This was the most expensive place we stayed during our 7 week India trip and it was worth it. The customer service rivals any place that we've ever stayed. The front desk, the front and rear door security, the restaurant workers (especially the manager Rohit), and random staff always provided excellent service with a smile and a "Namaste". Even though the property fronts a busy road, the back of the property overlooks the Ganges and is quite peaceful. The views from the top 2 floors are great. The rooms are big with nice amenities and a balcony. The property has a yoga studio (free morning yoga and afternoon meditation classes) and a spa (expensive). The restaurant is fantastic. Breakfast and afternoon tea are included. The quality and variety are really good, and they have stuff you can order besides the buffet items. You probably don't need to eat another meal. Front desk can arrange taxis and laundry service which is convenient. Great location - you have access out the back gate to the promenade along the ghats and river. Easy walk to the Ram Jhula and Janki Jhula.

Beautiful spacious room with exceptional views of Ganga river and Parmath Niketan. We have spend three beautiful days relaxing at Yog Niketan Sanskriti enjoying the views, the proximity of Ganger river for morning yoga and meditation. From the balcony we could hear the Ganga aarti chanting from Parmath Niketan. Everyone at Yog Niketan Sanskriti made us feel welcomed. The food was great, we loved the breakfast (the pudding was magic) the high tea and the pastas! Thank you to each one of you who made our stay in Rishikesh truly serene and heavenly.

Yog Niketan was an unforgettable stay. The staff and hospitality were truly incredible — everyone went above and beyond to make the experience special. The views are unmatched; I’d say it’s probably the best Ganga balcony view you’ll find in Rishikesh. I’d definitely recommend booking the Deluxe Room, as you get a private balcony overlooking the river — waking up to that was magical. Having private access to the Ganga at any time was such a blessing. The spa was another highlight — I did the 1-hour Ayurvedic massage with sauna and it was honestly the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommend. Food was world-class. Chef Rohit, in particular, was outstanding — not only was the food delicious, but his warmth and personal touch made it feel one-of-a-kind. Between the location, the views, the service, and the food, this place has it all. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend!

Wow, where to I start? I've visited Rishikesh many times over the span of several decades (!). Many different types of hotels, many locations all around the town. Yog Niketan by far wins my "Favorite" award. I will never stay anywhere else again. In fact I plan to return next year with a group of friends to celebrate a big birthday, and we are all definitely staying at Yog Niketan. This location in Ram Jhule (the quieter part of town) is perfect, on the banks of Ganga. Access to the river promenade is literally out the gate, and you are there. Easy to access Ganga Aarti, a dip in the river, and long strolls all the way down to Triveni Ghat, or up to the Ram Jhule bridge. Pretty much everything is walkable. Rooms are simple and very clean, and have all the requirements of a private shower, comfortable bed and bedding, desk and chair, fan and air conditioning, and best of all, patio or balcony views over the Ganga. Sometimes I just sat and watched the world (and people, cows, rafts, etc.) go by. You can hear Ganga Aarti from across the river each evening. The restaurant is good. Flavorful wholesome food, with very accommodating staff (especially Rohit who kindly provided TLC and extra veggies for me). I liked the full breakfast, plus the afternoon tea which offered plenty of chai and a variety of food. The spa is excellent! Warmly managed by Ramesh-ji, I had 4 treatments with Dhavendra. He is very skilled and experienced and professional. Highly recommended. I'll wrap up with commendation for the front desk manager, Mr. Yajuwendra Negi. He was always genuinely smiling and super helpful. I felt right at home from arrival to departure. I also want to mention Rohit, Shikha and lillavi at the desk, who were so amazing and helpful. My only regret in this review is that I might have missed some names. Literally everyone, 100%, were so wonderful and caring. Yog Niketan is among my all-time favorite places to stay.

I have visited this hotel three times already. My journey first brought me here six years ago. It is truly heartwarming to experience that, over the years, the hotel’s standards have not diminished in the slightest – rather, they have only improved. The service remains warm and attentive, reflecting the true essence of Indian hospitality. The food is rich and thoughtfully prepared, taking into account various taste preferences and the principles of Ayurveda. There are lighter, mildly flavored dishes that are perfect for guests who have undergone the Panchakarma process, as well as more nourishing and spicier options for those who require more energy. Mornings here begin with a peaceful yoga practice, where the instructor guides each participant with loving care. The asanas are carefully chosen to offer a pleasant challenge for experienced practitioners while remaining perfectly suitable for those who have yet to incorporate physical practice into their daily routine. After a refreshing yoga session, sitting on the banks of the sacred Ganges bathed in golden morning light, savoring a delicious sattvic breakfast, feeling the sincere smiles of the staff, and letting oneself be carried away by the celestial sounds of the bansuri – this is true spiritual bliss, a moment where the soul feels at home.

Yog Niketan by Sanskriti, a heritage property is a perfect and only place one should choose to stay in Rishikesh if you wish to truly immerse into the holy vibe of the place and its serenity. Our room overlooking the Ganges, was very comfortable with all amenities one needs. The hospitality with the most courteous and attentive staff tops it up, along with very delicious food and spa treatments. The hotel situated on the ghat, has straight and easy accessibility to the Ganga river and to places where the rituals of Ganga Aarti takes place. We had the most beautiful spiritual experience ever, with the lifetime blessings of Ganga Jal in a beautiful kalash from them. We recommend everyone to choose Yog Niketan instead of any hill resort if you wish to make your spiritual experience worthwhile in Rishikesh. Our special thank you to Mansi, Negi, Rohit and Upinder for making our experience most memorable. Thank you & regards, Bhavik Trivedi. Sonal Trivedi.

Staff, food, location, spa, yoga class, outside guide available through hotel (Pankaj Kothari Rishikesh) was all top notch. Everyone went out of their way to accommodate your every need. 5 star quality food, staff, spa service, tour guide, yoga class. Loved Arpana's yoga class-she taught to all levels in the room. I loved her calm voice and patience with students. Preeti was an amazing spa therapist. Wonderful massage, reflexology and shirodhara -will definitely put you to sleep. The restaurant manger, Rohit was over and above accommodating. He was very personable and such a delight. The front desk staff manger was very friendly, professional and extremely personable. I hired an outside tour guide and that absolutely made my trip the most memorable. We were treated like queens and had the VIP treatment when we went to both arrtis. If looking for a guide, you must hire Pankaj Kothari; the hotel can provide his contact details.

I had the pleasure of staying at a delightful hotel nestled on the serene banks of the Ganges, and I cannot sing its praises enough. From the moment I stepped foot inside, it felt like a home away from home. The perfect location by the river provided a calming atmosphere that set the tone for a truly peaceful stay. One of the highlights of my visit was the varied breakfast options offered every morning,there was something to suit every palate. The in-house spa was a sanctuary of relaxation, offering rejuvenating treatments that left me feeling pampered and refreshed. What truly set this hotel apart was its exceptional staff. From the warm welcome at check-in to the attentive service throughout my stay, every staff member went above and beyond to ensure I had a memorable experience. Their kindness and professionalism were truly commendable. As if all of this wasn't enough, the hotel also offered complimentary yoga and meditation classes. This thoughtful touch added an extra layer of tranquility to my stay and left me feeling both physically and mentally rejuvenated. I highly recommend this exceptional hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat by the Ganges. The combination of a perfect location, welcoming ambiance, top-notch amenities, and outstanding staff make it a true gem that should not be missed.

Everything, the spiritual ambiance of the hotel, the good, the quick service, everything. I would like to appreciate everyone, especially Kush, the Chefs Deepak, Avinash, Vivek, and also neeraj, shika, ashwini sir, the security, the front desk people who were very prompt in everything. The house keeping incharge, the person who was in charge of the locker, tv, electronics, and the flute music by Rohit sir in the mornings were mesmerizing, and the meditation 🧘♂️ 🧘♀️ session in the evening were positive loading and 😌 relaxing. I love them all. The food was good and easy on the gut. The chefs were so concerned to provide us with the south Indian dishes we asked for.

Very convenient location. Very helpful staff. Helped us with all required arrangements for rafting and other required guidance. Thanks to Mr. Negi for his help. Food was also good . The best experience was our Ganga snan, as we could just walk out of our room, do the snan and get back to room. Very convenient location . Thanks Yog Niketan by Sanskriti, for making this a memorable stay.
