Great location, parking space, good AC in room, good tea / coffee making facilities in the room, good number of towels and toiletry in bathroom , excellent staff

Everything was fine ( except heavy gate to pool was closed blocking the access)

The staff is very polite and proactive.

Ótima localização, perto da Lakshmana Jhula, funcionários cordiais, falam um ótimo inglês, estão sempre disponíveis para ajudar.

Poderia ter um pouco mais de variedade no café da manhã

The location and staff were perfect! Super friendly, clean and convenient

All good, may be mattress are a bit soft & towels not so soft.

The location, staff service, cleanliness

The variety in food items in breakfast

Otimos funcionários, dispostos e amigáveis. Cafe da manhã muito gostoso e variado, embora vegano. Ótimas instalações e ótima localização em Tapovan. Proximo a uma das pontes principais que atravesa o rio Ganges. Bom comércio, restaurantes, academias, conveniências.

Clean room, like proper clean! Nice sheets and GREAT pillows! Awesome view and location. Rooms were soundproofed well. Fantastic staff who struck the perfect balance between being friendly/helpful and respecting our space (I.e. not over the top like some other hotels). Would 1000% recommend and would absolutely not go anywhere else if we were to return. We had previously stayed elsewhere in Rishikesh for a similar price, Holy River was SO much better

Good Service Behavior and Support

Everything except swimming pool access timings and no support for that

No breakfast there

Muy buena atención!!

Great location and really helpful staff

Nothing

Wir haben uns im Holy River sehr wohlgefühlt. Es ist ein modernes, gut isoliertes Haus. Das Zimmer war groß und sauber, bequeme Betten. Es werden Massagen angeboten, die wir sehr gut fanden. Die freundliche Mansi an der Rezeption war uns eine große Hilfe!

Nichts zu meckern.

Great area and staff helpful

Site said they had yoga there which they didn`t and breaky was only ok but that is probably our difference in food

Great location Friendly staff Very clean

Very cold pool / noise from main road

מיקום מצויין, סידרו חדר כל יום, נקי.

ארוחת בוקר לא מספיק מגוונת. יש ארוחות בוקר שוות בעיר וחבל לקחת ארוחת בוקר כזו במחיר המלון.

I loved this hotel. Very clean, beautiful room , stuff very kind and friendly. They made me feel like I’m home away from home. I highly recommend it.

Buena ducha con presión del agua , vistas a la piscina, tranquilo ( nos tocó habitación interior) con mucha luz , rodeado de patio interior con palmeras

La entrada principal está llena de escaleras que para la gente mayor es una gran dificultad.

Location was good.Anand the receptionist very friendly.

Only had 1 small toilet roll. Room cleaned but left all the rubbish.

Staff behaviour and services

Price should be little less

The staff was incredibly helpful from the moment we arrived. They helped us plan our 3/4 days in Rishikesh, offering recommendations on what is worth seeing and how to navigate the town. They booked multiple taxis for us and helped us with rickshaws. They also accommodated a late booking at the spa for a massage for my sister. The hotel and rooms were very comfortable. The beds were so comfortable, and the heating worked great during the winter season so we were very cozy. It was a lovely place to rest after exploring the surroundings.

Very cozy hotel with a good location. All attractions, shops, and cafes were nearby. Good place to stay for short trips.

O hotel é excelente e muito bonito, com uma atmosfera acolhedora que torna a estadia ainda mais agradável. Os quartos são confortáveis, bem decorados e equipados, e o banheiro é muito bom — sempre limpo e funcional. O café da manhã é delicioso, com ótimas opções de culinária indiana e ocidental. A localização é perfeita: no coração de Tapovan e a uma curta caminhada da Laxman Jhula, em uma área cheia de restaurantes, cafés e lojas. Em novembro de 2025, a nova ponte, embora ainda em obras, já permite a passagem de pedestres, facilitando muito o deslocamento pela região. A equipe do hotel é maravilhosa e absolutamente prestativa — inclusive consertaram o zíper da minha mala, um gesto que demonstra o nível de cuidado e atenção com os hóspedes. O hotel oferece transfer a partir do Jolly Grant Airport (DED) mediante pagamento, algo que eu recomendo fortemente, já que o aeroporto mais próximo de Rishikesh fica em uma cidade vizinha, a cerca de 1 hora de distância. Uma estadia excelente em todos os sentidos. The hotel is excellent and very beautiful, with a welcoming atmosphere that makes the stay even more enjoyable. The rooms are comfortable, well decorated, and well equipped, and the bathroom is very good — always clean and functional. Breakfast is delicious, offering great Indian and Western options. The location is perfect: right in the heart of Tapovan and within walking distance of Laxman Jhula, in an area full of restaurants, cafés, and shops. As of November 2025, the new bridge, although still under construction, already allows pedestrian crossing, which makes getting around the area much easier. The hotel staff is wonderful and absolutely helpful — they even fixed the zipper on my suitcase, a gesture that shows how attentive they are to their guests’ needs. The hotel offers transfer service from Jolly Grant Airport (DED) for an additional fee, which I highly recommend, since the nearest airport to Rishikesh is in a neighboring city about one hour away.

No final de novembro fazia muito frio e o quarto não tinha aquecedor, mas as cobertas e edredons disponíveis eram bem quentinhos e ajudaram bastante. Isso não diminui em nada as qualidades do hotel. At the end of November it was very cold and the room did not have a heater, but the blankets and duvets provided were warm and helped a lot. This does not affect the hotel’s overall quality in any way.

Very helpful staff. Good location.

Nice location, great staff, very accommodating to special requests, overall had a fantastic stay!

The staff were really helpful and the hotel itself was very comfortable and clean. They put 3 bottles of water each day in the room.

The staff are very friendly, helpful and easy to communicate with.

Beautiful hotel and staff. Location is very close to everything. Comfortable mattress. Will surely come back.

Only thing when we asked for two key card since we had 2 room and 5 people. They did not give extra. They give one per room. Also don’t give laundry came back with wet smell. Not going to rank down.

Breakfast was very good . Location suited us

It was extremely clean and the staff was amazing. Tried the spa and the massage was great too.

Some more diversity in the breakfast would be appreciated (eggs etc)

This was my favorite hotel stay in India. It was affordable, clean, comfortable and provided all the amenities. The room was as soundproof as you can get- which matters when you aren’t used to the traffic noise. The restaurant offered delicious food at affordable prices, I was able to have my laundry done and enjoyed a massage at the spa(Laxmi did a great job). Every staff member was warm and accommodating and seemed to genuinely care that I enjoyed my time there. The bed was by far the most comfortable of the many places I stayed. The hotel is close to the action but set just off a main road making it more pleasant to leave the hotel on foot than being right on the busy road. When I come back to Rishikesh this is where I’m staying. Highly recommend ❤️

Zero complaints

There is a lot to like about this hotel. While in the Rishikesh area I stayed in four different hotels between various treks, but this one was clearly the best. Excellent location for everything! No real view, but surrounded by tour operators, restaurants and shops, and hop away from where Indiahikes collects trekkers. Short walk to the Ganges River and Lakshman Jhula. On a busy road but I could not hear any of the noise, the soundproofing is excellent. Wifi good. Modern, secure, very comfortable room, bonus it had a room safe. Every area of the hotel, whether it be my room, gym, massage room, dining area or reception were immaculately clean. That is not an exaggeration, it was spotless. This extends to the pool and outside area which is private from the road. Breakfast was fantastic with great choice and western style coffees available. Breakfast could be enjoyed in airconditioned interior (very quiet) or the paved outdoor area listening to the racket and commotion of Rishikesh. The service was first-rate, with reception helping out when requested, massages booked on a moment's notice, dining staff eager to assist. You can book this hotel with peace-of-mind....

Laundry came back four hours later than agreed.... caused some anxiety when it did not arrive by 4pm but only came back at 8.30pm.

Near main road of laxman jhula. But when you step outside of the hotel be ready for the heavy traffic This hotel is very expensive. I had booked this hotel for my parents and relatives for the 3 nights with superior rooms with breakfast. Breakfast spread was nice. Although they had dinner at the restaurant which was very costly. Like one icecream Scoop is for 120 rupees. Rooms are nice and clean. Also reception staff was very helpful and supportive. Thank you holy river hotel. Date of stay:June 2025 Room Tip:Please book this hotel minimum 2 months before your trip so you can get a good deal. Otherwise this hotel pricing gets very high. Trip type:Travelled with family

Highly priced food. Traffic near the hotel road No view from the rooms.

Very friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant is good. The room was clean and spacious.

The pool is right next to the big street, so it is very noisy. They have a yoga studio but no air conditioning during 38 degrees weather and no instructed classes.

Small but enough amenities

Bang on busy main road. Some pics of Ganges are misleading

Excellent Hotel in Tapovan with Car parking. Excellent location and you can enjoy nearby places- Sai Ghat, Ram Jhula and Laxman Jhula. Overall, Best hotel in Tapovan.

Nothing. All things are perfect.

The hotel staff were extremely accommodating and understanding, despite the very fluid travel situation we had.

The rooms were lovely, spacious and clean. Plus the staff were so helpful, booking rail tickets when we were unable. They were also very responsive to messages.

The location was noisy, but this is the case for most Rishikesh hotels

Location was key. In Tapovan with easy access to Lakshman Jhula and Ma Ganga at Sai Ghat. There was great view of Ma Ganga from the window of our 4th floor room. Room was clean and staff was courteous. Front desk folks Suraj and Anand were exceptional at providing information and arranging taxi services. Very warm and friendly. Food was tasty and hygienic.

Nothing really.

Location was excellent. Service was very good

Needed bit of maintenance in the bathroom

Great service, clean room, good location

One of the best hotels in our 9 month trip

Excellent location and good food. Well kept rooms and good staff.

Only one lift and that too was very small.

Very friendly staff. Excellent massage therapists. Rooms very clean. Beds comfortable. Super location. I recommend.

Amazingly clean property. Really nice room. Staff so good. Had a couple of requests which were responded to in minutes. Excellent value as well.

Nothing

Just loved it!

Lovely room. Great location in the heart of Tapovan. Friendly and helpful staff

The check-in process was very smooth and reception staff (Mr. Anand and Suraj) were very kind and polite. The hotel is located in close proximity to the ganges and there are a variety of eating options around the hotel. The hotel restuarant serves delicious food as well. Service is prompt and the all rooms are well equipped and tidy.

Well run hotel, good price quality Choose this hotel if you want good comfort and a good location, but dont need a 5 star hotel. The staff is attentive, and there is a restaurant, gym, swimming pool onsite. 1min from main road but good noise isolation 5 mins from tourist shops Near taxi stands Massage available but desolately not available for me

Good location, manager at the front desk extremely helpful, very clean

Great accommodations, excellent staff!!

Perfect location!

Nothing to complain , everything was good ; clean , spacious room ; bathroom 👍 ; breakfast 👍 & friendly staff. Very good location , private parking is plus . Will stay next time!

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.

Very clean hotel with beautiful marble flooring. everything in the room was working perfectly. The reception staff were very helpful.

Foi excelente!

The staff are helpful. Location is in the market . Rooms are clean. Room charges are ok.

There is no view from rooms. Food is surprisingly costly from Rishikesh standards with one Tawa roti ( chapati) costing Rs.80 and single Parantha costing Rs.120? The spa is one man show and the guy fell sick during our stay so the Spa was closed.

Breakfast was super nice . What else do you need? It was really good. Very well located near everything you need in rishikesh

Hotel was nice and we appreciated the early check-in they gave us as well as having a room on a high floor with a (partial) view of the river. The bathroom was a bit of a problem thought when taking a shower there was literally no way to avoid serious flooding. The room also could get a bit sticky and it wasn't possible to open the window to air it out, unfortunately. Breakfast buffet was just 'ok', there were no eggs on offer at all, for example (not even hard boiled ones). Location of the hotel is good, right on the main drag in town, so gives good access to restaurants, shopping and travel services.

I stayed here for 15 nights. The staff were helpful, well-mannered and very friendly. Property is within a 5-minute walking distance from Laxman Jhula, it’s a 4-storey building and is very clean. Plenty of facilities available, including a gym and swimming pool (although I didn’t use them). The breakfast at its Holy Oven is very tasty, which caters for both Indian and Western tastes. The room service meal delivery is very quick and is available 24-hours. I would not hesitate to come back to this wonderful hotel and its wonderful staff. Thank you for a great stay.

Not the fault of the hotel but there was a lot of building work going on close by that seemed to go on well into the night. Also barking dogs were a bit noisy on occasions. A good pair of earplugs is all that’s needed!

This hotel was one of the best we tried in Rishikesk. It did not have a view of the river and the streetside rooms were a bit noisy but the patio was nice. The best part was that you can go across the street to Ganga Kinare that is on the river and holds a lovely aarti in their private ghat. They also have a fantastic yoga studio on the top floor with an incredible view and a terrific teacher that is free to attend.

Good variety of Bharti food.

The hotel is in a good location and the food was nice. Unfortunately the bed wasn't very comfortable being two single beds pushed together to make a double, and we kept experiencing powercuts throughout our whole stay. Paying over 6500 rupees for one night, I expected more.

The room was spacious, impeccably clean, and ideally located in a central area, making it easy to walk to a variety of shops and cafes, or hop on a tuk-tuk to explore further. The staff were exceptionally friendly and always eager to assist, greeting guests with warm smiles. Despite being situated on a bustling main road, the hotel was remarkably quiet, with very little outside noise making its way in. I especially loved the serene yoga space, where I could enjoy my self-practice in a calm and peaceful environment. Another highlight was the delicious Indian breakfast offered, which was fresh, flavourful, and a perfect start to the day. This hotel truly exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend it. I will definitely stay here again when I visit Tapovan.

Absolutely nothing.

For the first time visitor It was located in prime area close to all attractions. The staffs were very courteous. We had a la carte breakfast and the food was also very good.i will recommend this place especially to first time visitors.

Great location, wonderful staff, comfortable room, delicious food, good value for money

The bathroom can be a bit humid, and there’s water damage on the base of the doors in the bathroom because of water leakage from the shower. Other than that there’s nothing wrong with the property

Situation excellent, everything has a tourist is available in walking distance even to go far sharing taxi rickshaw available in walking distance. Food options outside is reasonable and convenient.

There is nothing to complain about
