Shalom Backpackers Rishikesh

Issues encountered: 1) no in room heating. No heater offered. Freezing night conditions. In the morning I found out that they offer a heater for 500 rupees per day.  2) v saving energy focus. The tank barely provided sufficient hot water for one shower.  3) WiFi issues 4) tv did not work because of the WiFi issues  5) inadequate drainage in bathroom 6) advertised hostel number and WhatsApp does not appear to be monitored 7) the property is high up located in upper Daramkot which is about 30min walk into the centre. Going uphill on the way back can take longer. Taxi mafia means you end up spending a fortune on taxis.

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.

Undoubtedly, Shalom backpacker's has the best hospitality anyone could ask for at such budget stay. The stays are very comfortable, has a great environment, very welcoming and friendly. Special kudos, to Gaurav who has been the best host till date. Very helpful and a generous soul. He goes out of the way to provide comfort to every backpackers.

But *** loved the overall vibe and food of shalom and this is heartfelt not AI generate!! All love to Shalom and it’s team!! ❤️❤️ thank you Gaurav bhai!

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.
