This was the best hostel I stayed in in Rishikesh! Abhay is super friendly and welcoming :) If you have any questions he'll be there to help you! The rooms are nice and cozy the hostel and bathrooms are super clean. Also, there is a Café on the rooftop which is nice to chill at and the hostel is located in a good position close to nice Cafés and not far from the ganga. Would always come again! Thank youuu!

I had a wonderful stay at Namaste Hostel in Rishikesh. The dorms were clean, comfortable, and budget-friendly, with a relaxed vibe that makes it easy to meet fellow travelers. Located in the heart of Tapovan, it’s close to cafes, yoga centers, and just a short walk from the Ganga. A special thanks to Sumit for being such a kind and helpful host — always welcoming, guiding guests with local recommendations, and making everyone feel at home. Highly recommended for a peaceful and friendly stay in Rishikesh.

Urban Loft in Rishikesh is honestly one of the most memorable hostels I’ve ever stayed at. The moment you walk in, you feel this warm, creative, easygoing energy that makes you settle in instantly. The environment is vibrant yet peaceful—perfect for travelers who want a mix of comfort, community, and inspiration. The location couldn’t be better. Tucked just far enough away to be quiet at night but close enough to the main spots, cafés, and the Ganga, it gives you the best of both worlds. Morning walks feel magical here. The people are what truly make Urban Loft special. Every traveler you meet brings a story, and it’s so easy to make genuine connections. There’s this natural sense of belonging that develops without any effort. The management team deserves huge appreciation. They’re friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in making your stay smooth and enjoyable. You can tell they care about the place and everyone who walks through the door. A special mention to Kami, who was honestly a highlight of our stay. She has this amazing artistic spirit—she showed us her artwork, shared stories, and brought a spark of creativity into the space that made the whole experience even richer. Her presence adds a unique charm to Urban Loft, and anyone who meets her will understand what I mean. If you want to know even more about the hostel, feel free to check out my YouTube channel: Gurmeet Haryana, where I’ve shared a full vlog of the place. You can also find more updates and photos on my Instagram: gurmeet_haryana. Overall, Urban Loft isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place to feel inspired, connected, and at home. Highly recommended, and I’d love to come back again! ✨🏔️

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

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!
