Sanskriti Vedic Retreat

Beautiful small hotel with lovely cafe/restaurant terrace overlooking Gange.Rooms are big and beautifully furnished, spa with massage is definitively a plus!! Staff is very kind and helpful, Highly recommend, as a female solo traveller felt safe and taken care of :-)

This is a great boutique hotel overlooking the Ganges River. They have a roof top restaurant and the food is very good. They provide laundry service, spa and room service. The staff is excellent

I lived the hotel. The only thing to consider is there are stairs no elevator

Perfect Location! The Gangaji ghaat is just below the hotel (1 minute distance). Clean and comfy rooms. Breakfast was excellent with a good spread and the menu is changed everyday. Loved their chhole bhature, sandwiches, poha, stuffed poori, besan chila, shakes and the perfect tea! They even have fresh cut fruits at the breakfast. The view from the restaurant is just awesome!

The location was good. Right next to the ganga River. The staff were very helpful. Restaurant serves good food, and the view from there is awesome.

Need to improve cleanliness

Location of the property, staff hospitality and the restaurant with Ganga view

Occasional flies in the room

The staff here are amazing. Special thank you to Kuldeep for going the extra mile - superb guest/customer orientation. Also special mentions to Abhishek who is so helpful, Sravan, Ajay and Vishal for great service - caring support and positive energy from all. I greatly appreciate the special room request on booking, cafe overlooking beautiful Ganga Ma, and close proximity to the blessing of Sivananda Divine Life Ashram. The Ayurvedic massage therapists are authentically skilled and help hugely after long travels - special thank you to Rinki. This is a simple, no frills hotel - yet the wonderful staff, positive vibrations, clean rooms, and great location close to holy places makes this one of my favourite places to stay. Thank you to a truly wonderful team at Sanskriti.

They have awesome restaurant with great view and super tasty food...Pizza was surprisingly good, didnt expect this.

have to park vehicle slightly away and rishikesh gets crowdy on weekends.

Receptionist was helpful...Kuldeep tolerating me and was a real gentleman....Breakfast was great with nice variety...Ganga views was stunning...Highly recommended anytime....Will stay there again...Thanks to the very friendly restaurant staff...

Massage wasn't that great for the price.

Best Service and hospitality.Best location - right next to Ganga river and Ram jula.Best food - amazing breakfast options and very tasty lunch and dinner.Best spa options.Best suggestion by staff for local visits. Kuldeep even arranged us a Scott hire to be dropped and picked up from the retreat. Unforgettable stay. We loved everything about the retreat and Rishikesh overall.

There was nothing we didn’t like

Nice view, good location, excellent food

Food, room, location and view from cafe were excellent. Service was exceptional.

There is nothing we didn’t like.However, providing proper instructions to reach the hotel before arrival would be helpful, as the vehicle does not go directly to the hotel.

Great hotel, very clean, perfect location, I tried all their services: meditation and yoga (complimentary) - amazing experience, cafe - stunning best view and delicious food, massage (average good). Very spacious room overlooking the mountains and river, very caring staff.

Some bathroom facilities void have been better checked: toilet was hard to flush, there was liquid soap dispenser on the wall but no soap inside, sometimes during the day there was no water at all. Very weak wifi

Staff in all areas were excellent & helpful- they really made the stay.Cafe overlooking the river is an absolute highlight Location couldn’t be better

Room could have been better serviced, but not an issue

This was my second stay in Sanskriti, I stayed for three weeks. The location is perfect for all kinds of activities, since it is very close to Sivananda Ashram, Ram Jhula and the boat connection across the Ganga and you can easily reach Rishikesh centre, Tapovan and Lakshman Jhula. Rooms are well equipped with a balcony and view on the Ganga. You enjoy the most beautiful view on Ganga and the mountains from the restaurant, where healthy and tasty vegetarian meals are served. The whole place is neat and clean. Staff is friendly and helpful (special thanks to Kulpeet, Shravan, Abishek and Vishal) and the atmosphere is welcoming.

It’s well located. Clean and quieter than main ram jula area

Gorgeous view of the river, amazing staff, perfect location for the major sights. Really enjoyed the yoga and meditation classes. Breakfast was delicious.

One day a monkey came in the room and stole our sugar.

Everything, the location, atmosphere, hygienic conditions , spiritual ambience, exceptional staff, especially Shravan Pundir and Vishal whom went beyond their duties in making our stay so awesome with such warmth and humility. They are exceptional souls at such tender ages. Not forgetting the cook who whipped up the most divine meals every single day. God Bless everyone who ensured our stay was the most memorable of all the cities we visited in India. The magic and pulse of Maha Khumba was most saturated in Rishikesh spilling over into Sanskriti Retreat.. How blessed were us to have been privileged to experience such a momentous once in a lifetime spiritual elevation like no other. We feel truly blessed to have been there to soak it all in at a perfect paradise as Sanskriti Vedic Retreat. Oceans of gratitude , God's divine blessings upon all of you , and all our South African love. ❤️

Problems with room shower, but was sorted out.

Nice cozy stay near ram zulla in the centre of hrishikesh .all attractions are just on walkable distance or easily approachable by share rickshaw. Staff is very helpful ? and arranges all things as per your need .The best part is restaurant from where you can have a nice ganga view.Food quality is very good serving a variety of cuisines.Overall value for money ,like to stay again over there

No lift that is the only drawback

First time in Rishikesh and India was unsure as a solo traveller where to stay. I loved staying here at Sankriti Vedic Retreat hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, Ravi and Kuldeep at reception and Shravan at the restaurant, a big thank you to all the staff. The bed was super comfy and the room is a little older yet clean and felt safe, I slept so well. They offer meditation class in the evening and yoga in the morning with Punam which I highly recommend! It’s very close to popular sites and Ram Jhula walking over the holy Ganges River. Food was great and the service great! I will definitely be staying here next time I’m in Rishikesh!

Access via stairs only, not a dislike just important to know.

This retreat on the banks of the Ganges has wonder views from the restaurant. Also the room has a wonder balcony. Food is great, amazing breakfast and for dinner. Great location and value. Staff are wonderful, especially Sharvan in the restaurant. Would definitely stay again.
