HOLYWATER Hotel by Ganga Kinare (150 mts from Ganga Ghat)

We liked the great service from Vidya. Great hotel and I will definitely stay here if I visit Rishikesh again.

Excellent staff in this hotel especially the receptionist Vidya; and restaurant staff Sachin and Deepak.
Sister hotel also has an excellent restaurant with incredible views of the Ganges
The best hotel we stayed in during out trip

Great and affordable hotel! Ganga Kinare is their sister resort so you have access to that as well. Everyone was kind, respectful, and very helpful. Loved it! Highly recommend!

Very nice hotel, good location, clean , best restaurant , good staff.

Overall, my stay was decent with good service. However, there were a few drawbacks. The facilities I booked for Aarti, Yoga, and Ganga Darshan are located 200 meters away at the main hotel, which was a bit inconvenient. The restaurant offers temple-style cuisine that might not suit those with a preference for modern flavors, and since outside food is not permitted, you have to travel daily for lunch or dinner. Breakfast was satisfactory, although the menu became repetitive over several days.

I was very surprised at how good this hotel is. With only 3.5 stars I thought it would be an average stay but it was amazing. They have a sister hotel which you can use for eating and entertainment. The private Ganga Access was amazing and the staff provided excellent service in the hotel and restaurant. I have been staying 5 star accommodation throughout my travels in India and this was just as good as those.

For amount of nightly charges you are better off staying in haridwar hyatt

Dining limited. Breakfast average but with good chouce.

Great breakfast! Only issue was an odor emanating from the mattress.

The hotel has nice accomodation. It's clean. Morning breakfast is also good. However this hotel is not good for tourists with self drive cars. The main locations like ram jhula etc are quite congested and you need to take public transport. Not very convenient.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Very good

Great food, room and service. Access to Ganga KINARE made it even better

I had a wonderful experience staying at this place. I rented a family room, which can accommodate four people. The rooms are clean, big, and equipped with all conveniences.

Not up to the mark

We enjoyed this hotel the most on our entire 5 week trip to India. From the time we arrived we felt welcome. We loved the spiritual atmosphere very much. The restaurant staff were just as great. As westerners, we just can’t handle the spiciness of Indian cuisine, and the staff was very accommodating. They remembered to make sure we had food at every meal that was delicious. We enjoyed the Aarti at the main hotel as well, but liked the atmosphere of Holy Water better. We can’t say enough good things about the hotel.

Staff attentive once we got there . However, was little concerned about the hotel sending emails repeatedly to pay before we got there and send the id on line . I was not looking for any additional stress from the hotel and threat of cancellation if I didn’t respond. Thank you

Second stay at this property. Returned because this hotel is one of a kind. Host Kanchan treats guests like family, like royalty. The accommodations are quite comfortable and well appointed. Restaurant is top notch. Spa at sister property Ganga Kinare was a highlight of my visit to Rishikesh. Rahul is a master at his art. Looking forward to returning many more times to come.

All good

Excellent stay. Room was clean and spacious. The receptionist Kanchan made our stay excellent. We had a number of places we wanted to visit and she sat with us and did all the arrangements making our trip wonderful. She was so accomodating to all our needs. We were safe at all times and very comfortable. Very friendly staff.
