If you're staying in Rishikesh and dont want to stay in an ashram, then you should stay here. Although you can hear the road, it's still a distance away and you are left with the ambience of this beautiful guesthouse. Owned and run by Nepalese, this is a relaxed place with EXCELLENT food. The rooms are basic but attached shower,... More

We stayed here for 9 nights in February. This was basically our base as we planned the next leg of our trip and got some things done on the computer. We paid 100 rupees a day for wifi access and it worked on the top floor. We had an amazing view of Laxman Ghat, and it took only 10 minutes... More

We stayed in Bhandari Swiss Cottages for 5 nights after moving from the newer and supposedly better New Bhandari Swiss Cottages (according to the LP anyway). This place had a much nicer atmosphere and a wonderful little restaurant serving excellent continental as well as Indian food. The freshly baked bread was a particular highlight. Situated in high bank, on a... More

Food is delicious in restra with a friendly staff. You might like to try "Spinach Mushroom Sauce Pasta", "Cheese Breakfast" for breakfast. They dont provide Internet... More

We stayed here one night because we had been recommended it by a friend who stayed several years ago. We arrived in town late after a long day and couldn't look for somewhere else. We stayed in the large room on the top floor and it was very unpleasant, the toilet was leaking, neither of the two showers in the... More

We chose to stay a bit out of the hustle and bustle. New bhandari is well priced, and only a cheap rickshaw ride or short walk across the bridge if u want to get in amongst it. Nice and clean, lovely view from the top More

We got there and there was not water and no electricity. Since we needed to work and internet connection we went to look for another place. Rooms are very basic and dirty. We expected to have a decent place to rest and relax for a week, instead we moved out one hour later after we got there and we had... More

We stayed at Bhandari Swiss cottages for 4 nights. The rooms are clean, quite spacious, and pleasant. Although they range in price from 200 - 1000 rupees, there is not a huge difference between these rooms. What really makes this place special though, is the amazingly friendly staff, who are always there to help and have a great attitude! Also... More
