Joey's Hostel Rishikesh

the interior wasnt as shown in pictures.. also there was a power cut though it was for the whole city for 2 days but there was no backup for the same.. so why did we paid the tariff!!!

Ligts in dorm on bed were not working. Common areas are very bland. Hosts were not coperative. That is all

It was an average budget stay but the staff are very friendly. The room could have been maintained better.

The location is nice, but they have a bit of a drinking water problem, and some of the staff aren't very friendly.

If you love being micromanaged and missing that sweet, overbearing vibe of home, this place has got you covered! Picture this: the same folks who are gleefully cheering on the terrace at 3 AM will immediately take issue when they catch you smoking there. Suddenly, you're told it's 'not allowed after midnight.' Fair enough, When you muster up the courage to take your concern to reception, you’ll be greeted with a minute of pretend listening before the person behind the desk yells ‘Meri baat suno!’ ( Listen to me), well listen to him as long as you are under their roof. And oh, don’t forget the alcohol policy: it’s a big no-no here... unless, of course, you disguise your drink with Coke or Thums Up. if you sip quietly in your own corner, it somehow becomes a problem because—how dare you ? either they will throw your glass or you have to otherwise you can go out (fair enough)but how the hell people can drink alcohol in their pepsi or cola and no attention towards that. Finally, for that cherry on top of this 'homely' experience, the exit point has a shutter system, just to ensure coming and going isn’t too convenient later in the night. If freedom and relaxation are what you’re after, maybe try elsewhere. But if you long to feel like a rebellious teenager under a strict curfew, then by all means, book this place now!

We stayed at the dorm for 2 nights. The dorms were very clean and there was a curtain on every bed for privacy. The washrooms were clean, they cleaned regularly too. There were 2 washrooms in 8 bed dorm. Great location and excellent and friendly staff.
