Yog Niketan by Sanskriti

This hotel was the highlight of our honeymoon. My wife and I checked-in for two nights at the end of our European and Indian holiday and after our yoga and meditation sessions with Aparna (instructor) and Rohit (flautist), we didn’t want to check-out. They are both extremely talented and courteous and made our time here very special. It was such a fulfilling experience to stay here that we can’t wait to come back. The food was excellent, the room was well-appointed and comfortable but it was the staff that truly made this place better than anywhere else. This included the reception, housekeeping, spa and restaurant staff who were all excellent. Some reviews we read mentioned the state of the rooms but we were happy (maybe bring earplugs if staying anywhere in India if you are a light sleeper). It looks like they might be renovating some rooms, but ours was good. We booked the package with breakfast and dinner which was a great idea as the restaurant food is fresh, tasty and nourishing. They also offer free afternoon tea with snacks (savoury and sweet). Rohit played the flute in the garden whilst we ate our breakfast and looked out at the Ganges.

Very peaceful relaxing experience. Everyday nice. The rooms, the stay, the reception, food, the complimentary hatha yoga and meditation by Aparna mam taught me how to start my meditation practise and inculcate in my daily life for me n my daughter, the mesmerising flute music in the morning by Rohit sir - he gave us eye opening music teachings, advices and what music to listen according to the time of the day and it was serenity in my soul. The house keeping services were immediate and security person was very cautious about our safety and comfort. I felt like home and my family. I went with my daughter and everything what we needed was arranged by them effortlessly for me. The Chefs Deepak, Avinash and Vivek were very enthusiastic to cook us south Indian chennai food, also food was provided with love in a quick time without having to wait long like a mother's preparation. It was tasty and also very good and calm on our digestive system. The members Kush, Neeraj and all the members of the restaurant were very kind, always attending us although it was numerous calls, they came with a smiling face, whatever asked for was taken into account with responsibility looked upon in youtube and made for us like Kara kuzhambu, rasam etc. I will go there again since it has become my home kinda. Everyone are always welcoming changing my strees vibe to smiling face, got new friends. Positive vibes was the mantra. I thank Aparna mam and Rohit sir for always kindly incorporating into my mind positivity positivity and positivity only cos they could read my burdened soul.. the meditation was awesome and Aparna mam taught me certain tips to do to relieve anxiety in me n my daughter. I have so much words for Rohit Sirs flute in the mornings. It was magical, peaceful, mesmerising, good emotions bombarding giving a positive feel that our life is changing positively for good and good things are on the way, to embrace our soul change for good. Shika, Ashwini sir, suresh or Manoj (sorry, I really got confused with his name) front reception were very kind for every doubt asked and warm talks and guidance, and reassurance whenever I feared or doubted. I will be going there again. It will continue.

The staff at Yogniketan by Sanskriti truly made my stay unforgettable. From the moment I arrived, their warm and welcoming demeanor set the tone for a peaceful retreat. Every interaction felt genuine, with each member going above and beyond to ensure comfort and satisfaction. Whether it was assisting with yoga schedules, providing information about local attractions, or catering to dietary preferences, their attention to detail and willingness to help was remarkable. The housekeeping team kept the rooms immaculate, and the dining staff made every meal feel like a personalized experience with their friendly service and smiles. Their dedication to creating a serene and nurturing environment for guests is truly commendable. Thank you for your kindness and care. I look forward to visiting again soon!

Beautiful property overlooking the Ganges! The hospitality is excellent and all staff there greet you looking after all your needs. Special mention to Upendra, Laxmi Singh Bhatt, Shikha and Rohit Rawat for their expectionallu good service!! The yoga and meditation sessions at the property are relaxing. The yoga teacher Aparna hosts these sessions and she is very good. The flute master at the property plays soulful tunes during morning breakfast time. My advice is to go for breakfast too if you are booking a room with them. The food is super yummy, highly recommend to try the Garhwali thali. The stunning surreal views of the Ganga river are an added bonus. We had the best experience here. Truly a divine place in Rishikesh.

The combination of breathtaking views, great service, and holistic wellness activities made my stay unforgettable. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the peaceful surroundings and the welcoming energy of the place. Would visit again!
