Pros:

I loved my stay here, so much that I've just booked to stay here again!
Its very peaceful but still close enough to walk into central Tapoven.
My room was beautiful and spacious with amazing views.
You can book good value excursions via the hotel, and the staff were very helpful with any questions I had.
It was great having room service and a fridge in the room, as well as filter water.
There is a yoga class at 8am for a small fee on the rooftop, which is very good.
The food was nice

Peaceful stay with room service
Pros:

I had a really lovely stay here. The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from Tapovan, which I really appreciated — close enough, but away from the noise, so it’s very quiet.

The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well equipped, and room service is available, which is a nice plus. The view from the rooftop is beautiful.

The staff are super friendly and always helpful, which made the stay even more enjoyable.

I initially booked 4 nights and ended up extending for 3 more — I didn’t want to leave. And I would definitely come back.

Pros:

I enjoyed staying at Swiss Cottage for its comfort and clean rooms, my last room was the best with the Ganga View. The sunrise came right into my window and there were monkeys every morning on the balcony. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The location was not so convenient, because there is not so much options for restaurants nearby and the traffic outside is horrible.

Pros:

Os quartos têm.vistas lindas das montanhas e.do rio Ganges. Os funcionários são simpáticos e prestativos..A comida é.gostosa e um bom preço.

Cons:

Fica um pouco afastado, pra quem não se preocupa em subir montanha é bem legal, mas mesmo tuktuk não.leva até a frente do hotel. Em compensação, o lugar é calmo e quieto.

It's like a tree cabin in a hill of Rishikesh
Pros:

I've stayed twice the first time I had a nice room with views of the river, the second time they gave me a bigger room with private balcony a nice bathroom and a day bed. I believe this is a suite. The staff are very helpful. Vinod made sure I had everything I needed from the booking to the day I left. When I left they started remodeling, I can't wait to see what they do with the place.

Cons:

The stairs hahaha but by day 6 you get used to it.
