Raj Cottage Ganga Vatika

Coziness comfort cleanliness.

The man was friendly and very helpful. He went out of his way to make sure I could get to my next destination smoothly. The breakfast was great.

The air conditioner was very noisey.

Fomos muito bem recebidas, tudo muito limpo e organizado, o quarto super confortavel, o lugar é silencioso e bonito. Quando chegar na cidade, ligar para o anfitrião, sr Prakash e dizer onde está e ele providencia taxi para busca-lo. Sempre muito atencioso e cuidadoso com os hospedes. E o café da manhã delicioso. Voltando em Rishikesh, com certeza buscarei esse lugar.

Gostei de tudo.

Everything was just great, and administrator Mr. Prakash was very friendly and supportive. The location is just great - this is outside the noisy centre of Rishikesh, but much closer than Tapovan, where we see all time the traffic jams. But this small hotel is located in the neighborhood with restricted access, and so it's very calm, clean, and restful, located on the hill. On the same time, it's very close from Ram Jhula (like a 10 minutes walk), and also from the central market area of Rishikesh - also in 15 minutes you are there. Could be a bit challenging to go up the hill in the evening, when you are tired, and if you decide to come home by foot. But mostly tuktuks know how to reach this neighbourhood, and taxis as well.

This place is all over top class. It’s a convenient location upside the hill, besides from the crowds and the traffic. You are waking up to birds chatting early in the morning. Although it's just 15 minutes walk down to Ganga river. Prakash, how is in charge of the place it's a very genuine and kind man. Thank, I had a pleasant time.

הכל מושלם, המיקום, החדר...הכל...

Perfect location with super service.

Everything was great, from breakfast to arrangements to our welcome the 2nd time.

Nothing

I stayed in room 1, the lowest room in the building, but it still had a view of the Ganga. The people were incredibly kind and always seemed genuinely happy to see you. Everything was very clean. There is a cozy courtyard and a good, inexpensive restaurant. The location is perfect.

The smog and air quality were extremely poor. The smoke from the cremation grounds blows directly toward the balcony where you eat.

I return to Raj Cottage each year and recommend to friends. I always feel safe there, it is in a peaceful location, a little walk down to Ganga which I enjoy. Breakfast is always so good and host is incredibly accommodating.

Wspaniały tydzień w cudownym miejscu. Zamknięte osiedle i cisza, co jeśli chodzi o Indie jest czymyś wyjątkowym. Bardzo blisko Gangi i najważniejszych miejsc, ale z dala od turystycznych centrów jogi i asramów. Dla nas akurat to był plus. W najbliższym sąsiedztwie możliwość skorzystania z masaży ajurwedyjskich, a nawet całego procesu Panchakarmy. Prakash - gospodarz - był najlepszym gospodarzem jakiego można sobie wyobrazić, Pomocny, przyjacielski i robił pyszne parathy.

Location of the property is excellent and the rooms are very great…

Wifi無料、チェックアウト後、空港に向かうため、UberとOlaの両方を試したが、どちらも配車困難だったが、すぐに、お知り合いのドライバーを手配してくれて大変助かりました。スタッフはお一人ですが、細かなお気遣いが、素晴らしく、同時に、不要な干渉もないのでゆっくりしたいかたに最適と思われます。

The host is so kind and helpful with us. The position is good to go everywhere, especially the old market. The best part is the breakfast: a typical Indian food, with bread,fruit and jam. He did a good chai too! The room is clean and has everything you need. I will definitely come back again!

Prakash very helpful. Nice house.

Not so nice path down to the Ganga

Prakash was really a great host, he served us a delicious breakfast, appreciate the efforts he put us in to reach the cottage.

The hot water tap wasn't functional

This place is very simple. It has all the basics. Room was big. The staff was very friendly, helpful, concerned about making our stay enjoyable and easy. A very kind and trustworthy person.

Non ci sono abbastanza stelle per questo posto. Se andate a Rishikesh prenotate qua, il posto e’ bellissimo il propietario super accogliente, colazione buonissima. Stanza super pulita grande bellissima letto comodissimo. Complesso in cui e’ situato tranquillo molto curato. Insomma Raj Cottage Ganga Vatika da 10 stelle e piu’.

The caretaker Prakash was a fantastic help and support. It feels like a home away from the hussle and bustle of Ridhikesh town. It feels very safe and comfortable.

It was a little noisy this time. And the walk down to the Ganga is steep. One of our friends found this challenging.

Location and parking

Nothing as such

とても清潔で、お部屋も広く、静かな場所です。マネージャーのプラカシュさんは、到着時から連絡を取り合い案内してくださり、他にもいろいろわがままを聞いてもらいました。

唯一残念なのは、坂の上にあること。歩きます。

Sehr netter Gastgeber. Wir mochten das Gefühl, familiär untergebracht zu werden. Super großes Zimmer mit geteiltem Balkon (nicht störend). Es war toll, in dieser Wohnoase zu sein (es ist eine Art umzäunter & überwachter Suburb), ohne Autolärm o.ä.

Great breakfast and very nice and silent location. Friendly and helpful staff. Located at a very short walk from the Ganges and somewhat upriver which means less crowded.

朝食付き 部屋が綺麗 お湯が出る

エアコンが古いタイプなので、音が大きい ドライヤーなし ペットボトルの水がチェックインのときに1つもらえるだけ

The Cleanliness, the caretaker , approach, price, facility

Too far walking from Ganga.

The room is located in a villa inside a gated community that is very well maintained, quiet with peaceful surroundings. The access to the main ghats is quite good though the climb back up from the road is a little tedious. The highlight of this place is the caretaker (Prakash) who is on top of everything (clearly loves his job) and extremely helpful. The breakfast served is awesome. Overall, a great place to stay in Rishikesh especially for young folks and for older people if they have their own vehicle with them.

Too few electrical outlets in the room for charging your devices.

The cottage was very homely, clean, and comfortable. The host, Prakash (?), was the real gem of the place and gave us practical info to navigate the place, nearby hotels, and cooked us a wonderful breakfast in the morning. He also helped coordinate the taxi pickup in the morning which was a real lifesaver due to the insane traffic in Rishikesh.

The location was not ideal, as to go to the river side, e.g. Ram jhula or further down Lakshman jhula, you need to walk quite a bit, and that too uphill. There is no convenient rickshaw one can take from the location. If you have a scooter then no problem! While everything about the property was great, I didn't like the fact that the owner of the place had not properly provisioned for the sleeping place for the host, Prakash. I went to the kitchen late at night to fill my water bottle and didn't realize that he was right there in the kitchen, sleeping on the floor. That's just not done :(.

Location and staff service very good

No such thing to unlike

The staff was quite helpful.

The location was perfect enabling us to access all the important points. Amazing staff , cleanliness, and took care of all your needs.

What can we say. Prakash. He's literally the best host I have had in all my travels... ever. A very kind man with a lovely heart who we will really miss. He is so attentive without fuss. He cooked anything we asked for, and it was brilliant and fresh. Amazing varied breakfasts. His answer to everything? No problem. Laundry? No problem. We miss you very much and your wicked laugh 😃 The accommodation is back away from the noise and bustle and has a nice terrace upstairs too. Lots of places to sit inside and out and a fan to cool you. The room is very spacious and clean. You can also walk down to the Ganga restaurant, which was astonishing quality every time. I think we ate there ten times.

Nothing

Prakesh was a really helpful and kind host. It was behind the main road, so it felt tranquil and safe. Loved the rooftop terrace. Huge room, clean and a nice balcony off my room.

The host was SO LOVELY and kind. Really helped me a lot and was always available. Good location - 5 minutes down hill from the Ganges. The room was big and had AC etc. comfortable bed. Felt really safe as a single female traveller and would definitely book again :)

Excellent home-cooked breakfast. Very helpful housekeeper.

Design of bathroom was very poor and water pooled in a large area under the sink, after bathing, as it leaked from the shower glass. Bed was too hard for our liking.

Good location and very good host.

The accommodation was very clean, in a quiet area 15 minutes walk from the bridge. The surrounding area was very beautiful and the owner was extremely hospitable! Thank you for everything 🙏

Nothing

Prakash is a perfect host. He really looked after my friend and I very well, cooking us a special meal when we were unwell and making sure that we had plenty of water and anything else we needed. The breakfast is wonderful and plentiful, the location is quiet and safe, just a short walk uphill from the lively banks of Ma Ganga. This is my third stay at Raj cottage and I will return again next visit. If you want to be near by the foot bridges, shops Ashrams and Temples but like to retreat to somewhere a little more tranquil then Raj cottage would be perfect. Rooms have everything that you need ( I have stayed in 3 of the 4 available.) Thank you again Prakash! :)

Parkash was the best host and did everything to make my stay comfortable. Great breakfast also.

The walk up the steep hill from the Ganges. (It is possible to rent a tuk tuk) if you don’t need the exercise 😀

Peaceful Stay Near Ram Jhula Raj Cottage Ganga Vatika is a quiet retreat located uphill from the main road connecting Rishikesh and Tapovan, just a short walk from the Ram Jhula TucTuc stop. Access requires climbing some steps, so be prepared for a little workout. The room is spacious, spotlessly clean, and comes with a great shower. Breakfast is generous, and the host, Prakash, is exceptionally attentive. The property maintains a serene atmosphere with a shoes-off policy, and the balcony offers a peaceful space to unwind. Evenings are accompanied by the sound of live mantras from neighboring homes, adding to the spiritual ambiance. The walk to Ram Jhula bridge takes about 20 minutes. Instead of the main road, take the steps down to the Ganges and follow the riverbank for a more scenic and peaceful route. Once across the bridge, take time to explore the ashrams, where the silence and simplicity create a striking contrast to the lively streets filled with cows, monkeys, pilgrims, and travelers. A wonderful stay for those seeking tranquility while staying close to the heart of Rishikesh.

Prakash, the manager of Raj Cottage, goes over and above the call of duty to make you comfortable. He also cooks a delicious breakfast. You feel very well cared for. The location is peaceful with nice views of the Ganges from the roof terrace. I have stayed there for 3 consecutive years now and really enjoy it.

Caretaker mr.prakash is gem of a person.

Every thing

it was Prakash all the way. he even made breakfast for the next morning go. Excellent staff and caring member. always asking if help needed. thank you Prakash, hope we can meet again. 😊🙏🏽

location up the hill. owner needs to make that clear. my rickshaw dropped me off at the base of the climb with luggage.

Raj Cottage is in such a quiet peaceful and safe location. It is a short walk to the Ganges River. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and Parkash took care of us so well. He cooked us a wonderful breakfast and helped us with transport and so much more. Raj Cottage is homely and comfortable. We'll be back.

We were made to feel very welcome. The rooms were huge and very comfortable - lovely shower. Breakfast was very good,

Great host very clean good location

nil

The host was very welcoming. The room was large and comfortable and there is a nice verandah to relax on upstairs. Also only a casual 15 minute walk to town.

Caretaker was just amazing. He was very helpful.

Quite clean and comfortable welcoming host great value for money nice hot shower short walk to river

Steep hill back to the property not a problem for us

Prakash the man in charge is extremely kind and helpful and cooked every day a different Indian breakfast plus the typical western coffee, toasts and fruits.

Location is hard to find, if you are on foot it can be tiring to get there because it’s on a hill and the way up is pretty steep .

Lovely spacious room, good bathroom, airy and clean. Very welcome host who provided great breakfast, was very helpful regarding booking taxis etc

Nothing

Breakfast was good,there was no room service bcz only one care taker for all the rooms.. Pls add one more staff

Clean, location and the staff was amazing.

Nothing, everything was great.

Great service

Everything was great

Clean, spacious

To reach here by road, we have to take a longer route and by walk, one has to climb

The location and peaceful environment. The hospitality of the caretaker as well was commendable.

We faced difficulty in reaching the cottage because of the autos and rickshaws being unable to climb up the hill. In spite of the cottage being well located, it's hard to reach for senior citizens who can't walk. A rickshaw service of Great Ganga hotel helped us twice to reach the cottage, apart from that, it's been a good experience staying here.

Very good care by staff and helped in all respects. Felt as if he is our family member

Accessibility to main road

This is a wonderful place to stay. Homely, comfortable, great location, very peaceful yet close to everything on foot. Prakash is always there taking care of everything and everyone. I felt looked after and safe. Wonderful breakfast. Highly recommend staying here.

Great hospitality. Prakash is an excellent caretaker.

I recently spent five nights at this guest house and it was absolutely perfect for me. The location is serene and tranquil, nestled in a quiet residential area, yet it’s still at the heart of Rishikesh, making it an ideal spot. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, creating a homely feel that was much appreciated. Prakash was so attentive and caring throughout my stay, ensuring that all my needs were met with great detail and kindness. Highly recommended !

Breakfast was very good and prepared by very friendly host. Location was very good, 10 mins from the two main bridges.

The sheets on the bed were not completely clean.

Isolated location

Location from main road

The prompt service with a smile by the caretaker Prakash was the highlight of the stay

Cleanliness can be improved. The walk from the Gang ghat is very steep and through a dirty lane

Prakash is the perfect and a very friendly host

I came with some fever. I stayed in the hotel for few days till a full recover. I was taken care as if I was a member of the family. The room is nice and big and the hotel is super clean. Breakfask is simple, indian style. The place is very quite and I prefered of those places in center or main roads. Its 20 min walk from the Ram Juhla bridge to cross for the other bank of the river. Ther is a big tarace upstairs to relax and have some view towards the river.

Nice place. Very near to Ram Jhula, Janki Setu and Ganga.

Location. Access to main road was through a small unfrequented path

I got the top most room, the Ac had no cooling and the room was extremely hot, was unable to sleep all night. The breakfast served by prakash ji was good.

It's very close to the centre but in a quiet area on the hill. The staff and his home made breakfast was excellent. It was a lovely stay. Real discovery in a busy Rishikesh.

Friendly host and spacious room. Breakfast was good!

Great location, nice rooms, lovely terrace and really helpful owner.

The property was clean and welcoming in a beautiful, safe area. Approximately 2 minute walk to the River Ganga with views from the rooftop terrace. The best part of this guesthouse has to be the wonderful host, Prakash. He took the extra step every time in ensuring that guests were comfortable, happy and well looked after. His breakfast was wonderful each morning and also the dinner he cooked was very tasty. Highly recommend this property for a homely, safe and pleasant stay. Thank you Prakash Ji!

Water pressure was a little poor but it was fine for me.
