Lovely place to stay. The staff here were very friendly and organised a couple of trips for us. If you like beautiful, calm, natural environments, I would highly recommend the day trip to their sister hotel, Oneness. The food was excellent, probably one of the best dinner buffets I’ve ever had in a hotel. The hotel is situated right next to the Ganges with beautiful views. Only downside is the hotel is located a long way from the more “backpacker” areas of Tapovan and Laxman Jhula, and the journey up there is not very pleasant as Rishikesh is quite hectic and polluted.

I liked this hotel as l was not expecting for a temple to be available to do a personal prayer. The priest was absolutely fantastic- l would highly recommend this hotel where the overall stay was absolutely great 👍.

Not a 4 start at all. They need to upgrade and renovate their property. Their price is crazy high for what it has to offer. Old bathroom , old rooms. They are definitely over charging.

Staying here is like being a part of an extended family inviting you to so many worthwhile experiences. Yoga and meditation classes in the mornings, Hindu service and tea at sunset. Large breakfast buffets with made to order breads in the morning. Spa services and private yoga instruction can be booked. Even partial view rooms have great view of the Ganges. One side of hotel looks over a wedding venue - if you want the pageantry and noise. Hotel is right on the walkway along the Ganges, close enough to town center without being in it. Highly Recommend for the food and experiences. The staff make you feel like family. It’s really nice.

The location was excellent, at a bend of the Ganges. The hotel has a very pretty garden and temple and its own private ghat. The hotel provided a very nice priest for our ceremony. Staff was friendly and accommodating. AC in our room was quirky and one of the windows was not fully sealed. Room service was spotty ,perhaps from understaffing in the pandemic. Overall satisfying stay.

Fantastic experience but check details properly
Hotel location, cleanliness, services were excellent however I am bit disappointed as in hotels.com it was showing as "River View" and also bath tub in the list of available services but it was partial river view and bath tub was not there. Ganga Kinnare staff said these two are part of upper category rooms and not of Deluxe room category. Ultimately misleading information for me as consumer.

hello, I contacted you on 27.10.19 regarding cancellation of a hotel reservation at GANGA KINARE by Holywater Hotels Order Number: 9205098973406 And you haven't yet returned a refund request even though the hotel manager agreed to a refund because of renovations and appalling noise at the hotel! On 26.10.19 I booked a room for a couple for two days, we woke up in the morning with loud noises due to hotel renovation !! There is no sign pointing to renovations and your site does not mention that the renovation is !! The atmosphere in the hotel is unpleasant, I arrived at the hotel to celebrate 33 years of marriage and was very disappointed! Requests to receive the refund immediately At the front desk, they confirmed the cancellation of the accommodation and you have been charged with not yet replying !! Before I continue to write about your disrespectful behavior, I will ask for an immediate answer Thank you Michael Shaked

The location was great. But that’s it. The service was terrible. Building was dirty. There was construction going on and it was sand and dirt everywhere. Bathroom are leaking. They put a big thing about save water and everything leaks water. Everything about the room was terrible, old and broken. How did even win TripAdivisor award?

Too expensive to what’s offered
It was under construction, so the first floor looked liked the movie Hostal (Scary). The rooms are pretty basic, the food was just good enough. The people on the front desk got me a tour with a guy who didn’t speak a word of English and that almost killed my trip, but at least they have a tour guide that takes you to the Ganga Aarti close by, and this is the only reason I am giving some points to this place, since $115 is expensive for been India
