Live Free Hostel | Rooms & Dorms

I was looking for a good stay and I came across this hostel from MMT. I booked this hostel for a week in Rishikesh. I also booked a backup hostel just in case if I didn't like it here as this was my first experience in hostel. But honestly, After reaching at Live free, I didn't even check for another option. The staff over here is so amazing to everyone. Subhash, Aditya, Deeksha, The Cafe manager, the chef, etc. They will help you in best possible way. I spent my Diwali holidays here. I will never forget my experience in Rishikesh also in this hostel. Live free changed my perception about the hostel life. I came across few strangers on the Ghat and they were like my hostel is not so good they are very rude people. And I felt very lucky (Seriously, touch wood!) If you are planning to go on solo trip or with friends, or on trek(I think it's nearer to India hikes), Live free is really good option to consider as other hostel won't give you the peace I found over here. The cleaning staff will do cleaning everyday. They have to be prepared for new guests. So if you are staying here, You should remember the checkout time strictly. I'm an introvert person. I meditated during the day time at the river. And at night I've met so many new people over here. Everyone taught me something new about life including the owner, Arpan. He is so down to earth. He arranged Lakshmi Puja at the hostel on Diwali. And he gave small treats/party to all guests staying in the hostel. So basically I had wonderful stay at Live free for entire week. My hometown is my soul but Rishikesh city is my heart ❤️ I'll definitely book this hostel again whenever I'll be on spiritual journey again in Rishikesh, Varanasi or in Dharamshala.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at live free hostel in rishikesh, and my experience was nothing short of delightful. From the moment i walked in, the staff's warm welcome set the tone for a fantastic stay. The hospitality extended throughout my visit was impeccable, making me feel right at home. One of the highlights of my stay was the opportunity to meet fellow travelers from diverse backgrounds, creating a vibrant and friendly atmosphere. The staff played a crucial role in fostering this sense of community, always ready to assist with a genuine smile. The culinary offerings at live free hostel surpassed my expectations. The food was not only delicious but also reflective of the local flavors, providing a delightful culinary journey. The cleanliness standards were commendable, with the hostel maintaining a tidy and well-organized environment. The ambience of live free hostel was a standout feature. Whether relaxing in the common areas, enjoying the scenic views, or participating in the hostel's activities, there was a palpable positive energy that enhanced my overall experience. In conclusion, live free hostel in rishikesh offers much more than just accommodation; it provides a welcoming haven for travelers seeking a memorable and enriching stay. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect blend of comfort, camaraderie, and a taste of local hospitality.

Pros: the room and bed was clean. Cleanliness was maintained properly. They clean rooms and bathrooms everyday. Drinking water is available on every floor. Geyser was also there in bathroom. Cons: 1. There was no lock for the wardrobe. When i asked for the lock, they said that they will charge extra rs 50 for it. But then i talked with them and later on they provided it without any charge. We have already paid so much for the dorm. Isn't a lock for a wardrobe in a shared room should be a basic thing. They were just trying to extract more money from me. So be beware of this. 2. Common area is not so well lit, so hardly anyone sits there.

while onward journey I stayed in ladies dorm, which was very clean. in return journey I stayed in common room, nothing wrong with hostel guys, but I think the people visiting should know they have to use the bed lockers provided so they don't mess around the entire room. also people kept making a mess of the bathroom and someone literally pulled off geyser switch making that lose.. Overall I recommend the hostel as the ambience, staff behaviour and food is good..I just hope people visiting the hostel consider the place and stuffs with respect just as they do in their own house .. after all swachha Bharat starts from inside only..

We booked 3 beds for 2 nights in mixed dorm. Dorm was pretty good with decent space and comfortable beds. Each bed was equipped with a multipurpose holding stand, a fan and a strobe light. Parking was also provided. There was a cafe on the ground floor. Food was great there. They also organize live performances in the cafe on saturday but we missed it as we checked in on sun-day morning. Staff was very friendly. They also have a table tennis setup on the terrace. Overall, it was a decent stay with my buddies in the dorm. We enjoyed it.

The facilities were good. They have a nice cozy dining area with facilities like books/magazines, tt table, dining table that are bed type as well as live band setup. The rooms were clean and had all required things to the expected level, though the property is old. Another highlight is the hanging seats in the balcony area accessible to all customers. We had nice time spent in the evening with few drinks there. Overall, their setup is cozy, hostel type with good facility.

I stayed in 4 bed female dorm. The dorm is excellent, clean and has ac. The place is safe for women. There is water cooler right outside. Their cafe downstairs serves excellent quality homely meals at decent prices. Plus they have laundry service etc. Their front desk staff are helpful and offered to store my luggage even though i was staying for only one day before leaving for my 5 day trek. This has been a great experience.

Well located in rishikesh close to ganges. Well managed property. Comfortable stay. Value for money.

This was my first solo travel and my stay at live free hostel was super comfortable and hassle free. The property is easy to locate and they org-anise a lot of activities to keep us engaged during the stay. Overall, it was a safe and enjoyable experience to stay at the property.

Very pleasant and helping staff. Cafe is good. Rooms are clean and we'll equipped with basic amenities. Walking distance from main areas in rishikesh

We were in a group of 8, stayed in the hostel for 5 days. The vibe was relaxing, there is a peaceful charm in the hostel. Clean rooms and bathrooms. Thanks for the amazing stay.

Great place if you’re a solo traveller. The food is also pretty good for a hostel. Rocket, pepper and freya will enhance your staying experience if you like dogs

Cafe staff was little rude while serving food

Live free is my favorite spot when visiting rishikesh or anyway ahead in uttrakhand. Best roomies, neat and clean, best environment, arpan dab-as as best host. This time i also enjoyed arpan 's birthday along with him. I wish all the best to team live free

The stay was great, beds were comfortable and live music was fantastic as well. Will always stay at live free only

Location was good and easy access to lakshman jhula. Did not eat at restaurant here. Clean restrooms and quiet neighborhood.

The stay was nice. The dorms were clean. Beds were comfortable. A great open area to chill out with your friends. Two very cute dogs. Overall experience was good.

It wasn't my first time at live free hostel. This hostel is my go to place in rishikesh and the vibe and ambience of this hostel is amazing. Additionally they have amazing staff and services, and would love to visit again. It also is very budget friendly for solo travellers which makes it a perfect spot for travellers

The stay was superb. The bunk bed were super clean and tidy with charging point and night lamp. We had individual locker. The cafe was the best place to be with soothing music, graffiti on walls, board games, guitar and tango and lot of books.
