Urban Loft in Rishikesh is honestly one of the most memorable hostels I’ve ever stayed at. The moment you walk in, you feel this warm, creative, easygoing energy that makes you settle in instantly. The environment is vibrant yet peaceful—perfect for travelers who want a mix of comfort, community, and inspiration. The location couldn’t be better. Tucked just far enough away to be quiet at night but close enough to the main spots, cafés, and the Ganga, it gives you the best of both worlds. Morning walks feel magical here. The people are what truly make Urban Loft special. Every traveler you meet brings a story, and it’s so easy to make genuine connections. There’s this natural sense of belonging that develops without any effort. The management team deserves huge appreciation. They’re friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in making your stay smooth and enjoyable. You can tell they care about the place and everyone who walks through the door. A special mention to Kami, who was honestly a highlight of our stay. She has this amazing artistic spirit—she showed us her artwork, shared stories, and brought a spark of creativity into the space that made the whole experience even richer. Her presence adds a unique charm to Urban Loft, and anyone who meets her will understand what I mean. If you want to know even more about the hostel, feel free to check out my YouTube channel: Gurmeet Haryana, where I’ve shared a full vlog of the place. You can also find more updates and photos on my Instagram: gurmeet_haryana. Overall, Urban Loft isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place to feel inspired, connected, and at home. Highly recommended, and I’d love to come back again! ✨🏔️

I really enjoyed my stay here! The private room was clean and cozy, and the location in Tapovan was convenient — close to everything. The staff were friendly and the food was simple but very tasty. I especially loved the tree house-style lounge area — a great place to relax. I even came back for a second stay, which says a lot. A lovely place

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.
