Great location about 1km out of Rishikesh village fantastic selection of Ayuvedic treatment places at the door and the restaurant at the guesthouse is terrific. A lovely walk into Rishikesh and then back to a quiet spot out of the way from the hustle and bustle. Yoga classes were great. The only downside was some of the hotel staff were... More

Last november I stayed for about 2 weeks here in Hill Top Swiss Cottages. It was a nice place, near the top of a hill and from the rooftop you could overlook the Ganges towards the Himalaya. The rooms were clean, hot water running and the matrasses were good. Keep in mind that the better the view of your room... More

I had a wonderful stay at hill top. The rooms are large and clean with hot showers and very friendly and helpful staff. For me, the location was perfect, tucked away on the hill top with great views and vibes. I couldnt recommend it more!

The staff was so sweet and very helpful! It's located up in the mountains with a beautiful view and you can practice yoga on the roof terraces. We stayed in a 700rs room which was very basic, not very clean (not at all with scandinavian standards, but it's not scandinavia). Towels were given to us when we asked for them... More

We stayed in Hill Top Swiss Cottage for a week in October. Such a perfect hideaway after the mayhem of Delhi. We we're slightly apprehensive that the hotel would be in the middle of nowhere but we're pleased to find plenty of amenities in the area including restaurants, tourist offices, internet places as well as yoga halls and massage facilities....

Two floors - or more like two hotels, one new and the other fairly new. They have a terrace with an amazing view all around and a very friendly owner -... More
