Pros:

I’ve got to say, Art Bliss Hostel in Rishikesh is a top-notch place! Location is unbeatable just 2 minutes from Sai Ghat, and cafes are super close. The staff are super friendly, and the owner is amazing and super helpful. What really got me though is how they treated me when I got sick. I was solo travelling and they made me feel like family. They took care of me when I was down, and it meant a lot. Also, kudos on the new kitchen; the food is homely and delicious, just like mummy ke hath ka khana . Definitely exceeded my expectations! Plus, I made so many new friends at the hostel, didn't feel solo at all. Big shoutout to the whole Art Bliss team, thanks for making my stay so special and creating memories that'll last a lifetime! Sending lots of love to Art Bliss Rishikesh 💕

Pros:

Not just one or two, but all of them were such lovely hosts and exceptional people. It wasn't just a stay; it felt so warm and cozy that it truly helped me heal. They go above and beyond for your convenience and comfort. You can feel the cool breeze while sitting in the garden, and you will love their greetings and smiles every now and then. It is a truly wonderful place

Pros:

First of all, a big shoutout to the staff — the Bros: Maccy, Sumit, and Jonny. Super humble, friendly, and always ready to help. They really made the stay feel warm and welcoming.

The room is totally worth the budget. The bed is very comfortable, and they actually keep up with changing the bed linens, which I really appreciated.

There’s a nice chilling zone with good seating to just relax and vibe. Plus, the location is perfect — just a couple of minutes’ walk from Laxman Jhula.

The people here are genuinely helpful, and a fun bonus — they have in-house freshly baked pizza and even a bit of DJ lighting to set the mood.

Overall, had a great time and really enjoyed the stay!

Thank you.

Cons:

One thing to note — since it’s a shared dorm setup, the washroom cleanliness can depend on your fellow roommates. So, if you’re unlucky, it might not always be perfectly clean.

That said, the overall experience is absolutely worth it. Don’t overthink — just book it. Truly great value for money!

Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at Art Bliss Hostel. The atmosphere is very peaceful and welcoming, making it a perfect place to relax and connect with fellow travelers. The staff are extremely friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist with a smile.

The price is very reasonable for the quality of stay they provide, and the location is excellent—close to everything you need. One of the highlights of this hostel is the beautiful garden area, which creates a calm and refreshing environment to sit, read, or simply enjoy the surroundings.

Overall, Art Bliss Hostel offers great value, comfort, and a lovely vibe. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Pros:

had a really beautiful stay at Art Bliss in Rishikesh. The place has a very relaxed and creative vibe that instantly makes you feel at home. It’s located in a quiet lane but still close enough to the main Tapovan/Laxman Jhula area, so you get the best of both worlds — peaceful surroundings and easy access to cafés and the Ganga. �

The rooms were clean and comfortable, with good WiFi and nice common spaces to hang out. I especially loved the terrace and garden area — perfect for chilling, working on a laptop, or just enjoying the mountain air. �

What really makes this place special though is the atmosphere. It’s not just a hostel, it feels more like a little creative community. You meet travellers from different parts of the world, have great conversations, and sometimes the evenings turn into music, chai, or spontaneous jam sessions.
The hosts are super friendly and helpful, and you can tell they genuinely care about the guests having a good experience. If you’re looking for a calm, artsy and soulful place to stay in Rishikesh rather than a loud party hostel, Art Bliss is a great choice.
Would definitely stay here again when I’m back in Rishikesh. 🌿✨

Cons:

I wish I had more days to stay

Stayed at Art Bliss Rishikesh for a few days and honestly didn’t want to leave. The place has a really peaceful vibe and attracts a lot of interesting travellers, so it’s easy to meet people and have good conversations. The rooms were clean, the WiFi worked well, and the common areas are perfect for relaxing or getting some work done.
