I have visited and stayed in quite a few hotels over the last 20 years in Rishikesh. I am pleased to report that Ganga Kinare (GK) is the best hotel experience I have had in Rishikesh. What I liked bigtime:
Super friendly and efficient check in
Modern, renovated and very clean rooms where everything works and the AC was perfect
Amenities are as advertised and are of good quality and chosen with care
Service is five star. Everybody is focused on customer service and they deliver with a smile
Room service is fast, high quality and the menu covers lots of cuisines and choices, all well done
I have a riverside room on 2nd floor. The view is spectacular, windows are clean and huge
Soundproofing that works. These rooms are soundproofed, and it makes a huge difference
The balcony for dining is wonderful, they have heaters, great service (RAM was awesome) just great.
The front desk provides answers, converts currency/provides smaller bills and cannot do enough to make the stay special. The front desk is just five stars and the best I have experienced
The grounds are beautiful, peaceful and manicured. Secured access to the river is easy to use
Walking the river front and enjoying the sights, sounds and evening ceremonies is wonderful and safe
Transport (Tuk Tuk) is available right out front, the neighborhood is fun to walk and people watch
Quite frankly there is nothing I can list that is a “don’t like”. Everything was great, five stars and I highly suggest staying here!
