Long story short: the owner let me stay in this hostel for free when I had no other place to stay.I was traveling in India without money, sleeping on the beach here in Rishikes and eating free meals for poor in a local Ashram.I came to this hostel asking about volunteering opportunities. And the owner of this hotel, Anshu, gave me some simple (for me) online work, when no other hostel in Rishikesh needed any volunteers (and I've tried a lot of hostels).And later they even let me stay and eat there for free without doing any work. And I did stayed here for 2 month. And I even got my private room and not just bed in the dormitry.So I thank Anshu for her kindness. It helped me a lot.And also I add that the stuff in this hostel: Prince and Sanju are very good people.Easily 5 stars.

I recently stayed at this spot’ damn that truly impressed me with its fantastic music atmosphere. The diverse range of genres played throughout the common areas created a vibrant and energetic ambiance. Whether you're into indie, electronic, or classic rock,or another kind there's something for everyone. The hostel's commitment to a lively musical experience adds a unique touch to the overall stay, making it a standout choice for music enthusiasts. The staff were friendly, and the communal spaces provided a great opportunity to connect with fellow travelers over shared musical interests. If you're looking for a hostel that goes beyond just accommodation and offers a memorable musical experience, this is the place to be.

I love this place and its vibe I've stayed here multiple times, can't even imagine staying at other place while being in rishikesh. Rooms and food-outstandingThe host Aditya is amazing person ✨️I consider myself very lucky that I met these people( who manage the property) and I got to experience 'hospitality' at its 👌 best. Lastly a lot to learn from them as they are very knowledgeable and loving beings ❤️Not everything can be expressed in words so I'm dropping some pictures and videos of my group from our last stay...
