    Great place to stay, be prepared for lots of steps, that’s why it’s called hill top. Great restaurants nearby.

    It is a bit old and the bedding could do with a change.

    The location is quiet and located well. Rooms service was adequate and fast. Warm water was available en the view of the Ganga are superb!

    Quite a walk up to the top from town. The very bazaar welcome of people screaming was quite disturbing. I recommend checking before booking in regards to private retreats being held up stairs that are loud with disturbing screams. Also if a retreat is operating rooftop yoga is not available.

    Spacious room with comfortable facilities. Quiet location away from town traffic. Friendly staff

    The inner hotel is spatious, with nice, elegant decoration. The room is large, with a private balcony. Friendly staff. The nearby restaurant Nirvana, recommended by the staff, makes tasty food and is again quite elegant without being posh. As this hotel is about 15 minutes by foot from the center of Tapovan, you enjoy quiet nights.

    it is a bit of an uphill walk, but then you get the best view from the room with a small terrace, excellent to enjoy the nature and the area.

    It is steep to get there and you can only reach by foot. No help given with the luggage by a staff that is not super friendly. The yoga hall as well as some bedrooms are difficult to reach through many staircases and steep paths. There is no restaurant in the hotel, not even breakfast. Lots of monkeys came on my balcony (it did not bother me but it might to some people).

    The hotel is away from the street noise. The rooms are spacious and clean. The beds are comfortable. There are good restaurants, yoga centres and spas within a few minutes walk of the hotel so one can actually spend a few days just staying there and not have to go anywhere. Not very far from the streets, Ganga riverbanks etc.

    Nice room, friendly staff but a bit too far away for me.

    I found the location was a bit too far and there was too much walking back to the hotel in the dark as a solo female. It didn't have a restaurant as such, but you could order food to be delivered to your room. I would have preferred a dine in option as this could be somewhere to meet other guests.

    The room was big, had great views and its own balcony. Staff were friendly and helpful. Was nice to be away from the hustle and bustle and the room was pretty quiet.

    Instead of a double bed, we had two twin beds pushed together. We managed, but it wasn't the most comfortable. Also, the shower was a little wonky and the tub looked very old, and not worth trying out. They did offer room service, but the Western food wasn't that good.

    The location was good- close enough to Tapovan and the restaurants and shopping, but far enough away that the traffic wasn't too crazy. The view from our room was fantastic, as well. The internet was fast enough for video calls and meetings.
