Impeccable service, best location in Rishikesh”
This was my second stay in Rishikesh and at Hill Top. I am convinced it is the best place to stay in Rishekesh. The hotel is located in the high bank precinct,a peaceful area to meet travellers from all walks of life. The area has a village like feel and both bridges (the two main attractions) are only a short stroll away. There are several good restaurants in the area as well as massage parlours, (much cheaper that closer to either bridge)general stores, a fantastic travel agency 'swiss travel tours' who have expert knowledge of the area and will happily assist and inspire you for many adventures! The hotel has its own yoga hall and twice daily classes with a highly skilled teacher. In my 5 week stay, i never had an issue with hot showers and the hotel has back-up electricity, which i was told was a rarity. Free, fast and reliable wifi yippie! The hotel rooms are fresh large and clean with a huge private balcony overlooking the mountains. There is also a rooftop (which i took full advantage of!) where you can have small gatherings, soak up the sun or read a book. By far the thing that stands out from my stay at hill top is the impeccable service and welcoming and friendly approach of the staff, particularly the owner. I could really see that he put his heart and soul into making sure guests were comfortable and enjoying their stay. He went above and beyond in accommodating guests requests. I made many friends at Hill Top, many of which extended their stay because they enjoyed it so much... only con is that it is hard to leave!

Up the ways to peace”
My stay at Hill top swiss cottage was great! I stayed in a spacious room that was filled with light in the morning. Even though thee bathroom had fake marble tile vinyl like wallpaper, it was clean not cramped. Just outside the rooms was a nice little lawn to relax on. It does require somewhat of a trek uphill back to tthe hotel at night but I didn't mind. For the less agile it might be kind of difficult especially if you are going down to town everyday (which you probably will be doing). Also tuk tuks don't like to go all the way up. It's rare that they do.

Excellent budget hotel in Rishikesh”
I didn't expect much for the inexpensive price tag, but Hill Top Swiss Cottage really surprised me! The room was clean enough, with an acceptably comfortable bed and a large bathroom. But the best part was that there was a bathtub and a balcony. The wifi is sketchy, but free, and there is an internet cafe nearby just in case. The bed does not come with a top sheet (only a scratchy blanket), but they gave me one when I asked. Staff is friendly and made sure we were comfortable. The little restaurant is very good and is the only place in the area where you can get a beer. very peaceful surroundings, but a walk to town is 10 or 15 minutes.

Two night stay”
Stayed a second night and moved from a standard room to a luxury room. Big upgrade and totally worth it! Luxury room had private balcony overlooking Himalayan foothills. Very quiet location and a nice yoga hall that staff unlocked for me to use. No food on site but good backpacker/traveller food nearby. I HIGHLY recommend staying up the hill at Hill Top or other Swiss Cottages rather than in town, it is a peaceful retreat away from the traffic and honking below.

i ate so much”
i think i gained 10 kilos at the Hill Top Swiss Cottage. everyday, i ate until i almost burst. most people are doing yoga in the area. i was doing stomach yoga... trying to breath and hold power to get one more piece of food in my belly. i cant describe how delicious the German Bakerys are.... or the restaurant too. do yourself a favor.. forget your diet here.. just come here and eat. you can see them walking from around the back of the hotel with large trays of freshly baked goods. it all taste so good. the hotel is a bit of a walk down to the ganges river, and the main part of town... but i guess you gotta burn off those calories some how. staff are nice a friendly too. good price for everything.

Quiet retreat in bustling rishikesh”
This place was just what I was looking for. Somewhere quiet a little away from the main area of town. It had nice views and the room I had was high up and pleasant. It was clean and there was plenty of hot water. The yoga was good in house and ran everyday at 8am and 5pm for 300rupee. The attached restaurant was also delicious and the cook obviously put good intention into the food he prepared. It was about 20 minute walk down to the Laxman Jhula bridge which was fine for me. Walking up to the Hill top cottage really was not hard. I would stay again

Very nice place with a great view”
We were happy to choose this hotel, it is a very good escape from a noisy city even in Rishikesh, you still cannot runaway from the noise polution of India. As the hotel is really located on the hill top (with many other little lovely hotels around), many of the rooms come with beautiful view of Rishikesh, overlooking the hill. The room we had was clean, comfortable with all the necessary and the price is reasonable. Restaurant at the hotel was pretty good too. We were happy at this place.

Great place with very good location and staff members”
The location is great and the rooms are very clean and tidy. The staff members were really helpful and friendly and they even settled up a TV and speakers so people could watch the world cup final. We loved it there and next time we are in Rishikesh we will come back to Top Hill. Thanks for everything!

Great place wonderful view”
Big room with a balcony. Peaceful hotel about 20 minutes up the hill from Lakshman Jhula the road is quite steep and busy but a Tuk tuk cost Rs 100. Very peaceful area away from the people and noise of Rishikesh. Delicious restaurant next door. Really nice staff and excellent value for money. There is yoga in their hall every day which I really enjoyed.

Good Place to stay”
we loved our stay here. A little out of the way but still convenient. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing, respectful interesting traveler's. The food is clean and safe. The prices are reasonable and made according to the people travelling for long. We sprang for the higher end room which was brand new and had a beautiful view from the porch. Sad to leave. definitely stay here whenever we are back in rishikesh.

A great place in Rishikesh”
This guesthouse is located a short walk from the yoga centers/ashrams in Rishikesh. I really liked that it was away from the loud streets. The walk up the hill from town was not that long or too exhausting. The view from rooms 402, 403, 502 and 503 is great: Ganges River and the mountain. I really enjoyed relaxing in my hammock looking at the view. I met a lot of other travelers in the restaurant which is one of the only places you'll find beer and meat in Rishikesh. My room was simple but clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. There are twice-daily yoga classes.

very nice, clean and spacious room, nice surroundings, although location is bit away from the hustle and bustle of Rishikesh, if you don't mind some walking up hill, you will love this place.

good service, nice views”
We had a nice few days staying in this hotel. Whilst a long initial uphill walk with our bags from the drop off to the hotel, we were greeted well by the reception staff. Room was clean and comfortable, and the balcony view of the hills and the ganges were most welcome. The hotel offers Yoga, meditation, sometimes live music and has a restaurant attached serving Indian and continental foods to a reasonable standard - just remember to order early if you're hungry, as service can sometimes take a while. Wifi worked well, and the staff could assist with travel enquiries or information about Rishikesh and tours to neighboring cities etc

Peaceful setting with good views”
Hilltop Swiss Cottage is one of many hotels catering to foreign budget travelers in a compact area. It's a bit of a hike down to the river. With children along, we found it easy to take an auto down to Ram Jhula. The hotel staff is helpful. Be prepared for occasional power outages. The hotel shares a common restaurant with two or three other small hotels. The food is standard fare catering to tourists, but we met interesting people from different parts of the world each time we ate there.

Good and helpful staff and management”
This hotel is on top of the hill as you could guess from the name and even though we had a car we managed to drive all the way under the hotel, highly recommended place to stay.

Peaceful and Restful ”
We loved our rooms and the location away from the noise of the streets of Laxman Jula and Rishikesh. The staff was very accommodating and took care of all our needs. We loved the quietness and the option of multiple restaurants nearby. Thank you!

Good and quiet place”
It's really quite up here, good exercise too as you need to walk up the hill a bit, but not too bad, staff is helpful and in off season you can deal yourself a good price if you stay longer!
