Avatar at the reception was nice and helpful
The doors can't be closed properly
Central location, good facilities
Untidy neighborhood, old construction
Proximity to a trekking group
It was stinking can be better cleaned
Central location, good facilities.
Not a tidy location, old construction.
Se dovessi dare un voto di cuore metterei un dieci, ma è necessario essere obiettivi. Lo staff è stato gentilissimo: dall’accoglienza, alla caffetteria, al ragazzo che ogni mattina portava acqua e caffè. Purtroppo però la pulizia ha lasciato molto a desiderare. C’erano dei piccoli parassiti nel letto (NON cimici), ad ogni doccia il bagno si allagava per problemi allo scarico, le pareti erano molto sporche. Siamo viaggiatrici backpackers da molti anni, ci sappiamo adattare però il livello di igiene e di pulizia andrebbe migliorato.
La limpieza y ubicación
No encuentro nada
Polite staff, good cafe, good location, hassle free check in and check out, help with travel arrangements.
Some of the fittings in the bathroom were loose, cluttered switches and sockets.
in front of hostel, there's pickup spot of certain hiking company, which could be the only reason for selecting this hostel. no other good thing about the hostel.
no people other than hiking.
Was a basic hostel.
The bathroom could have been better. Clean. Better designed. Bright. It was very very sub par. On my return journey, I let go of my booking and booked another place close by. GoStays. Much better.
no exaust in bathroom . since it was dormatory with 4 occupants , that would be good
La limpieza y la ubicación. La comodidad y la cercanía del personal.
Nada. Todo bien
Not much
Room had a strong smell, which caused headache, had to change room mid night, was unable to sleep there
not satisfied with the Receptionist
better interaction
Very clean and comfortable stay. Value for money.
It’s a slightly old property. And so the place itself feels old in general.
Not much satisfied. No assistance for local transport to airport or Bus Pickup.
Food at Restaurant was not good and prices for tea coffee are too much

Cleanliness and location
Everything was so good
I stayed for a couple of days in the female dorm and really enjoyed my stay here so I came back. The hostel is ideally located between upper and lower Tapovan, making everything really accessible. The dorm (+bathroom) is cleaned twice a day and has all you need- personnal fan, personnal light and charging station. And there is AC in the room as well + personnal lockers for valuables. The staff is lovely and always trying to help where they can. This place is great value for money!
The AC is hard to ajust in the room but you are offered a big blanket in case it gets too cool. Be aware it can get noisy sometimes around the hostel (had no issues within - and only experienced noise on 1 night) as it is central. But nothing a pair of earplugs won't screen :) Honestly from all the hostels around town, this place seems like the best option :)
Live Free is located conveniently at Tapovan and close to Laxman Jhula and cafes, if you are interested, around that region. The rooms are comfortable and offer a budget friendly stay. I was there for one night and being very close to the main road makes it advantageous with your luggage.
Nothing.
Place where it is located and very friendly staff
The location was amazing. The room was clean and neat. Toilets were clean and maintained well.
I didn’t like the price of the food . The price can be less. Also the upper bunks are too uncomfortable to climb and the bed moves a lot the moment somebody gets in. Beds should be user friendly.

Clean and good environment in hostel and food was delicious
We booked a room here as it appeared to be a preferred location to start and close trekking expeditions to the Himalayas. From that point of view it was very well run and managed efficiently. The front desk was well prepared to address all the usual traveller queries and also offered good suggestions on the local traffic situation (we ended up there on a long weekend!).
Helpful staff, excellent location our pickup and drop for trekking is next to the hotel, good service.
None
I like cleaning
lift facility
Location is good..everything is is nearby
This is disappointing to write because I’ve been a regular guest here since 2018, when the property had just opened. Unfortunately, my recent experiences has made me decide not to return. The room condition was unacceptable-there was water leaking from the AC, used towels from a previous guest were left in the bathroom, and the floor had a significant number of ants. To make matters worse, there was no water supply in the room initially, and it was only restored after I had to complain twice to the reception. Given my long association with this place, this decline in standards is particularly disappointing. I would not recommend it anymore to any one. It was so bad
Location. Staff were helpful.
Location and price
Checkout at 10.00 am
The location was nice, very close from good restaurants and from Laskhman Jhula. The hotel is slightly away from the main street so it's more quiet. Nice building with trees
Some people are banging their screen doors which can be noisy, our neighbors kept slamming it around 3am
Ótima localização, limpeza muito boa e quarto até bem espaçoso.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Proximity to Laxaman jhula and market. Clean rooms and good food.
Traffic in and out of the hostel to reach the airport or go out of Rishikesh.
Good
Amazing stay after a long mountain ride! a peaceful environment. Perfect place to relax before and after treks. Highly recommended!” Perfect place for solo travelers. Clean rooms, helpful staff, and a chill vibe. Felt safe and comfortable after long rides. I would definitely stay again!”
There was a smell in the bathroom.
The rooms are Budget friendly , easy to navigate and good location close top the ghat. The room are clean
For those on the upper bed in the bunker there is no place open bags sort. Need to do it on the common table which is very restrictive. Also would be great if we can be provided with clean towels. the check out time of 10am was not very clear when I booked on Booking.com
Great place to stay, very close to the Ganga and just a chill vibe :)also two very cute dogs!
Cleanliness, proximity to the market
We went there for Holi this year and the vibe they created, the arrangements they made were absolutely wonderful! I’ve been to this stay 4 times now and I can say this is my go to place in India!
At the live free I really liked it, I tried both the dormitory and the private rooms, the level of cleanliness is definitely good, the location is perfect and above all the structure is beautiful, there are various common areas, a beautiful terrace, various hammocks on which to rest and a good cafe where you can eat something. The best point is the staff, always kind and smiling, I recommend 100%
