Divine Ganga Cottage

The hotel is at a good location and the new building is great besides the restaurant too is wonderful with great food and wonderful live music. The worry is if you get a regular room you will get a stale room with bed sheets and walls very stale. Pls only consider new building not the heritage (old wing)

The property and rooms are run down
Taking car to the hotel is a nightmare.
Rooms provided are far inferior than shown. Quality and cleanliness is inferior

Room was clean, staff was friendly, restaurant was great as well. The view was one of the best. Only thing mis-leading was the name of the Hotel "Divine ganga cottage" which doesn't exist and the property is being combined with another property name Antalaya. Also, the shower unit had the hold and cold switch reversed causing lots of confusion to take hot shower. Overall good experience staying.

I was impressed with the behavior of top management. They try to know and solve the concerns (if any)of their customers. Food was healthy and tasty. We personally congratulated the head chef. Property location is amazing.
Will definitely stay in this hotel in our next trip to Rishikesh.

We upgraded to a larger room on the terrace. Hotel is in a great position and the staff were charming and nothing was too much trouble.

The staff are so sweet, friendly and super helpful. Towels and sheets need better cleaning. But I would go back.

Very much enjoyed staying in this cottage. The stuff are friendly and hospitable. The view from the cottage is the best and lots of shops walking distance. Our special appreciation to Mr. Vivekanandan who was excellent in his service and understanding. Would definitely visit here again.

Fantastic service from the friendly and helpful hotel staff. Good breakfast menu. Fantastic location, view, and outdoor facilities. The rooms on the first floor were a bit humid and had a slight modly smell.

The rooms are basically clean but the decor is uninspired.
The outdoor space has been cleverly done: By running balconies with staircases between three adjacent buildings and stringing it all with plants, they make a fairly compact space feel airy. If it had been less polluted, the rooftop cafe would have been very nice. I had only one complaint about the management: They told us they could get a car for our next destination for rs. 5000, so we turned down another offer for 6500, then they contaced us late at night to say the car would actually be Rs. 7500, by which time it was too late to accept our other offer. I found this dishonest.

This is the perfect spot when visiting Rishikesh. The staff is wonderful, the food is excellent, and the walking distance to all the sights is very comfortable. The view of the Ganges is beautiful.

Rishikesh was my favorite part of a trip all over India, and Divine Gangha Cottages were an absokute delight. The service is a 10/10, rooms and bathrooms have great, super hot water and are very (!) clean. The restaurant is absolutely amazing. I was even feeling sick one morning, and Ravinder at the restaurant had the chef make me a special healing soup for dinner that evening. And I felt so much better after! The only thing to be aware of is that the bottom floor can be a bit loud with all the activity, so if you’re a light sleeper I would request an upper floor or quiet area. The property is large, so they can easily accommodate. Oh, and the view of the Ganges while you have breakfast? Priceless!

View of the Ganges is great but the location, rooms and parking situation is highly disappointing. The pictures are totally deceiving and do not show the real picture.

The customer service was very welcoming. The room was small and bed very hard. Great view on terrace and quiet away from noise. Would recommend if you don't mind the room being small.

Not good value for the cost. Room was small, stinky, and unpleasant.

The stay was an amazing one. The Divine Ganga team really leaves no stones unturned when it comes to their services and friendly behaviour.

There was no wifi, no hot water, and only 5-30 mins of electricity at a time, with it being off more than it is on. This is despite other guest houses in the area, at a much cheaper price, having all these amenities. Sometimes in Rishikesh the power goes out for a rain storm, but this is the first place I've been to just without any of these services provided at all, and there hasnt been rain since I got in. I went to speak with the reception about it in a polite way, thinking the situation would have a remedy, and he immediately began shouting at me, I believe his tactic was to intimidate me away from placing my legitimate concerns. Even as he was shouting that the electricity was provided, the electricity went out. I repeatedly asked him to calm down and he just began shouting that there is no discount and no refund. Normally I trust hotels.com and I have never come into a situation like this before but now I deeply regret booking beforehand as the hotel is nothing like its being advertised on the site. Not to mention my room is also plagued by giant spiders (3 so far) and tiny beetles are all in my bed. My other friends from my yoga school have found much nicer hotels in more central locations for about 8-10USD per night. The hotel is pretty empty besides me and I understand why.

My son and I visited Divine Ganga Cottage on our recent stay in Rishikesh. The rooms were very comfortable and clean with lovely views of the Ganges River. The food was absolutely excellent, much of the ingredients sourced from the organic garden next door. The staff was sweet, helpful and made side trips very comfortable and easy to access. The location is fabulous for exploring Rishikesh and across the Lakshman Jhula bridge into Swarg Ashram.

I highly recommend this sweet, comfortable hotel - a little quiet retreat with friendly, knowledgable staff and excellent food just off the main streets of busy Rishikesh.

Our experience with this hotel was absolutely horrible. We booked a room to accommodate 4 people (two adults, two teen age children) and the room they gave us had one king size bed. Their solution was to offer an extra mattress on the floor for additional charge. Things only got worse. Cockroaches, mosquitos and dishonest owners created a horrible experience.

We booked the hotel for 2 nights. The location of the hotel was great. You can see the Ganges, and the mountains the view was awesome. Everything about this hotel is good (staff, location, views) but the rooms are terrible.

The rooms are very small. No table lamps, two very bright tube lights that flood the room, so if you want to relax or read book in dim light you cannot! The walls have paint and plaster pealing off. The bathrooms are SMALL. The toilets were leaking water. The shower water will flow out to the sink area making it very slick. No soap, or shampoo provided to guests. What can I say, I had extensive conversation about this with the manager - he was a very nice guy, but didn't seem to have any power to do much.

Enjoyed my stay here the staff was helpful and the rooms are well maintained.
