Wonderful peaceful stay with a great view
Pros:

The location was very nice, since it is close enough to Tapovan, but still you don’t get all of the noise pollution. We where super lucky to get the rooms on the top floor, so we had our little private balcony and view of Rishikesh and the Ganga, which we really enjoyed. The rooms where well maintained and clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful. We also rented scooters, which were of really good condition. My dad also got 2 massages, which he really enjoyed. Everything was very much to our satisfaction, we would definetly come here again :)

Cons:

If you don’t like walking stairs it might be tricky for you, but for us it was actually a nice little exercise after mostly moving with the scooter around the city

Beautiful, peaceful stay with great views.
Pros:

The view was amazing! The room was large and comfortable with a lovely balcony overlooking the Ganga. The staff were very nice and helpful. The location was great as you were away from all of the craziness but with many options for eating around the hotel and just a 20min walk to Ram Jhula. The view from the yoga deck and studio was spectacular!

Cons:

Ok, I personally didn't mind but I have to mention, it was a steep walk up to the hotel with our bags (no vehicle access for the last little bit) and there were several stairs to get up to the room but the very helpful staff carried our heavy bags up and my thighs got a good workout during my stay πŸ˜‚ and it's called Hilltop Swiss Cottage so to be expected and the view is worth it!

Great room, staff and quiet location
Pros:

The staff were super friendly and the room was big and comfortable and very quiet

Cons:

The location being a bit outside of Tapovan meant that getting anywhere we had to deal with a very busy and chaotic main road, which wasn't fun

Pros:

This was second time staying at hill top swiss cottage.
I loved my spacious room and watching the monkeys from my balcony
Enjoyed the morning yoga
The views are amazing and it's a nice relaxing, luxurious place! If I ever come back to Rishikesh, I'd only stay here.
Special thanks to Vinod for helping me with various logistics during my stay πŸ™‚

Cons:

A small point, but a few items from the menu were never available during both of my stays (a few of the appetizers and the fruit).

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
