Perfect location if you are being picked up for the hike up in the Himalayas. I had booked a king room with air con. Turns out air con only blows cold air and not hot air. Was a bit disappointed. But, it wasn’t that cold for an early Jan winter.

Perfect Stay at Shalom Hostel Rishikesh! I had an amazing stay at Shalom Hostel Rishikesh! Everything about this place was just perfect. The staff was incredibly friendly and always ready to help, making me feel right at home. A special shoutout to Manager Rahul , who were really helpful and went out of their way to ensure we had a great experience. The location is excellent, offering stunning views of the hills, especially during sunset. The Ganga view front of the Café was a highlight—the food was delicious, and the ambiance was just right for a relaxing evening. The overall vibe of the hostel was warm and welcoming, making it a great place to meet Shalom Hostel is the perfect choice. Highly recommended! Specially thanks Rahul bhi he makes very good memories..❤️❤️

Best you can have in affordable prices and the staff was amazing like you’re meeting your friends. Specially the Ankit, Abhishake & Udit Bhai. You can tease Abhishake a little you get nice comebacks from him. You can the pictures with the review. They will help you with all the booking Bungy Jumping rafting and Scooty on rent too. Come on solo trip but made some really good friends. Food is amazing specially the bad ass burger must. See you next time guys.

My wife and me are in our late fifties and our daughters decided to send us to Rishikesh on my wife's birthday. They booked the flight tickets and took the premium room at Shalom Backpackers, Rishikesh paying a hefty price from 28/03/2025 to 31/03/2025. Our ordeal started once we reached the hotel and saw the room. The room was dirty, floors unclean, walls had dampness and at some places the plaster was coming out. There was a stench in the room that was nauseating. The bathrooms were unkempt, unclean with no water pressure and everything like the towels, blankets, bed sheets, glasses, coffee maker etc. seemed unhygienic and unusable. The tv in the room was not functional. The room was effectively on the 6th floor with a terrace and there is no lift facilities making it difficult for older people to go up and down. We did take up all these issues with the management but all that they did was sympathise. All in all it was just burning away your money for nothing.

I had an amazing stay at Rishikesh Shalom Backpackers – truly one of the most peaceful and welcoming places I’ve experienced in Rishikesh. What really made the stay special was the incredible host, Gaurav. He’s not just a host, but a genuinely kind soul who goes out of his way to make every guest feel at home. Whether it was sharing local tips, organizing activities, or just having meaningful conversations over chai, Gaurav's energy created a beautiful and comforting atmosphere. The hostel itself is clean, calm, and filled with good vibes – perfect for solo travelers, backpackers, or anyone looking to connect with like-minded people. It's located in a great spot too – close to the Ganga, yet tucked away enough to enjoy some peace. Highly recommend staying here if you're in Rishikesh. Thank you, Gaurav, for being the heart of this place ♥️♥️
