Stayed here fir two nights for a business conference. Not overly impressed by the property. Firstly you don't stay in a heritage building but in a concrete building some distance from the heritage building. The rooms are large and spacious with a nice balcony. The amenities in the room are good. The shower is powerful. The view over the garden... More

Its a great spa resort, the spa is indeed good. The architecture is classic, especially the main building. For the ones who such old world charm, quite a bit is there to absorb. Food was good, the staff are attentive. It takes a bit of walking around, but no one will complain. Lots of playing area for children, little entertainment... More

Ananda in the Himalayas is in the hills above Rishikesh where the temperature stays in the comfortable 15- 25 year round! Winters are never too cold and the summers -well you are in the hills. The resort has just won the TripAdvisor award in 2012 and recently once again the 'Best Spa' award. Try some of the world class treatments... More

I ideally would rate my visit here as 3.5 out of 5 but with all the reviews the expectation was far more and it was a definite let down, it is a good place but definitely not fantastic nor great, it is just good. Not just internationally but in India I have been to better places that are far more... More
