Abhay and his brother are wonderful hosts. I had an amazing stay at this hostel in Rishikesh! The atmosphere is exactly what a traveler hopes for—warm, welcoming, and full of good vibes. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt comfortable, whether it was helping with travel tips, arranging activities, or just chatting over chai. The place is new, rooms were clean, cozy, and well-maintained, and the common areas were perfect for relaxing or meeting new people. I especially loved the rooftop—it had a beautiful view of the mountains. Highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Rishikesh!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

I recently stayed at Madpacker 2.0 and had a fantastic experience. The hostel was clean, comfortable, and had a friendly atmosphere. The staff were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the local area. I especially enjoyed the small get-togethers they arranged every noon and night, which made it easy to meet fellow travelers. Overall, Madpacker offers excellent value for money and a welcoming environment. Highly recommended for budget-conscious travelers!

Excellent hostel(House of gypsy) with friendly staff, clean rooms, and a quiet atmosphere. very affordable prices for excellent facilities. Highly recommended for budget travellers seeking a comfortable stay. the food was good with a variety of options. the river was a walkable distance from the establishment. the staff helped with additional arrangements for travelling and places to visit. rooms were private, quiet and safe. I would recommend it to even working professionals who want a quiet getaway and work in peace.
