The MVT Rishikesh is a beautiful little oasis of gardens and spacious rooms in the heart of town but uphill from the road noise below. The Staff are extremey courteous, helpful and very willing to provide anything needed, and are happy to come with room service food at any time of the day and anything else. In particular, Mohid at reception took me personally back into town to recuperate a shopping bag I had left. The gardener
Pankaj and the team are so polite and friendly and genuine. All this, depsite an extremely rude and agressive Canadian couple that kicked off from the moment they arrived, upset the whole staff as well as other guests, and thankfully left after two noisy days, people like that have no business in India let alone in a Krishna run hotel!

First of all they put us next to the maintenance room where noise began from early in the morning and went all day. Workers walking over you while trying to enjoy the “garden view” we paid for on our “deluxe” room. After hours of my husband arguing that they move us to a different room, we finally move. Keep in mind, I have an acute chest infection of which the hotel knows. This is why I so desperately need rest. Less than 24 hours later, they move a whole family into the room above us with 5 children. Yelling, running up and down every 2 minutes, with constant door slamming to match.

Aside from that, each “clean room” I have had to have them re-clean because of hair all over the floors and in the beds. And then, I had to tell the cleaning guy to take his shoes off because he’s mopping our room in dirty shoes.

This place is poorly managed and does NOT represent anything ISCKON. It is nothing more than a money making scheme. We will NEVER stay here again.
