"We had a really wonderful stay at Perfect Stay, Rishikesh. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable and very well-maintained, and the balcony was definitely a highlight. The staff was extremely friendly, polite and helpful throughout our stay. They handled everything very smoothly and were always available whenever we needed something. We also requested an early check-in, and although it was chargeable, they accommodated us without any hassle, which was really convenient. The room was cleaned properly, and we also felt that the property was secure. The check-out process was equally smooth, and the staff did not disturb us or keep rushing us for check-out. We also rented a scooter through the property, and we got it at a very budget-friendly price, which made our trip even more convenient. Overall, everything about our stay was really good — spacious rooms, cleanliness, friendly staff, smooth service and great hospitality. Would definitely recommend Perfect Stay if you’re visiting Rishikesh! ❤️"

Anandmaya Retreat Tapovan Rishikesh

Anandmaya Retreat Tapovan Rishikesh

10/10 Excellent
"Small wellness guesthouse in Upper Tapovan, near Secret Garden Café on Balaknath Road. Best if you want a quiet base with yoga and sattvic food, not a luxury hotel or a party stay. Solo travelers, yoga students, women traveling alone, and people who want vegetarian, no-alcohol, no-smoking surroundings. Not ideal if you want nightlife, non-veg meals, or a riverside room on the Ganga. Upper Tapovan is quieter than Laxman Jhula, but it is uphill. Without a taxi or scooter, expect a climb with bags. Cafés, yoga schools, and shops are nearby; Laxman Jhula is a walk, not next door. Tell the driver: “Anandmaya Retreat, near Secret Garden Café, Upper Tapovan.”"

"This place was close to Laxman Jhula. Tapovan ghat 10 minutes and you may like to experience Ganga Arati in the evening, The food at fork and flora was really good. The restaurant is open till 11 I believe, outside restaurants close early.The only bad part was finding the hotel , because it is nestled between Antalya and Terrakota and some time google map mess it up."
