    Nothing of that sorts. Everything was on point and comfortable.

    The overall stay and the experience to be at a hostel was amazing. Kudos to Om and Divyanshu for their lovely hospitality and helpful behavior towards every guest.

    Nothing in my mind.

    The location is top notch, silent, peaceful & great for relaxation. The room / bed was very comfortable & cool temperature wise, There was a water problem @ night, the host went down & got a full bucket of water straight from the river for me. Loved his energy! Thanks for hosting & i had a great great time with everyone. Great cost & Highly recommend!

    I recently stayed at the Hobbit Hotel, which also operates as a hostel, and had an absolutely fantastic experience. The service here is outstanding — the staff are friendly, helpful, and go out of their way to make you feel at home. The location couldn’t be better, nestled close to nature yet easily accessible, making it perfect for both relaxation and adventure. It’s definitely worth every penny! One of the highlights of my stay was meeting so many amazing people from different parts of the world — the vibe is incredibly friendly and social. Special mention to Divyanshu, the owner, who is an exceptional host. He personally took us to some hidden, beautiful spots around the area that you wouldn't easily find on your own. His passion for hospitality truly shines through. Another gem is the stunning waterfall located right beside the hostel — a perfect place to unwind and soak in the beauty of nature. Overall, the Hobbit Hotel is a wonderful blend of comfort, adventure, and community. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a memorable stay!

    The rooms weren't equipped with AC or a central fan.

    The place was near a small river creek which was very pleasant for night and early mornings.

    The host is really nice and helpful. It felt like home, food was homely. People were nice. To be honest it was my best stay in rishikesh. It has something in that place that made me feel peaceful. This gateway was required, looking forward to visiting again.

    The hot water is a bit temperamental

    It felt like coming into the living room of a share house, everyone was welcoming and I felt like meeting old friends. The food and chai were delicious and the staff were helpful, the best sleep I had in India so far. The location is peaceful, close to waterfalls away from the busy streets.
