Aloha on the Ganges by Leisure Hotels

On My mom's 80th birthday, we decided that the family required blessings of the river Ganges as was her wish. So there's no better place than Rishikesh for a great getaway. Aloha on the Ganges is a property which had some great reviews and so we decided to visit this resort. On arrival, we were checked in quickly and we were tucked into the Superior rooms. The view from there was great and the lush green lawn was a sight for sore eyes. After resting for sometime, we all headed fir the restaurant and had a great meal. The variety and service were really complimenting each other and the smiling, helpful staff really made it seems like a home affair. We then decided to go for a walk down to the beach. We took the car as mom didn't want to hike up the road, though it's a short walk. The beach was silver and the Ganges cool and welcoming. Though it is not advisable to go into the river unless you are with the staff to evaluate the current. After taking some nice family snaps we headed back to the hotel and rested until dinner and played some Dumb Charade of Hindi movies and had some exciting actions and laughs. Next morning breakfast spread was very good again. The masala and cheese omlette were my favourite. You had Indian and continental spread too. The cold coffee was to die for. It was perfectly blended with a really smooth taste and frothy looks. All of us helped ourselves to it. After breakfast, we headed to the Rishikesh market and the temples there. The place was pretty clean compared with the Haridwar areas. After spending some time with our duties, we headed towards the Chaurasia Kutia Ashram, well known as the Beatles Ashram. It was great to see the architecture and the place laid out. It is a bit up and down and seniors should take it easy. Afterwards, we went back to the resort and sat around the lawn in the cool breeze and saw the stars as the night sky was clear. Aloha is beckoning you. It is a cosy place with a strong family culture of giving great holidays to the families coming there.

One of the finest stay i have ever had. Awesome surrounding and well maintained property gave us a luxurious feel all around. Staff was very well mannered and food was just amazing. We got a warm welcome as we entered into the property. Would love to stay once again ☺️

1. Can never be a 5* hotel, star rating is manipulated. 2. Unnecessarily over priced, not at all value for money. 3. Not well behaved and not well trained staff. 4. For everything their reply starts with no. 5. Anything is needed, we had to tell 4/5 times then only they had done. 6. Tv not working, fridge not working, weighing machine nit there. 7. Very very limited choice of set menu. No ala carte. You have to eat in their way or you stay starved. 8. Far from main road, and connected with an unhygienic, and dusty broken muddy road. 9. Going to hotel from main road and coming back is a herculean task. 10. Proper staff training, attitude, and management philosophy towards quality hospitality is to be changed. Its true that the location is good, building is good. But with out proper people, proper policy and proper mangement, this buildings makes no sense. You guys need to improve a lot

Not worth staying. Fail to understand How the star rating is done for this property. Old and outdated noisy AC, damaged door stoppers, poor service and room amenities. Not at all value for money spent.

The stay was very good ***** with the property. It has a great view of the river ganga. The staff was also very polite and helpful. Would definitely recommend this property best in rishikesh

Great ambience, awesome food, polite staff, perfect location. Best in every aspect, added on to this was the divine ganga aarti
