Indian Culture

Der Garten und der Außenbereich ist wunderschön. Auch das Essen war super lecker und wurde immer frisch zubereitet. Die Zimmer waren sehr sauber. Super Hostel ☺️.

Indian culture is a secret heaven in the middle of very crowd erea. It feels like home away from home.

May stronger water pressure would have been nice

갠지스강에 인접하여 접근이 용이 했습니다.

방이 일렬로 나란히 있습니다. 저는 1인실을 이용했어요. 현관문을 열면 바로 투숙객 통로 입니다. 밖에 사람들이 자꾸 지나가서 신경 쓰이고 시끄러웠어요. 방에 머무는 시간들이 많았는데, 밖에 사람들 때문에 커튼도 계속 닫은 상태로 있어야 해서 어둡고 침울했습니다. 저같은 내향인들은 아주 비추 입니다. 그리고 시설에 비해 비싸다고 생각 합니다.

Hygiene & ambience

Nothing as such

The ambience and the place

Staff and POC were not responding

L'ambiance calme et paisible

מקום שקט ומרכזי, עולם נפרד מהסביבה. קפיטריה מצויינת ומוהיט מדלפק הקבלה חברותי, שירותי, מלא ידע ועצות טובות והנחה אותנו במקצועיות. היה מאד כיף

Green habitation

Nothing as such

Relaxing plant filled garden, comfy communal seating, friendly vibe with interesting travellers, great restaurant, helpful staff, great location, excellent value for money and the most comfortable bed and room I’ve stayed in for two months in India. Highly recommended 😊

It was very cozy!!

This hostel is amazing! It is like a little oasis in the heart of Rishikesh. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and spacious. There is a cafe that is a great place to relax and talk with other guests. The location is fantastic, within easy walking distance of cafes, shops, temples, and places to do yoga. And the owner is so kind and generous, he makes you feel like a friend who is visiting. I'd stay here every time I come to Rishiskesh!

Very nice studio rooms. Had everything you need, AC, fridge, warm water shower and the studio is very spacious and nicely decorated. The common areas outside is also very nice and the restaurant serves good food and breakfast. The hostel has a nice location with many food options just around the corner.

Loved the overall vibe and the distance from laxman jhula

We loved the filtered water right next to the apartment, the beautiful and peaceful enviroment , the great café where travelers can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the two friendly dogs who made our day every morning.

The sofa bed wasn't exactly comfortable for two people.

Schönes Hostel direkt im Zentrum, man kann alles gut erreichen. Dadurch, dass es hinter einem Parkplatz liegt, ist es auch ruhig. Der kleine Garten sorgt für eine schöne Atmosphäre. Die Zimmer sind sauber, Betten bequem. Auch der Gemeinschaftsbereich ist nett. Außerdem gibt es heißes Duschwasser und man kann sein Flasche kostenlos auffüllen. Insgesamt ein schönes Hostel

Alles gut

The common areas were a good place to hang out , the overall vibe is quite peaceful and comforting.

Loved the location of the property and how tastefully and thoughtfully the property has been designed

Nothing..

I really like the location, and I really like the clam atmosphere, unlike other hostels which are very noisy

I think they shud start evening community gathering daily

Beautiful property at a central location. Had a separate library as well.

Common area was awesome

In day time, AC was not working for 2-3 hours

Best property full of greenery and places to chill. I can stay all day and do nothing there.

I like everything about it.

Rooms were okay

Price and location according to facilities provided

Everything was really nice! the vibes are chill they cleaned multiple times the common areas. Its also a nice place to talk to the people, everybody is really open. They also have a small Restaurant With Western and Indian food and nice drinks.

Nothing

No facility except providing beds and towel mattress . Even water we have to fill it ourselves

Place was good with well maintained plants. Common sitting area was cool.

Not enough blankets Breakfast (free) was only choice

We stayed in the apartment suite it was amazing like a tiny home. Clean and the bed so comfortable I didn’t want to leave. A real gem of accommodation in Rishikesh ! Amazing cafe and real love in the food by the lady who makes it.

I loved it

“I had a great stay at Indian Culture Hostel in Rishikesh. The hostel was clean, comfortable, and located in a peaceful area. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The atmosphere was welcoming, and it was easy to meet other travelers. The rooms and common areas were well maintained. Overall, it was a good experience and I would recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Rishikesh.”

“There was nothing I disliked about the property. The staff was friendly, the place was clean, and the overall experience was very good.” 😊

The cafe has really good food, love the common area and there is potential for more.

I just really didn’t like the staff, found the men just a bit weird as they stare a lot, apart from one who helped me get comfortable after my long night bus and was very respectful, the others were not engaged. They checked me in, hardly spoke to me, didn’t help with bags, give a tour of the place etc basic thing you expect from a hostel, and even if not, at least a friendly comfortable atmosphere would be great. I didn’t feel super comfortable as a solo female traveller I would have stayed elsewhere

Very calming atmosphere, the gardens surrounding the hotel really drown out the noise of rishikesh. The rooms were comfy and spacious, clean bathrooms. We booked the loft & one double room - what I would say is that the loft couch bed option is more single occupancy than double. For breakfast, food was great and all homemade, with vegan options too, copious portions. We found our comfy spot in the little cabana area beneath the trees which is so nice and offers a view of the mountains. It was so nice coming back to this hotel after a warm overwhelming day. Overall this hotel is a great find and I would recommend to friends travelling to Rishikesh.

Whilst the stay was great I just want to say that the staff wasn’t necessarily the best. The man at the reception didn’t understand enough english and at times didn’t care. We asked to book rafting proposed at reception and he told us to just walk into the street. Same for a taxi they were no help for booking any taxis. We asked to extend checkout for just one hour after rafting so we could shower and they refused for both rooms. There were several confusions with payments. And when we complained about noise in the room next to us nothing was done to quiet the room or to apologise to us they just didn’t care. No apology or gesture nothing. So I would say this is the point they need to improve on, overall reception staff. Breakfast staff was kind.

The only good thing was the location, near to Lakshaman Jhula

As per reviews on Google we chose this property. But to very surprise cleanliness was not maintained, staff not so professional, no good services, food not available.totally opposite what we saw on Google n booking.com reviews. Very bad experience.

The property was really good - clean, full of greenery, etc. Cafe food was good. Walking distance from Garud bridge and market. Will love to visit again.

Receptionist behaviour was a bit rude and unfriendly. They are not much comfortable assisting on calls. Although owner's behaviour was good. They need to keep welcoming receptionist.

Location,clean and pretty rooms.

During a heavy rainstorm, our room developed a roof leak, forcing us to relocate in the middle of the night. The hotel arranged accommodation at another property for the night, and we were given a different room the following day. While the issue was eventually resolved, having to move during heavy rain in the middle of the night was a significant inconvenience and negatively affected our stay. What was particularly disappointing was the staff's attitude throughout our stay. There was little sense of empathy, and no apology was offered for the disruption caused. Even at check-out, no one acknowledged the inconvenience we had experienced or thanked us for our patience and understanding. Better communication and a more customer-focused response would have gone a long way toward improving an otherwise frustrating experience.

Comfortable and clean place

Everything was good

They have combination of dorms and private rooms. I prefered to stay at private room and it was a spacious and comfortable and value for money. Their in-house cafe is also good enough with combination of all types of food - indian, salad, beverages. Common sitting area are also spacious enough for get-together. Walking distance from sai ghat and laxman jhula and from tapovan main road. Nearby you get taxi, scooty, cafe/restaurants, rafting operators. So overall location, stay and food all sums up to a exceptional worthy

nothing as such

Very good ..

安いしカフェがついている。犬に癒される 洗濯を干す場所も近くて便利

寝室は暗め。よく停電した。 停電すると水も出なくなるのが困った

It's feel chill, almost in a hidden place placed in the green. Everything is very clean and you have lockers in the room and curtain for your bed. Highly recommended and the price is quite good.

I didn't like that everyone is able to enter in the room. The room should be reserved only for the guests and the key of it should be given to them, respecting the privacy and security of the guests. Someone checked my stuff and stole some money that I had in the pocket of my bag under the bunk bed; even with the locker accessible, anyway I can enter the room anytime, as the entrance door is also open always.

De locatie is werkelijk prachtig!

Voor de prijs die je betaald hadden we meer verwacht: we hebben het personeel geen een keer zien glimlachen en vonden ze ook eigenlijk niet hartelijk en voelden ons niet heel erg welkom, vooral dat vonden we erg teleurstellend. Er kon geen goedemorgen vanaf. De wifi werkte ook niet en ondanks dat ik twee keer ernaar vroeg aan het personeel werd er ook enkel gezegd: het werkt vandaag niet. De temperatuur van de douche was onmogelijk te reguleren en de straal minimaal. Al met als vonden wij het geld niet waard en zouden we niet opnieuw boeken.

Rude staff. The person at the reception was rude ( not the owner) He was very rude, never seen such a person in hospitality service.

Rude staff, hidden charges for breakfast

The location is awesome, right next to Laxman Jhula and close to many cafes and restaurants. I like the vibe of Indian Culture and it has a lot of space to hang if you want to be outside the room. The staff at the welcome desk are quite friendly. The room was spacious and quite clean. There is an in-house restaurant (please note it closes quite early though). The King Studio was very well-appointed and had all amenities one expects including plates, cutlery and a refrigerator. There is also a water filling station so one can cut down use of plastic bottles which I really appreciate.

More than dislikes, just a watch out for those booking the King Studio. The bed in the studio is on the mezzanine floor and you need to use stairs to go up and down. However, there are no railings or handholds on the stairs and the mezzanine is quite high, so a slip or fall from the stairs can be a bit dangerous. I slipped on my first night there when I wanted to use the bathroom in the night, but luckily it was just the last 3-4 steps and it was fine but from higher up it could have been much worse. Guests with small children or with reduced mobility should avoid this room for that reason. Ideally some sort of hand-hold or railing should be provided for increased safety.

I liked the quiet atmosphere with all the plants and garden. Friendly and helpful staff. The bed was comfortable with own light, socket and a locker. Big and clean bathroom. There is drinking water. The Cafe was serving really good food. The common areas were nice to socialize. Very good value for the money!

I love going back to this place again and again as a solo traveller

Thank you for a wonderful stay! I had a great time in the stylish room, the beautiful garden full of nature, and with your two adorable dogs.

Loved the vibe of the hostel. Well maintained, beautiful common area to chill and connect with other travelers. The staff is friendly and extremely helpful. The main manager slightly doesn't care though - he's in his own zone and admin work. I'd have liked him to be more in touch with the travelers.

Everything perfect :)

Nothing

I love staying at Indian Culture. I came alone and was welcomed by very friendly staff. The atmosphere is very chill and perfect when you want to meet people. The small cafe outside was also very very good and healthy, I actually sometimes didn't even need to go out as I had all the I needed there. I would recommend it 200% !

Such an amazing place. A little green oases in the middle of the chaos. Very cozy, artistic place. The restaurant offers delicious indian and western food. I would come back here anytime.

Ótima localização, com sossego e tranquilidade. Seguro. Parece um oásis no meio da agitação do bairro Lower Tapovan. Cama de casal muito confortável. Áreas comuns. Natureza ao redor.

Banheiro (chuveiro desconfortável, muito perto da parede; vaso sanitário mais alto do que o comum). Café da manhã incluído é limitado, poderia ser melhor, mas há opção de pedir porções pagas. A entrada do hostel fica dentro (no fundo) de um estacionamento. Isso poderia estar melhor sinalizado na entrada.

Amazing

There is only one thing which makes me feel bad that I couldn’t get longer availability as it always sold out :)

I love everything about Indian culture

Nothing to dislike

The accommodation was excellent. The staff were very friendly, and the transfer was perfectly organized. The facilities were great, and the location is ideal—like a small oasis right in the center. The other guests were also wonderful.

There was nothing to complain about—everything was very well organized and exceeded expectations.

L'ostello più pulito di tutta l'India! è stato un oasi di pace anche grazie al giardino Interno tranquillo, ma al centro di Tapovan, consigliatissimo!

Great experience and good location! Staff were very helpful.

The environment, the location, the people and the food

Fan speed controller was outside the room
