Dewa Retreat- A Himalayan Boutique Hotel

Great stay again at Dewa retreat, especially appreciated the staff: they upgraded me and let me check in early which was really a blessing after arriving from a 15h journey at 9am. The location is perfect with a beautiful view. & the bed is super comfy! Also the breakfast is amazing! I left all refreshed! It’s great, relaxed place to ‘land’ in India and Rishikesh before venturing off. Thank you thank you!!

The rooms on the street side are kind of noisy (lots of dogs howling). You pay kind of a premium when booking through hotel (for example airport pick up is 1300, whereas a taxi would only be 800 roepies).

Everything was excellent (friendly staff, perfect breakfast, etc). Even though it was cold outside, we were provided with the heater, so it was warm and nice. Thanks

The Soul cafe organic kitchen. Really a great place to enjoy healthy food and chill on the cushions.

Good location, if you would like to stay in the Tapovan area. A general problem in the area seems to be over-construction in the area now, so this property is also suffering from that. The staff and food is exceptional. We stayed here primarily because of the on-property restaurant - Pure Soul Organic Cafe - by far the best food in Rishikesh, if you are vegan or looking for world cuisine.

For the sake of the environment, the hotel should stop providing small plastic bottles of water for supplying drinking water in rooms, and move to flask/jug of water. Maybe some people need bottles for hygiene reasons - they should be supplied on demand. We had to struggle a bit to get water jug in the room - clearly this is not a priority yet for the hotel.
