We spent two nights in Rishikesh and were sooo looking forward to this hotel. We had received amazing reviews of it from others and kind of felt this would be a place in heaven. It is, but it certainly wasn't the hotel! I think the proximity of the holy river gets many Indians a bit excited about it (see pics),... More

This has been one of my best holidays ever. The property is well located, extremely clean and the staff very warm and accomodating. The sound of the river and view of the river in a moonlit night is something very difficult to find in the commercialised holidays. I would definitely want to come back here with a larger group!

The houses are anything but glass! The rooms are small but comfortable, the bed was too small to fit in a 6feet 1inch tall. The bathroom is basic. Over all look and feel of a room is not worth the money you pay. But there are positive points: The Location sells, the warmth is welcoming, the cleanliness is remarkable, the... More

While driving down from Delhi the first thing that strikes you is the long road to Rishikesh. Once I crossed Haridwar, the condition of the road was pathetic to say the least. But once I parked at the property and checked into the tent that we had booked, all the driving to this hotel seemed worth. Bright sunshine and the... More

I've stayed at Glasshouse on 2 occasions...for the first time in 1998, which I have to say on first impression at that time was pure magic (musty rooms or not!). To start with, the location is unbeatable. It is on the holy Ganga (Ganges River) and it is something very special how this historic river at this point, flows from... More

We are based in Boston and stayed in this property while on a trip to the Himalayas. The location of the hotel is very good but the rooms are awful. They have an unclean look and smell musty. To make matters worse, we had mice in our room which had eaten through the couch. When we called management, they sent... More

We went to the Galsshouse in the last week of Oct 2011. From past reviews we were aware of the fact that it is one of the less architecturally interesting Neemrana properties, and were not expecting Luxury. The location is the best part about the glass house. We stayed in the cottages Uttara and Nadiya which are very close to... More

The location of this property is right next to the Ganges. It has huge Lychee and Mango trees all over the property. The rooms are average. They had a very musty smell and plaster was falling off in some places. This is more like a 3 star property even though listed as a 5 star. Their lobby and dining area... More

My experience at the Glasshouse can only be summed up in 1 word - Surreal. Peaceful, exotic locale and awesome property is how I would describe my stay. If you are looking for complete peace of mind and want to get away from the maddening rush of ur everyday city life, this is the place to be. A cool 6... More
