We stayed there for 2 nights a few days back and experience was flawless, apart from a minor hiccup at check - in where they were not sure whether we had two rooms booked or one. The rooms took an hour to get ready and we had lunch at their restaurant in the mean time. We had booked two Royal Rooms, however, one of our room got upgraded to Maharani Suite. The Hotel is right in middle of Tapovan and has amazing views of Ganges. We had views off Ganges from the room from our window as well as balcony. The rooms, do need a bit of refurbishing, but were neat and clean and well maintained. The bathroom was big and had all toiletries, and wi - fi worked well. They have a small bakery cum cafe, as well as an amazing pool, and have direct access to the Ganges. It is a fair amount of walk, but they have strategically placed elevators for Senior citizens. If you are looking for a great hotel in heart of the city with stunning views of the Ganges, this is the place for you. Ofcourse, it is on the pricey side, given the age of the property, but the views more than make up for it. We had all our meals at the restaurant, the service was top notch and food options were delicious. Room service and housekeeping was also prompt and friendly. We will definitely recommend this hotel if anyone wants to stay in central Rishikesh.
