organized morning breakfast, and the room service under Jaydevsingh's supervision deserves 10 out of 10. I strongly recommend Hotel Holly River for everyone. In this hotel, hygiene and health and shower facilities are excellent. And they installed 2 separate elevator. 1 for guests and 1 for staff, so no more waiting and wasting of time. Truly speaking, Hotel Holy River is a gem in the crowd of other hotels. For Rishikesh, your best stay can be only Hotel Holy River.

Nothing can be disliked here in Holy River.

We stayed for three nights at the Holy River, culminating in the Rishikesh Holi celebrations. From the moment walking through the door the staff were exceptional. The rooms are spacious, clean and ours had a river view. This hotel is excellent value for money. We had come from a five star hotel in Rishikesh, that was three times the price, and was nowhere near as comfortable, and certainly not as well located. We highly recommend staying here for its position to everything, comfort and value.

Nothing

Holy river hotel is well-built with nice finishes and western quality. Staff were helpful and accommodating. The rooms and bathrooms were clean. Beds and linen comfortable. Ac, tv and appliances all worked. But couldn’t find many English movies/ channels. Restaurant is downstairs and there is no view on the property of the river but it is very good food, not too expensively priced. Except the penne arrabiata pasta- which was too sweet. Main entrance is off side road- not on Laxman jhula road. Pool area is much better than the pictures show. it’s clean and has lounge chairs and swing chairs.

The western food on the menu is average (with the exception of pancakes), but the Indian options are very tasty.

The location was great - Tapovan is a nice place to stay. It’s close to all the amenities we wanted to use like white water rafting, yoga and good cafes, restaurants and shops. The hotel staff were really nice too - friendly and helpful. It was clean, warm and the bed was really comfortable! Would definitely recommend this hotel and would return. They also have spa and stream/sauna and a beautiful, equipped yoga shala for guests to use. I loved practicing here!

Nothing.

The location is in the central part of Rishikesh, close walks to beaches or a short auto/walk to Ram Jhula bridge. Staff was welcoming & accommodating. Breakfast was small but good. Fresh breads were great. 👍🏽Shops & restaurants in the immediate area are great. Room Service was quick & delicious.

There was some noise on the first night, but staff did all they could to ensure my subsequent nights were peaceful (as i was waking early each day for activities and prayers).
