    harsh k.

    I recently stayed at Shiv Shakti Hostel in Rishikesh and had a very pleasant experience. The location is one of its biggest highlights – it’s right beside the Ganga river, and I could clearly see the river from my window, which made the stay even more special. The peaceful surroundings and easy access to local spots made it very convenient. The room and facilities were well-maintained. The bed was clean and comfortable, and the bathroom was spotless – something I really appreciated during my stay. The hostel overall felt hygienic and well taken care of. Although I didn’t try the food, the atmosphere and cleanliness of the common areas gave me confidence that it would be good as well. Overall, I’d recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Rishikesh who’s looking for a comfortable stay in a great riverside location.
