Indian Culture

Very biased behaviour towards Indians. The hostel owner and manager only values foreigners and the difference is clearly visible. We were told to have self service and they were serving to foreigners.

The washroom was not clean. Their mattress was very hard cannot be compared to another renowned hostels.

People have been living there for more than 6 months. So they throw their stuff around here and there and treat the dorm as their home. Other than that very beautiful hostel, pics are insta worthy.

Left after the first night, nice place, no atmosphere. Book here if you want a hotel

1. All the main gates remain open/unlocked throughout the night. There's no watchman or security. 2. The owner (the bald Indian guy) treats Indians badly coz most people staying there are foreigners, whom he treats well (read: creepily). I was there for Holi and he came with fists full of colours AND W/O ASKING FOR CONSENT RUBBED IT ALL OVER MY FACE. 3. The water dispensers were out of water most of the time. 4. They don't turn on the AC in the day even if it's very very hot.

The studio is very pretty and neat but it’s located right at the entrance so there is hardly any privacy. People who can’t sleep in light, beware as this place has glass windows right around the studio keeping it very bright even at midnight. Too bright to sleep.

Things I liked: Very clean, lots of greenery and flowers, mountain view, delicious and good quality food cafe, nice location. Difficulties I faced: wifi coverage and strength not satisfactory, open drain pipes at ground level spread bad smell in commkn areas and sometimes in dorm, because of trees around there are lots of mosquitoes, dust and frequent power cuts (common in rishikesh i guess). I mainly had a good time here because of other fellow travellers I met here.

Overall good.

It was my first stay at a hostel and I enjoyed my stay there. Hostel is well located. Market and ghats etc are nearby. One thing I liked is that rooms are all on the ground floor unlike other hostels where it feels like living in apartments. It has a nice rustic vibe. Staff is friendly. It's for those who like serene and calm atmosphere. I strongly recommend this hostel.

was decent. staff was very friendly. location was close to the ganga and right behind a parking lot, meaning it was relatively quiet at night, however, you have to walk down the parking lot every time you leave, which felt a bit scary during the night. the rooms were clean and the small garden lovely.

A peaceful place in between a crowded area of rishikesh. The owner and staff are nice and helpful. They have a nice sitting area with a cafe with good food. A large common room for relaxing and a lot of greenery. I'll definitely recommend this place in rishikesh for travelers.

Amazing property!

Hostel muito bom! Limpo, organizado, e o pessoal muito gente boa!! E fica em um local tranquilo :) super recomendo!!

Meilleur hostel de Tapovan, foncez

Quiet, peaceful and clean hostel

Best location in Tapovan to stay as a solo traveller. Great location, hygiene and security. Definitely recommended.

Awosome stay, i loved it

everything is always good here.

This hostel felt like home since the first moment I’ve walk in! Everyone is super friendly, warm and always willing to help you with anything! I found that this hostel was the perfect balance between a social environment and places where you can enjoy your solo moments. And to end, Marta and Chai, the most lovely dogs ever! I’ll be returning here every time I came back to Rishikesh :))

Best hostel in Rishikesh , so much that i had to come back , thank you so much and the place is so beautiful

Five reasons this is the best hostel in Rishikesh: 1. The cleanest hostel I’ve stayed in in India—rooms, bathrooms, and common areas are consistently spotless. 2. The owner, Sankal, genuinely cares about people and brings guests together with real intention. 3. A rare garden-like outdoor space that feels like a peaceful oasis. 4. Beautiful morning sunlight that most hostels here don’t get. 5. A strong sense of community—if you stay a while, you’ll make real friends.

This is the one you wanna book. The location couldn’t be better. Slightly off the main road so it’s not as noisy, but is still right on the main road! Everything you need right outside the door. And the outdoor space!!! My oh my. The perfect hostel. Amazing staff. Cafe/Restaurant on-site. A place to sit in the trees in the sun, a place to sit inside in the sun. It was just a bonus that the beds were comfy, had curtains, the lockers were huge, and the washrooms were clean. Book it!!!!!!!

Honestly such a wonderful place to stay in Rishiskesh. A peaceful welcoming place in a great location. Felt super safe here as a woman travelling alone. Stayed in the female dorm and made lots of friends in the process. In a great location you can walk to the ganges and around tapovan / laxman jhula. Lots of grattitude and would stay here again when in Rishikesh 🫶

Loved my stay at indian culture. Met many new people and enjoyed my time there. I loved the duvet!

Tolles Hostel mit entspannter Atmosphäre. Die Zimmer sind sauber und werden täglich gereinigt. Der Außenbereich ist wirklich angenehm – viele Ecken, um alleine abzuschalten oder mit anderen ins Gespräch zu kommen. Die Lage ist für Rishikesh überraschend ruhig. Im Hostel selbst gibt es gutes Essen zu fairen Preisen, und direkt gegenüber findet man einen der besten Imbisse der Stadt. Klare Empfehlung.

Amazing place! Owner is the sweetest and most reliable woman, very good communication.

I had a really good time in this hostel. I ended up staying there for 10 days. It was clean (the dorms are cleaned everyday) and safe (as a female solo traveller I really appreciated the female only dorm). The atmosphere is really nice, people are friendly, the hostel also has a cute little cafe, the common areas are quite cosy and you'll probably meet other nice travellers there ! I would definitely recommend this place.

I had a great time at this hostel. Everything was clean, the beds were really comfortable, and the garden was beautiful — a perfect place to relax. The location is excellent, close to everything you need. I also met so many lovely people during my stay. Highly recommended!

Amazing hostel. Private room is clean and spacious and well stocked with amenities, and there are multiple super comfortable and ventilated places to sit and relax and have something to eat. Staff are so friendly and chatty, we left feeling like we were leaving family! Hostel is right next to Laxman Jhula and very central to a lot of shops and cafes. Would 100% come back just for this hostel.
