I am a professional photojournalist for National Geographic and have traveled extensively in 165 countries, during which I have stayed at many good and some bad hotels. The Hotel Gharonda is a low quality place with an unethical and uncaring owner, by the name of Ashish Narang. I had made a reservation for this hotel but when I arrived found the hotel to have misrepresented itself; there was no window in the very small bed room. I asked for the owner to cancel the reservation, which is possible through Hotels.com, but he refused to do so and would not refund my money. Hotels.com was very understanding of my situation and refunded the money even though the owner of the Gharonda refused to help me. I have traveled extensively in India during 16 trips to all of the country’s 29 states and feel that Ashish Narang is one of the least helpful and most unethical hotel managers I have ever encountered. There are many other hotels in the city of Rishikesh and I recommend that visitors choose another hotel.…
Comfortable rooms, excellent food! The view from the restaurant above is awesome. Try their Hara Bhara Kebab, Mocktails, Nacho mixture and Pasta. Worth every penny. Also the staff is very cooperative.
