Great value and better hotel than average.
Pros:

Beautiful location outside the noise of the city with great views and nice staff. Comfy beds. The hammock was a lovely touch. The yoga room was well supplied and available all day. Despite being 20 min walk away from the city, there are restaurants, a convenience store, and massage services in the direct area. There are a lot of steps, but that's how you get the best view. I was greeted at the base and my bag was carried up, even when arriving at 5:30am.

Cons:

No hooks on the wall. No bedside light or switch. Room service got my order wrong and wouldn't take it back.

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 😂 and it's called Hilltop Swiss Cottage so to be expected and the view is worth it!
