Dewa Retreat

I visited Dewa Retreat with 4 other friends for a 1 night stay.The check in/check out/reception was exemplary.The breakfast was sumptuous and delicious.The restaurant manager personally ensured that we were well fed-bringing second helpings to our table(although we could have self served).Ben the general manager was a very affable person and kindly allowed us a late check out so that we could change our wet clothing after a river rafting expedition.The view of the mountains from our room balcony was serene and beautiful.The full moon that night made it look all the more romantic.I would definitely recommend Dewa Retreat for friends and couples.Hope to be back again.

Hari om to everyone.... I was always looking for a place like the Dewa Retreat and when I found this place it was like a dream come true!! First of all the location is truly good (It's a cozy corner) away from all the hustle bustle of the modern town or the cities, next comes the amenities, believe me it's got everything you want under one roof:: Great rooms, spa, swimming pool,two speciality restaurants and last but truly not the least a staff which is going to pamper you till the brim!!! So, I think everyone should give this place a sure try.....

Dewa Retreat was absolutely wonderful hotel. Everything from the hotel rooms to the breakfast and the staff was great! The hotel also took good care of our driver. The breakfast was a delicious spread. The showers were so warm. The views was in the foothills and a gorgeous sunrise. The hotel manager was very hospitable. An incredible stay for a brief visit to Rishikesh and Hardiwar.

This is a perfect place for travelers to Rishikesh. Very comfortable clean room (even though it was cold outside, we were provided with the heater, so it was warm and nice), perfect breakfast, amazing complimentary yoga classes in the morning. Location is good also

Everything is possible - the team of Dewa Retreat is so helpful und will make your stay so enjoyable - everybody is kind and attentive, rooms all well kept and clean and they are more than happy to arrange different kind of activities like rafting, hiking or sightseeing and of course Ayurveda or spiritual treatment. Every morning you are invited to join a yoga class - perfect location to explore the beauty and relax!

We checked in early as we travelled overnight to India and to our surprise and delight, early check in was not a problem at all. The room was ready, clean, had plenty of natural light and spacious. The satvic restaurant offered delicious and wholesome breakfast and catered to my husbands vegan diet. Staff were attentive and helpful. There is a beautiful pool which we did not get to use. We also enjoyed the massages at the spa and again, lovely service from the staff. The hotel offers morning yoga classes to guests, which we enjoyed. Ben Singh, the hotel owner was personable and took time out to speak to guests. He also arranged a packed breakfast for us on our last morning as we had to leave early. Next door is the Pure Soul Cafe which also deserves a mention as the food was excellent. The location is also great, walking distance to the Laxman Jhula and the Beatles cafe. Thanks to all at the Dewa retreat for such a warm welcome to Rishikesh and India.

We stayed at Dewa in December 2019 after having stayed few nights in a cold, non heated , local yoga school. Moving to Dewa was the best desicion made during this trip. Hotel has gorgeous views, comfortable rooms, amazing food. People who work there are extremely polite and nice and make you feel welcome right away. Mr. Ben - hotel manager made sure our stay was comfortable. He quickly understood our needs and arranged for our ayurveda treatements + yoga lessons and personalized meals. All that was at a very affordable price. The only regret is to not have had more time to stay and enjoy this amazing place. I strongly recommend to stay and enjoy the spa treatments at Dewa. The ladies who work at the spa are amazing. I am sure, I will be back here the next time I visit Rishikesh.

I've been visiting Rishikesh for several years now and came across Dewa Retreat on my first visit because of the delicious cafe that is owned by the hotel, Pure Soul Cafe (I highly recommend this cafe as well). I would eat there several times a week and I loved the friendly staff and the delicious food. So when I was booking my trip to Rishikesh again this year, I decided to stay at Dewa Retreat. I was not disappointed. First, the staff are extremely helpful, kind and the service is 1st class. The rooms are clean and the view is amazing (I had a mountain view room). My bed was comfortable and I had all the amenities I needed. And if I ever needed anything else the staff was extremely helpful. The complimentary breakfast in the morning was always delicious and filled with a variety of foods that anyone would enjoy. Room service was also delicious. The area is quiet but also very close to everything you need while staying in Rishikesh. I walked to almost every place I had to go unless I needed to get to Ram Jhula or the Rishikesh market, then I took my scooter for a short ride. Lastly, I wanted to mention the manager of the hotel, Ben Singh Chauhan. I've traveled around the world and stayed in many places. Very rarely do I see and talk with the manager as much as I did at Dewa Retreat. He sat and talked with me during my stay and always checked to make sure I had everything I needed. I would see him on the grounds several times a day speaking, sitting and connecting with many of the people staying at the hotel and even the ones just eating at Pure Soul Cafe. It was easy to see that he genuinely cared about their stay and wanted to make sure they were happy. His exact quote to me was, "I want people to enjoy their stay here. If they leave here and have an issue I won't know unless they write a bad review and that only helps us to fix the problem for the next person staying here. If there is an issue I want to fix it for the person while they are still with us so they are happy and enjoy their time with us. And the only way I can do that is if I talk with everyone and make sure they have everything they need before they leave." I don't see that much in my travels and I think it shows the level of treatment people receive when staying here. Because I had such a wonderful time my first week staying at Dewa Retreat that I decided to extend my stay and he was very helpful and made sure that I was able to get a very good price (the first week of my stay I had booked online with a big discount and he made sure the remaining two weeks of my stay was very comparable in price). I was grateful to him for that as he didn't have to do that. Overall I had a wonderful stay at Dewa Retreat and I highly recommend it for anyone considering staying in Rishikesh... and definitely get the mountain view room, it's worth it!

Staff and food excellent and I would recommend eating here. Ben Singh Chauhan the general manager was very proud of his hotel and very keen to help in any way. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast outside near the pool was a daily highlight.

Our stay recently at this property was excellent . Rooms and well maintained. Sleep quality very good . Food is awesome . This is a vegetarian hotel .Staff is very friendly . There is a global cafe which serves any global dish (vegetarian)

The Dewa Retreat was a most wonderful place to stay, a true sanctuary. It is built based on Vastu Shastra, the ancient Vedic teachings on the principles for creating a sacred space. I could feel the energy immediately. The retreat is very clean and attractive, the rooms are large and the bed was very comfortable. My room overlooked the foothills of the Himalayas and felt very peaceful and serene. The beautiful touch of the chakra painted above the bed was much appreciated, I could feel the positive energy filling the space. These are the thoughtful touches that make this place so special. The staff are absolutely amazing, kind, helpful and very efficient. I plan to return again and look forward to coming back to a place that is like a home away from home. Thank you so much for creating this special place.

I loved staying at the Dewa retreat centre. It’s not over the top luxurious but it was super comfortable, quiet and the people there couldn’t have been kinder or more helpful. Food is incredible in both restaurants. Breakfasts in the hotel restaurant were out of this world. I couldn’t stop eating - especially the banana pancakes OMG so good. The spa is convenient and have lots of great options for Ayurvedic treatments. The rooms are really nice. Bed was super comfy. View beautiful. They also have hair dryers and refrigerators which many places don’t I have discovered, as well as a safe for your valuables. Housekeeping was always done well and quickly. They supply water and I liked their shampoo etc. Power goes on and off a fair bit and internet can be very spotty- but to be fair, I think that is Rishikesh. I was on a retreat and the Yoga room was beautiful- large, very clean and bright in the morning, beautiful ambience at night. Also this place is super convenient to everywhere. A few minutes walk to the Ganga and the bridge. We walked to the waterfall from there. It’s also very quiet which can’t be said for many other locations. I loved the friendly staff. They were amazing at remembering who I was and my room number - no small feat when you think how many people they see through there all the time.

Could say that the place is really good, rooms are really comfortable, the massages offered at the spa are great, and it includes breakfast! The staff is really nice too, they are very helpful all the time. Place is quiet but close to the market area.

Dewa retreat was a very relaxing experience and everyone made sure we wanted for nothing. The view outside was beautiful and pool was refreshing on a hot day. The food was delicious especially the lemon coriander soup and banana pancakes! They made a special effort to bring us coffee every morning too.

I just spent 10-nights at Dewa Retreat on a yoga retreat which was held at Dewa. I am blown away by how friendly and accommodating the staff are in the hotel and the restaurant. They truly go above and beyond. I am also very pleased with the quality of their beds and bedding. I highly recommend Dewa as a guest and if you are looking for a place to host your yoga retreat.

I’ve been coming to Dewa for the last 4 years and every time is amazing. The staff always remember me and treat me with so much respect, they go above and beyond to make you comfortable and to have a great experience of their home. The rooms are very clean and the bed is the most comfortable I have had through India and probably mine at home. These are reasons I return time and time again. Also the food options and quality are delicious! This is a must stay in hotel!!!

I can't say enough good things about this hotel. The staff are very friendly and they go above and beyond to make sure your stay is excellent. The food in both restaurants is fantastic and the hotel is very nice. Great location.

I highly recommend staying at Dewa. The rooms are nice with beautiful view of the Himalayas, the pool is perfect and their organic cafe out of this world. I often travel to Rishikesh and for me is the best choice. Mrs Puja at the Ananta Spa is wonderful and all the staff helpful and friendly!

My stay at Dewa Retreat was truly an amazing experience. The staff were awesome specially Dev . I was absolutely thrilled to laxman jula and food was so amazing. We stay there for four nights all together the food was vegetarian / vegan but utterly delicious We were a large group and the service was very courteous and fast .

I recently visited India and part of my tour was in Rishikesh. Our tour had us lodging at the Dewa Retreat. I decided to stay on at the Dewa after my tour moved on. The staff of this hotel were beyond kind,courteous and helpful. I felt reassured and safe during my entire solo stay with them. The rooms are spacious and clean. Great showers and clean bathrooms. Each room has coffee makers and a mini fridge. They provide Bottled water daily. My room had a wrap around balcony with a view of the Himalayan mountains. The rooms comes with breakfast and breakfast is to die for. There is free yoga offered daily at the hotel and well as a spa with all sorts of Ayurveda treatments and massages. The grounds have a beautiful pool and the hotel also owns a restaurant called Pure soul which offers home made organic dishes western style as well as a number of choice vegan and vegetarian dishes. They serve coffees, smoothies and a variety of desserts. The Dewa is located in a very safe part of Rishikesh and it is in walking distance to the entire shopping district. They have their own private driver and their own cars. The Dewa staff helped me to arrange my flights out of Rishikesh to Delhi as well as numerous day trips outside of the city. I felt as if someone was holding my hand for my entire time in Rishikesh. I highly recommend a stay at the Dewa Retreat.

I was at the Dewa Retreat Hotel for 10 nights. It was a great experience. The staff were generous, kind and helpful. The room and the bathroom is very good. The location is great not in the noisy and crowded area. The restaurant next to the hotel “ Soul cafe” is excellent. I highly recommend to stay in this hotel.

Rooms are very clean and beautiful with a very caring staff. This hotel is very near to laxman jhoola. All adventure activities life rafting , bungee jumping can be booked by hotel itself . Guys on front desk are very helpful with decent nature. Food at pure soul cafe is very tasty. Best hotel to stay with family in rishikesh .

I stayed at Dewa Retreat for 6 nights. The hotel is situated within an easy walk to shops and restaurants. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were cleaned efficiently, with clean towels and amenities daily along with bottles of water. If you are looking for a clean, friendly hotel with good wifi and reliable hot water I can recommend Dewa Retreat in Rishikesh.

Had an amazing time with Yoga retreat in Rishikesh staying in this beautiful hotel. Staff is super helpful and felt the hospitality from the first day. Breakfast pretty good, rooms with the mountain view is just amazing! Enjoyed the morning classes on the rooftop. And was happy with an upgrade to suit room after a tour to Gangotri. That was very kind of the staff that also did arrange a complementary birthday cake for my husband. Absolutely recommend!

Don't get me wrong - exploring Rishikesh is a treat, but with the heat and humidity of the monsoon, Dewa Retreat and our clean, cool, air-conditioned room was indeed a retreat during our relatively short stay of two nights. We enjoyed our stay very much. "Pure Soul" - organic café and restaurant became a favorite. Service was excellent.
