Holy River Hotel

Just loved it!

Well Above Expectations I was thoroughly impressed with my recent stay at the Holy River Hotel in Hrisikesh. The hotel facilities were above expectations for their price point. The rooms were sufficiently sized and comfortable for me and my roommate. There was a nice assortment of dishes for breakfast, and everything was delicious. The staff was warm and accommodating. Akash, the on-site spa manager and masseuse, stands out as a highlight. He is friendly and went out of his way to make room in his schedule for me and other members of my travelling party to receive massage treatments while we were there. Akash is a well-trained masseuse who does exceptional bodywork. You will not regret booking a massage with him. I can't recommend the Holy River Hotel enough. I will definitely book again the next time I visit.

We stayed here for three nights in Superior Rooms. Firstly, the pro's- The rooms are clean and the hotel is located near market place and the room charges are reasonable; comparatively. The staff are well behaved. The breakfast spread is small but well prepared. The food is good. The Laxman Jhoola ( closed at present) is about 750 metres from the hotel but the road is crowded. The cons- We could not find what is the difference between the superior room and the other rooms. The rooms have no view. The bathroom was small and no glass partition in the bathing area which led to water spraying all over the walking area in the bathroom. Despite our much earlier message as senior citizens , we were not allotted adjacent rooms so we were shifted to lower floor for the same and both rooms allotted to us were different, although we had booked Superior rooms. It seems their best rooms are reserved for overseas visitors who find the hotel cheap and good and give publicity to the hotel. . The food prices were exorbitant from Rishikesh standards. The single Tawa Roti( chapati) cost Rs.80 and one paratha cost Rs.120? The Spa is one *** show and he fell sick during our stay so could not avail his services when we required. The Gym is very small and accessible only with one floor stairs. Overall, it was not a very happy stay.
