    I recently stayed at Live Free Hostel in Rishikesh with my friend, and it was an amazing experience. The atmosphere was very positive and peaceful, and we felt relaxed and happy throughout our stay. The staff were super friendly and helpful, especially Divyans and Amber—thank you both for making our visit even better! Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Rishikesh.

    saurav v.solo

    Perfect spot to stay in Rishikesh. This property is equidistant to all the famous eateries and places in Rishikesh. Easy connectivity, on property cafe and two-wheeler renting options are available. Staff is super helpful, makes you feel like home, they also have 2 Happiness Managers who greet you on 4 legs (Dogs ofc)! Great for solo travellers, they will treat you like your own family! Will recommend everyone to try this atleast once when in Rishikesh!
