What People are saying
right on the most sacred stretch of the Ganges

Let me clarify the 5 star rating for this property given that it is not more than a 3 star hotel. The hotel is the most comfortable and modern hotel in the vicinity of the most sacred part of the Ganges- just about two hundred metres away from where the Ganga aarti is held twice a day. There are no Oberoi's and Taj hotels in this area. The most compelling reason why you should choose this hotel is the service- excellent and warm staff who go out of their way to attend to the needs of the guests. In this respect we can single out the restaurant staff who generously catered for our palettes-i.e. we could not handle the spiciness of the foods served in this part of the world- but do take note though that this facility and every other facility in the proximity of the sacred part of Haridwar are strictly vegetarian with absolutely no chance of getting non-vegetarian foods here. The hotel offers bhajan and kirtan recitals as well as solo and soothing music performances twice daily. One gets a rosary and a welcome drink on arrival. The hotel is right against the colourful market of Haridwar and one is tempted to spend more time there than is necessary. Access to the hotel is either through the crowded alleyways of Haridwar or across the bridge. Our taxi driver did not know how to access the hotel and left us in the town of Haridwar. Out of town guests should get proper directions on how to access this hotel, although I cannot fathom to this day how a taxi driver from Dehradun could not take us to Har ki Pauri- the part of Haridwar where the hotel is located. The room we occupied was located right next to the restaurant on the second floor- it was not the room initially allotted to us- but it had a desk and the first one did not. The room is large and comfortable, well decorated and furnished. The bathroom was stocked with the basic cosmetics and vanities usually provided in Indian hotels. The hotel has a rooftop space which provides a birds eye view of the Ganges River and the surrounding areas. In summary then- close proximity to Har ki Pauri, close proximity to all that matters in Haridwar to make ones pilgrimage or visit comfortable and memorable, superb service from the staff and a most conducive and amiable environment that blends in with the spiritual atmosphere of this area.
Excellent

Ganga Lahari and Haridwar were the best part of my first trip to India. The staff and management are very friendly. Felt like home at Ganga Lahari - didn't want to leave. Pankaj ji and Ekta ji made our stay very memorable. The rooms are fairly spacious and the food was excellent. The view was breathtaking. We were there for 3 nights only - but will stay longer next time.
What a great place to stay! The Staff is wonderful!

I had a great time at the Ganga Lahari Hotel. It is such a wonderful hotel. The room was comfortable and clean. The view to the lake is marvelous! There is a daily program with different activities and you can join for free. Every night there is live music. It is just incredible! The restaurant in this hotel is excellent, with delicious food and with the very best Staff ever. It was a memorable time and I totally recommend it. I definitely go back to this hotel!
Home away from home

From last three years we are visiting haridwar for sake of mental peace and positive energy; We found Ganga Lahari first on tripadvisor and always stay there for many reasons -
* Nice view of Ganga, away from crowd on brahma ghat still close so we can walk there every day.. We sit in balcony for hours for good sunlight and watch Ganga and find peace internally
* I personally love being on terrace, they use it for yoga sessions too.
* Just at the beginning of lovely market to buy memoirs from.
* Near Deen Dayal Parking so convenient in all ways
* Good hospitality - staff is polite and helpful especially when one of us fell ill. They called doctor, prepared khichdi or apple juice when asked.. No complaints from either side. We have now form cordial relationships with many of them.
Dream Property with exceptional staff. Should be your 1st choice in Haridwar if you want to experiece Ganges to full
