Seventh Heaven Rishikesh India

[RB]

We opted for this newish, small 7 room hotel based on good internet reviews. We ended up in a standard room that was comfortable enough. The bed seemed about queen size & firm and short, there was a small desk area, a couple of chairs for the small shared balcony & the separate bathroom had its own hot water supply. No TV but it wasn’t missed & the free wifi signal did not get as far as the room but was good around the reception area. There is a rooftop available for sitting & enjoying the district views. The rooftop also hosts the kitchen with outdoor seating or an enclosed room-the strong wind (from about 8pm to 9am every day) meant we ate dinner inside. The food was a highlight. Our late lunch was off the all-day breakfast menu & at night we opted to share Indian dishes-they do have eggs here but the whole town is alcohol free. It surely is a small world when our driver recognised the hotel owner from when the owner used to work at the front desk of a hotel in Rajasthan.

Rooftop area-great during the day but windy at night
