I stayed at Lucky Hotel for nearly 7 weeks while I visited lovely Rishikesh, Sept - Nov. 2017. First, Nikhil is truly the best hotel manager. He was always available to answer questions and to take care of my room cleaning/linens requests. He is polite, gives good information on what to do locally, he is respectful and gracious. Thank you Nikhil!||I stayed in the river-front double room with A/C, room #108. The room was simple and clean but with all that you need. The shower had plenty of hot water. The room also had great views of the Ganges River and two sets of windows that you can swing open to let in fresh air. The bed was comfortable enough. Not super cushy, but let's just say I had no problem getting a good nights sleep! There is a small balcony outside that is available to all guests. It was a nice place to sit. It was the perfect place to stay for my first time in India. It felt luxurious to me, but it was a very reasonable cost, I think the equivalent of $12-$14 a night. Also, I felt very safe there. The hotel is up on the second level, above Lucky Restaurant. Nikhil was at the front desk all day/evening and then locks the door downstairs around midnight. While I was there he even installed a doorbell downstairs, in case guests arrived after he went to bed. Like I said, super...
Read moreThe Lucky Cafe is one of the finest places to eat out some great meals. Recently built by the same owner below the restaurant, this cafe is located along the Ganges where you can enjoy your meals with the view of holy River.
Food: The food tastes awesome and lovely. A lot of different varieties is available ranging from Continental to Indian cuisine. International dishes are also available because many foreigner visit in Rishikesh. Do try their burgers as they are the best here. Cafe: The cafe is well maintained with ample space for sitting and with great lighting. Overall, a nice and cozy place to eat and relax. Also, you get bed cushions if you want to just relax and chill. Staff: The staff is very generous and humble. Everyone tries there level best to help their customers.
The order will take some time (around 20-25 minutes) because they prepare everything fresh. From dough of tikki to veggies, everything is made according to the order. That's why the food tastes marvellous. So it's worth your patience.
I definitely recommend this place to all my fellow travelers coming to Rishikesh as this cafe is one of the best...
Read moreThis place was where we parked ourselves for a month whilst we lazed about adjusting to being in India again and we initially only intended to stay for a night or two but once we had walked around and asked about a fair few rooms elsewhere we realised what excellent value we were getting at Lucky Hotel.||Not only that but we also had been gifted the greatest manager available. Nikhil excelled as a resource and made us feel like his very own guests. He was patient and helpful in assisting us with our attempts to speak Hindi, and whenever we asked anything of him he would do what he could to assist, even if it meant calling friends to seek answers to our enquiries.||The rooms are very simple and the wifi is mediocre, but they are clean and can be requested to be cleaned any time.||Plus with the excellent view we had from our room we had no complaints.||The price for the room was great value, though don't expect any discount unless you intend to stay for at least a few weeks, which is seemingly standard...
