Vibrant and forever echoing the chant of a thousand prayers, Haridwar is an arresting blend of Indian culture and spiritual beliefs. The Haveli Hari Ganga is a resort situated on the banks of the Holy Ganga, a mere 500 meters walk through the bazaar at the sacred Har ki Pauri. Designated recently as a heritage property by the Government of India, the interiors of the Haveli are reminiscent of ancient Indian architecture where there are balanced tones of tranquility & comfort.
Star ratings are intended to indicate the general level of features, amenities, and services to expect. This property is classified according to Giata.

Getting there
Somewhat walkable
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
The entire stay was extremely comfortable and memorable. The service staff were well behaved and helpful. The evening high tea fare is quite elaborate and not even seen in 5-star properties. Its location (near ‘Har ki Pauri’), overlooking the river, is one of its highlights, with exclusive evening arati and private pujas were very comforting. The entire ambiance was quite neat and pleasing. I would like to mention the friendly and cooperative attitude of staff members: Aarti , Sachin (FO), Sonu (HK), Sunil (F&B), Pankaj(Security), specially Aarti, who was the most patient and helpful. Finally, I would however urge the Management to review the tariff structure, as it is seemingly on a high side, keeping in view the facility and furnishings in your property. Keep up the good work.

We stayed for two days at this place. This is an old haveli converted to a hotel. The most amazing thing about this place are the open terraces where you can sit and see the Ganga flowing underneath. The staff is also helpful and nice.
Also, the hotel has a host of engagement activities like live music and bhajan in the morning and evening, their own private aarti in the evening, a palmist etc. to keep you engaged. The complimentary tea and snacks in the evening is a nice touch.
A couple of things that bothered me a bit -
The room is completely closed - there are no windows and the room light was also relatively dim. I found it a bit claustrophobic but this could be a personal preference.
The food is not great but again this could be a matter of personal choice.
The hotel is not accessible by car - the lanes are way too narrow for a car. You have to park your car at a parking point and the hotel will send a rickshaw to take you to the hotel. The parking costs around INR 200/day and the hotel expects you to pay this. To be fair to them, when I challenged this, initially they did not agree but finally agreed to pay it at their end.

Absolutely amazing place to stay! 1. I will start with the appearance of the place. The rickshaw goes through small colorful lanes of market and that itself is one of most amazing experience. 2. The staff at the hotel is very pleasant. They all are pleasantly dressed up, very decent and classy clothes are being given even to the restaurant staff and others. They all have a very truthful, warm and welcoming smile on their faces. They all are genuinely concerned about the guest’s requirements 3. About the property – The property actually gives you positive vibes the moment you enter. It’s a beautifully done up haveli kind of a structure. The open spaces from where you get connected with the Ganga are worth sitting for hours together…calm and serene! The room décor is also classy and subtle. 4. The Food! – I don’t have words to describe the food they offered. I am an established home chef and people love my food. I exactly know why they appreciate my food. It’s simple…. It’s always freshly made using pure and high grade ingredients. The same applies to this place. It’s pure, it’s fresh, it’s homely! The evening high tea menu was superb! 5. The character – The place has its own character! The Ganga aarti organized in the evening is simply mesmerizing. Just before the aarti the priests take a round through the property chanting some shloks and carrying dhoop with them. It’s like how we do it at home. The evening diya batti time! Then is the bhajan Sandhya program. Acharya ji, the singer and his shishya are too good! 6. The Fun factor – They have an astrologer who sits every evening. It’s fun to peep in our future! They also conduct some complementary cookery demos. I missed it though due to lack of time 7. The complementary Tonga ride is quite long and while it’s taking you through the lanes of the city you actually get a local feel of the place. “Badal” the horse was simply adorable! 8. The only flaw of the place I would say is the weak travel desk. They are a bit expensive and cannot give a genuine advice as to how to plan your itinerary, how to move around the city, what exactly happens at the big ganga aarti at the ghat(Very very commercial, don’t go if it’s not your priority. The aarti at the hotel is much more divine and satisfying) etc. All in all, It’s really like having a “Mayka time” for ladies for sure! All pampering and no responsibilities!

Our family both immediate and extended including children and teenagers, just completed our stay at this wonderful place! We all had such a lovely time thanks to the kind and warm staff, amazing location and delicious food! First and foremost, the people managing and working here truly help make you feel at home. A special thank you to Pankajji who managed our entire stay and made sure we were all very well taken care of. Thank you as well to Sonu and Mahavir who tended to ensuring our rooms and stay were very comfortable. The location is also perfect for anyone who would like to experience the Ganges River, with beautiful views, terraces and private ghat to soak in all the beauty of the river as well as hold your own haven while looking out at the sun shining over the powerful river. The private drivers who brought us through the inner streets with our luggage was also a very helpful and nice experience. We ate every meal at the hotel’s restaurant because the food was so delicious, we kept wanting more! Such an eclectic mix of dishes, fresh rotis, puris and even innovative recipes and some of the best soups I have ever had! Not to mention we must have had thirty cups of the piping hot masala chai! To top it all off, the hotel also coordinated numerous fun activities for all ages with elaborate traditional folk performances to palm and astrological readings. We cannot say enough about how much we all enjoyed our stay! Many thanks to everyone at the Haveli Hari Ganga!

It was an amazing experience to start our chardham yatra at Haridwar. The stay at this particular Haridwar Haveli Hariganga felt the Indian hospitality at its BEST. Right from speaking to customer service about hotel reservation, the staff is very courteous, efficient, and responsive to guests needs. The location with a private ghat offers the guests beautiful views and if religious to perform the Ganga Aarti at the hotel ghat. You dont have to venture into the crowd if one doesnt feel comfortable.
The hotel arranges an Pandith ji that accompanies the guests for sightseeing and inform us about the process, gives us cautions with belongings and what to expect at the venue. It was a surreal experience with Ganga Aarti at the holy ghat and witnessing the enormous bells and diyas that lit up ganges river.
Food was Sumptuous, freshly cooked and served hot/warm. Chefs made super delicious breakfast, lunch and dinners, highly recommend opting in for eating food, especially if you are foreigner and not used to local indian cuisine.
Pictures on the website and room comfort are true to their claims. We took the ganga facing room with a view, enjoyed chai , pakodas on a rainy afternoon.
we would love to go back and stay here next time our travels bring us there.

This is a magical place in the centre of the hustle and bustle of Haridwar, arriving on one of the hotel's rickshaws to the peace and tranquillity of the hotel. The decor generally, the lovely courtyard, and above all the stunning terrace overlooking the Ganges provides a unique experience in itself. The staff are very helpful and the food varied and totally delicious, prepared by the chef, Hardev, who always came out to describe the dishes and to check that all was well. The only negative point was that our room, although very well appointed, lacked a window to provide natural light and air.

I stayed in room no 307 for one night.I had booked this property for three ( 2 adults and one child) on half board basis(one meal and breakfast) but unfortunately my wife and son couldn’t travel due to sickness. Following were the positives about the property and my stay: 1) Location,as it has its own private ghat. 2) Cleanliness. 3) Polite staff(Big shout out to Sunil at the restaurant and evening tea area for his service ) 4) Food specially the evening tea. 5) Evening arti and morning havan at the hotel ghat .
Areas where they can improve : 1) Considering the size of room , tv screen size was very small. 2) Furniture and carpet(see picture of carpet attached) were very old and needs to be changed. 3) As mentioned above two of my family members couldn’t come due to sickness,I requested Amit at the reception to add one meal in my package as I had paid for 6 meals (3 meals plus 3 breakfast) and I was asking to provide 2 meals and 1 breakfast out of it only. To my utter disappointment Amit at the reception refused to accede my request. Frankly it’s a small matter but I guess in hospitality industry these are the small things that matter and by doing that they were not incurring any additional cost.Perhaps Amit is new in this industry and he will learn with experience. I was very tired and decided not to escalate this matter. This was my first stay at this property and had far better hospitality experience at their sister property where I have stayed twice .

If visiting Haridwar this is the only place to stay. The location of the Haveli is perfect - right on the bank of the River Ganga. The views from the hotel are stunning and the additional extras that are included in your stay such as the morning haavan, the afternoon tea, the evening bhajan and the escorted ganga aarti are all activities that you just cherish as part of the experience. The Haveli even has a private ghat where you can bathe in the Ganga. The staff at the hotel are exceptional and nothing is too much effort, both - Mr Pankaj and Mr Sachin were very attentive and hospitable. The vegetarian thali for dinner was awesome, tasted like home cooked food, and the breakfast in the morning was yummy offering poori and dosa on special request.
We used the Haveli tour guide Mr Amit Bajaj, not only to explore Haridwar but also for Rishikesh. He is extremely knowledgeable and showed us around the main temples and sites of both Haridwar and Rishikesh - we managed to cover so much in two days and really enjoyed our time with him. He even took us to Har Ki Pauri where we witnessed the most amazing Ganga Aarti from almost a private viewing area.
If you are going to Haridwar I highly recommend staying at Havel Hari Ganga.

Stayed here from 4th to 6th December. Wonderful location, friendly and helpful staff, arrangement made to see the Ganga Aarthi, great food. No complaints at all. Having said the above, I have to make it clear that I was extremely unhappy with the guide that the hotel provided for visiting various places in Haridwar. The deal was for Ra.5000+GST+Rs.1000 transport+money for priority darshan which is not exactly chicken feed for a 5 hour tour. We are certainly no idiots...I know I can step outside the hotel and find a guide who can provide his services for less than half the price. I expected high degree of professionalism and wonderful experience for the money I was paying. However, after visiting a few places, the guide got busy on the phone and suddenly lost interest in us. For almost an hour he was making phone calls to arrange accommodation in some Hyatt hotel for a MP/MLA from Maharashtra who was visiting Uttarakhand. The conversation was about securing a better discount from Hyatt and the guide was going on and on about how Taj, Lalit etc promptly offer him better discounts. I put up with this incessant calls but when he took us to Keshav ashram and Maya Devi temple and let us fend for ourselves, I lost it. At both these places he kind of said go ahead and look around without explaining anything. Keshav ashram wasn't even in our plan for the day. There is literally nothing there but a huge banyan tree and some cottages. It appeared he just wanted to get rid of us for a while to attend to his calls. In fact in Maya Devi temple I had to ask him what is the significance of the temple and only then he briefly explained. When he continued the phone calls in Bilvakeshwar temple, I scolded him and told him I felt disrespected by his behavior and he can't take us for granted in this manner. He immediately apologised. The guide did his best to salvage the situation after that but my mood was spoilt from then on. The guide also tried to improve things by offering an unsolicited Rishikesh itinerary but none of that can make us forgive him. Long story short, the hotel needs to severely admonish this guide and make it a point to not allow such things affect the hotel's reputation. To the guide I have this to say...the money I am giving to you is hard-earned and has more good karma attached to it...far more than anything you will be getting from any MP/MLA. 😀 So, learn to respect your customers. 🙏

The Service is excellent. Though the property is old, it is well maintained as they said like Haveli. The private Ghat provided by the property makes it easier for having holy dip in Ganga. Location is good and is about 1 km to Har Ki Pauri. Battery vehicles are very much available for a charge of Rs.20 each. The is not directly reachable by taxi but the hotel has provided battery car service from the last point of entrance where there is exclusive parking for Haveli Har Ganga. They have provided free activities like astrology, Private priest assistance, escorted Harati and Harati at their private Ghat at 7 pm. I visited along with my family on 12.01.2023 and fully satisfied with location. Service. Private bathing Ghat and Ganga view. Thank you.

Mostly they have it in Shree Ganga G Facing Rooms
and in some rooms they may come up with Bed they can adjust but the size of the majority rooms are for Two Adult and One Child on the main Bed..but if U put an additional Bed then It will be conjusted but as per the aboce rooms U can check if they provide but as per my experience it is not adviseable..rest it is upto U guyz.
U can get ALL the service U have asked in Ur question here but U only need to negotiate the prices with them or any agent ..
My suggestion is take atleast Bed--Breakfast--Dinner Pack for 2
they have Lift--wi-fi--Modern Room with Haveli Touch--Travel Desk--Ayurvedic Massage Centre which is absolutely rejuvenating.
Absolutely recommended
"Parking is the only problem as car does not come till hotel.....car needs to be parked at a common parking and from there e rickshaws to be used to reach hotel. "
