I visited the Glasshouse in May 2012 with 3 of my female friends. We stayed in the rooms Kaveri and Godavari. The rooms were large and gorgeous with huge bathrooms - we also had a fabulous view of the Ganga from our porch. We spent our evenings sitting by the river with our feet in the water. Was an amazing... More

Right next to the Ganga in tranquil surroundings, the only noise you can hear is of the ganga flowing and the birds chirping. The hotel was under renovation however one can smell the indian elegance as well as the freshness of the orchard and the flowers. The staff etiquette is functional so demanding more from them would be necessary. The... More

Stayed here for a week in March. The staff was fantastic and helpful. Laundry service and room service was wonderful. I really enjoyed my stay. Keep in mind the hotel is rural India but clean, relaxing and was an overall awesome experience. Loved it! More

We spent two nights in Rishikesh and were sooo looking forward to this hotel. We had received amazing reviews of it from others and kind of felt this would be a place in heaven. It is, but it certainly wasn't the hotel! I think the proximity of the holy river gets many Indians a bit excited about it (see pics),... More

This has been one of my best holidays ever. The property is well located, extremely clean and the staff very warm and accomodating. The sound of the river and view of the river in a moonlit night is something very difficult to find in the commercialised holidays. I would definitely want to come back here with a larger group!

The houses are anything but glass! The rooms are small but comfortable, the bed was too small to fit in a 6feet 1inch tall. The bathroom is basic. Over all look and feel of a room is not worth the money you pay. But there are positive points: The Location sells, the warmth is welcoming, the cleanliness is remarkable, the... More

While driving down from Delhi the first thing that strikes you is the long road to Rishikesh. Once I crossed Haridwar, the condition of the road was pathetic to say the least. But once I parked at the property and checked into the tent that we had booked, all the driving to this hotel seemed worth. Bright sunshine and the... More

I've stayed at Glasshouse on 2 occasions...for the first time in 1998, which I have to say on first impression at that time was pure magic (musty rooms or not!). To start with, the location is unbeatable. It is on the holy Ganga (Ganges River) and it is something very special how this historic river at this point, flows from... More

We are based in Boston and stayed in this property while on a trip to the Himalayas. The location of the hotel is very good but the rooms are awful. They have an unclean look and smell musty. To make matters worse, we had mice in our room which had eaten through the couch. When we called management, they sent... More
