Official Description (provided by the hotel):: The Glasshouse on the Ganges, honours an extraordinary geographical site where the Ganga turns around and flows north towards its source. It is a magical natural spot. Set in a lychee and mango orchard of the Maharajas of Tehri Garhwal, with a garden of tropical plants, full of rare birds and butterflies, it has a sand beach of its own.After the maddening hustle of the crowds which throng the daily dip or the Kumbh Mela, there is no better haven of calm anywhere in the vicinity of Rishikesh. It is known for its serene and spiritual atmosphere. You can easily commute between the Glasshouse and the crowded pilgrimage spots without feeling the strain of its fascinating but continuous oppression of numbers–the calmest bank to watch the Kumbh! You can enjoy an evening Arti at the Parmarth Niketan Ashram. You could also visit the Ram Jhula and the Lakshman Jhula. ... more less

We spent two days one night here on our way from Rishikesh to Mussoorie as a stopover. I had no idea about the resort and thought of experimenting since it was about one night. To my good fortune, the hotel turned out to be the best part of our entire trip. The Hotel has a rustic, historical look being a... More

“A lovely hotel in a beautiful place!”

Reviewed 2 June 2013

I spent two days here in february 2013. I was on holiday from UK, and needed to relax. The hotel was clean and comfortable. The garden was edged by a glacial blue river Ganges. The hills were all around, and the air was so pure. Every meal was delicious- high quality Indian dishes,and there was a fire in the lounge... More

Below average hotel. No water in the showers, massage was below average. Massaged lady was not available till 9am . No person to give a man a massage. No room service. Food was super oily and spicy. Not edible.... Paid 9000 for the room which was not worth more than 5000

A nice hotel and very helpful staff. Santosh was particularly professional. Do the walk back along the river from the bridge. Not a luxury hotel but a wonderful environment. I am frightfully sad to be leaving.

“The sound of the river”

Reviewed 12 April 2013

One look at the location after arriving at the Glasshouse after a long journey all tiredness is forgotten, the sound of the river is invigorating. Not a 'heritage' property like most other Neemrana properties, the beautifully appointed rooms make up for the rather lacklustre building design and the inquisitive monkeys. The shower though is not great, the pressure weak and... More

“MIxed Experience”

The property is very uniquely located. We stayed in the rooms and the tents for a couple of nights each. Our two rooms (which were priced at five star rates of Rs 11,500 each) were charming but overpriced. The bathroom in the Kaveri room reeked of sewage. Our other room was just fine.
