    Terrible Stay

    shraddha.solo

    Disappointing Stay – Poor Hygiene and Amenities I had a very disappointing experience during my stay. The room was not clean – the bed and pillowcases were visibly dirty, and the washroom was also not maintained properly. Even the jars and bottles provided in the room were unclean. The Wi-Fi didn’t work at all throughout my stay, which made things even more inconvenient. On top of that, there were frequent power outages, which was extremely frustrating. Overall, not worth the money, and I wouldn’t recommend staying here until these issues are addressed.

    Dorms and common area are pretty decent. The food is as usual a bit expensive when compared to already expensive food prices in rishikesh. Water dispenser isn't available on every floor, in our case we stayed on 1st floor and had to go to a floor above or below to get water. Also the staff seems overtly adamant that you buy their rafting package, which was more expensive than that of the most rated one. Overall satisfied but these things should be improved

    AVOID THIS PLACE WITH NO ELECTRICITY!!

    rahul n.couple

    The room is really small, the dimensions are poor also within 5 hours of our stay the light was gone for 3 hours and nothing was done by the staff. Also poor pricing on the hostel prices. Do not go to this, the staff does not care about you. The toilet was used and therw was dust everywhere. If you're a hygienic person or a couple do not travel here.
