Hotel and roof top look exactly as advertised had a great stay here for two nights after staying at the disaster that is joeys around the corner. Staff at reception so friendly and helpful with onwards transport. Very clean only been built and opened to public in the last few months I really hope they keep on top of everything as it’s a great location for exploring and very well run at the moment.

Joey's Hostel Rishikesh in Rishīkesh provides adults-only accommodation with a shared lounge, a terrace and a restaurant.

Put it this way if I hadn’t of stayed at joeys Agra I would never be staying at another joeys again. Place doesn’t look anything like the photos it’s falling apart dangerous to stay at (broken rails and black mould EVERYWHERE) the rooftop bar is so unhygienic we didn’t eat there for anything other than our first experience of “breakfast” which in itself (was meant to be included in the room) took ALOT of explaining to staff who didn’t believe us half of the menu wasn’t available then took ages to come and when it did well don’t bother awful and husband got upset tummy after (only time whilst in India or our 2.5 month trip ) our door key entry broken so they have bodged a padlock latch onto the door. Render falling off walls onto floor along side the black mould just left fallen on the floor. After promises of help with onwards transport for a week prior to arrival and during we ended up checking out with no one having been of any help. Within twenty of checking in elsewhere it was sorted. Reception and staff treat it like there house where it’s an inconvenience your there. Walked in on arrival to everyone (working there ) feet up on the tables watching cricket and a rather pungent smell one person checked us in card machine broken and just went well it’s this joeys nothing works was literally what he said. Don’t stay here for 50 p more a night we stayed at backstage and it’s brand new pleasant helpful staff clean etc etc On check in the sheets/blanket were filthy asked for new the new one they gave us equally as dirty as it was for one night we slept on and under our towels and sorongs. Towels stank and were falling apart.

    I recently stayed at Madpacker 2.0 and had a fantastic experience. The hostel was clean, comfortable, and had a friendly atmosphere. The staff were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the local area. I especially enjoyed the small get-togethers they arranged every noon and night, which made it easy to meet fellow travelers. Overall, Madpacker offers excellent value for money and a welcoming environment. Highly recommended for budget-conscious travelers!

    It was the first solo trip of my life and I was really scared. Fortunately, Soul Hostel really helped to calm my anxiety. I stayed in a mixed dormitory for a week and not once I felt unsafe. There were friendly people around in case of an emergency and you get all basic facilities here. I will definitely book my next stay here. You should go for it without any second thought!

Highly recommended for budget travellers seeking a comfortable stay. the food was good with a variety of options. the river was a walkable distance from the establishment. the staff helped with additional arrangements for travelling and places to visit. rooms were private, quiet and safe. I would recommend it to even working professionals who want a quiet getaway and work in peace.

    The whole vibe and people at the hostel. This is how hostels are supposed to be; a community centre to meet new people, learn from each other's experiences and share joy. Loved interacting with Tej, Rahul and Komal. Nicolai was soo full of life, he brought soo much energy to our evenings. It was one of the best hostel stays in recent times.
