Ganga Kinare- A Riverside Boutique Resort, Rishikesh

Stayed at this resort and was left thoroughly disappointed. While the restaurant staff were the shining stars of our experience, providing attentive service and meals, the rest of the hotel was lacking in nearly every aspect. It was clear that the resort has stopped investing in its facilities. Our room had stained bedsheets and pillow covers, broken furniture, a malfunctioning window handle, and a claustrophobic bathroom with poor ventilation. Given that we were traveling with someone who has breathing difficulties, I approached the front desk to request a room change or even a cancellation. Unfortunately, the staff there were unhelpful and rude, insisting that since we booked through MMT and paid in full for five days, they couldn’t accommodate us. Despite the hotel being nearly empty during our stay, they claimed they couldn’t offer a different room. After two uncomfortable nights, we contacted MMT support and were finally moved to a larger room, which was a relief. However, the buffet area was a letdown, lacking variety , quality and atmosphere. It was disheartening to see the kitchen staff working so hard to provide meals in such a poorly maintained environment, with even their uniforms looking worn and stained. Having previously enjoyed my stay at this property in 2023, the stark decline in quality in 2024 was shocking. The only positives were the prime location and the excellent restaurant staff. This hotel is currently overcharging for what amounts to less than a 3-star experience.

Outstanding hospitality, exceeding our expectations. The hotel is located on the bank of the river Ganges. Our room had an excellent view of the river and the forest covered hills across. Rooms were in very good shape and twice a day there was a call inquiring if there was anything that we needed. There was a verandah with chairs where we could sit and enjoy the view. A flight of stairs led to a lawn and a temple to Mother Ganga. A passage led to a small private ghat where Arati was performed. The hotel served delicious pure vegetarian food. There were some vegetarian Italian and Chinese items too. All of these were topped by hotel staff and supervisors whose politeness and efficiency were exemplary. As we were checking out we were presented with two bottles of Ganfa Jal.

Amazing,helpful front office staff. Bad sales team. Hotel is a bit old, needs renovation. We paid 26k for 1 premium room for 2 nights, room wasn't worth it,we wanted a refund.Goibibo talked to sales team who kept misguiding us. Front office staff upgraded us to the best room available. Sales team even wanted us to pay for my anniversary cake (usually provided free at even half decent hotels , if informed in advance). 3 stars only for the front office staff here(disha and team), extremely worthless and manipulative sales team. I am never booking through goibibo ever in my life, better that people leave honest reviews here. Attaching photos of the room given to us earlier for 26k per night. It was very small and had old furniture, broken window, wooden floor that needs polishing.

Lovely stay,minutest details taken care of from yoga and meditation in morning to live flute playing during breakfast.Courteous staff,Rohit attended to us warmly and took care of our needs. And the view from the property is heartwarming.

Excellent food with wide variety . High hygiene standard . Courteous and smiling staff . Priya was very polite. Nice Arti twice a day on the private ghat of the hotel . Provision of Ganga bathing too is available . Nice place for yoga and meditation too .

What an amazing hotel, nestled right on the river with every room with a view of the Ganga! Very helpful and knowledgeable staff and don't miss their Pahad Thal! That was an experience by itself. The private ghat works very well! All in all, one of a kind experience.
