EKAANTA

The food was excellent, with a thoughtful spread and plenty of local flavours, and the stay was good overall. The rooms were spacious, though some basic in-room items and facilities were missing. It felt a bit overpriced for what you get, even with the location, private ghat, evening aarthi and organised ghat walk. Getting there was difficult by car. The hotel has no parking, and its very narrow lane is congested from early morning until midnight, making even loading or unloading a vehicle a challenge.

The evening Aarti and soulful music were the best parts of my quick one-day trip to Haridwar. I chose Ekaanta this time, and it surpassed what I expected. The whole staff made me feel very welcome and looked after me well. Ashish also gave me a very relaxing potli massage. Thanks to everyone, and to General Manager Mr. Pradeep Banerjee for making sure I was comfortable.

The retreat felt positive and peaceful, and gave us a real break from the rush of everyday life. My mom and I stayed at Ekaanta Retreat for two days during Maha Shivratri, which made the visit feel especially memorable. It's beautifully set on the ghats of the holy Ganga. Everything, from the satvik bhojan to the well-organized Ayurvedic treatments, was arranged with care. Mr. Pradeep helped with all our bookings and kept the stay smooth and comfortable. Dr. Girish planned helpful, personalized treatments for both of us, and Mr. Parashit led early morning yoga and blissful meditation that refreshed our minds and souls. All the staff were polite, respectful and attentive. We left feeling rejuvenated and energized. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for peace, healing and spiritual renewal. 🙏✨

I had only the included breakfast, but the food was spectacular. The hotel facilities and our room were exactly as advertised, and the staff were thoughtful, personable and professional. They went out of their way to help without being overly attentive. Ekaanta backs onto the Ganga in an amazing location. The nightly Aarti at the hotel was both moving and fun. I didn't try the onsite wellness services, so can't comment on those. For anyone exploring the spiritual city of Haridwar, this felt like a tranquil oasis and I'd highly recommend it.
