Indira Nikunj Rubystone Exotic

Great hotel in an ideal location within walking distance of the Parmarth Niketan Ashram and Aarti, plus other temples, ashrams, cafes and shopping area. Lovely, helpful staff and clean rooms. Pros: Super-friendly welcome and service from highly responsive and attentive staff. Clean, comfy rooms with nice toiletries. Wonderful roof terrace with views across the mountains and the Ganges. Tasty, well-cooked food and good menu options in the rooftop restaurant. Cons: Weak Wi-Fi, continually dropping connection. Coffee machine broken, so no freshly brewed coffee at breakfast (only powdered Nescafe). Ask for hot water so you can make an international style coffee. Limited breakfast choices for international guests. If you’re not keen on an Indian-style breakfast, there’s only white ‘air’ bread toast, jam, fruit, curd, cereal (no cold milk). No egg options (this might be due to religious reasons). Suggestion for management: fix your coffee machine or add a hot water urn. It would be great to include a more nutritious brown bread option, honey and a few sealed bananas at breakfast when you have international guests staying.

Worst stay, room had mosquitos & bugs. I visited with my 3 yr old kid & next morning he had so many bug bites on his face, ear & back. Currently we are consulting doctors for treatment. When we asked to change room, the hotel refused and said they cannot change or offer any other room as we have booked not directly.

The place had great views form rooms. Services were good. Staff is very friendly and polite. Food was delicious. Personaly I love the daal makhni and the vibe. They also have a mini pool for small children. I visited with my father and we had a great time sitting on the roof top deck enjoying the view.
