Amritara Suryauday Haveli

Everything

Hotel should arrange an ebike from the main road to the property..very difficult for elderly to walk the distance

スタッフの皆さんとても親切。ガンジス川をゆっくり眺められる。

Location is good. Getting to property is through narrow lanes as expected in Kashi. The hotel staff maintained good communications and had help to get our baggage to the hotel.

L’hôtel est installé dans un ancien palais situé au bord du Gange, même si le lieu a aujourd’hui davantage le charme d’une ancienne demeure que celui d’un véritable palais. L’emplacement est néanmoins exceptionnel : directement sur les ghats, il permet de se déplacer facilement à pied pour rejoindre les différents points d’intérêt de la ville. L’accueil est sympathique, la chambre est assez sommaire mais correcte, et les repas proposés sont bons. Merci également à Shiva, qui nous a gentiment aidés à porter nos bagages lors du départ. Au final, l’emplacement reste un véritable atout et l’expérience de séjourner sur les ghats est unique. Cependant, le prix nous a semblé excessif au regard des prestation.

L’accès à l’hôtel n’est pas simple. Il est impossible d’y arriver directement en voiture et il faut obligatoirement faire appel à leurs services, car l’établissement se trouve au bout de plusieurs petites ruelles depuis la route principale. Il est également impossible d’y tirer sa valise : il faut impérativement la porter sur une certaine distance dans les ruelles étroites et parfois encombrées. Nous avons également été surpris d’être dérangés à deux reprises dans notre chambre : une première fois tôt le matin, sous prétexte du nettoyage, mais surtout pour savoir si nous prenions le petit-déjeuner ; une seconde fois le soir pour nous inviter à venir prendre le repas alors que des musiciens jouaient dans la cour. Cette manière de procéder nous a semblé assez inhabituelle et dérangeante. Un autre point négatif concerne la gestion du paiement : plusieurs semaines avant notre arrivée, nous avons été sollicités à de nombreuses reprises via WhatsApp pour des problèmes supposés avec notre carte bancaire. Celle-ci fonctionnait pourtant parfaitement. Finalement, nous avons dû effectuer le paiement bien à l’avance via une application indienne. C’est le seul hôtel de notre séjour en Inde qui a procédé de cette manière, ce qui nous a semblé assez inhabituel. Concernant la fameuse « chambre avec vue », il faut être très clair : depuis la chambre, la vue est inexistante. La fenêtre est grillagée et recouverte d’une bâche plastique opaque. Pour profiter de la magnifique vue sur le Gange, il faut sortir de la chambre et se rendre sur la terrasse ou le rooftop. Le Wi-Fi était également assez peu performant et les moustiques étaient nombreux (ils ont d’ailleurs eu largement l’occasion de se régaler avec nous 😉).

The location and view were outstanding. Loved the ambience. Very tasteful interior to match the essence of the city. Good food. Peaceful dining and sitting areas. Live music every evening. The place is managed really well and run by friendly staff. I do not remember everyone's name. But the gentle approach and sober, noninterfering hospitality are appreciable. Very well-trained staff I must say! Excellent choice for quality family time. I took my 72 years old mother with me, who is suffering from back pain. She was well taken care of. She loved her stay immensely.

All good- location , staff , food

Little far from temple May give more white and fresh towels

A Wonderful Stay at Amritara Suryauday Haveli, Varanasi We had a truly wonderful stay at Amritara Suryauday Haveli with our family. This hotel made our experience in Varanasi incredibly special and memorable. The location is simply outstanding, right in front of the ghats with breathtaking views of the Ganges. Waking up in the morning and experiencing the spiritual atmosphere of Varanasi from such a privileged location was something truly unique. The property is beautiful, full of charm, and very well maintained. Everything was clean, elegant, and peaceful. Our room was always spotless thanks to the excellent housekeeping team, who did a fantastic job every day. What impressed us the most was the staff. Everyone was extremely kind, professional, and genuinely caring. They made us feel welcome from the very first moment and did everything possible to make our family comfortable throughout our stay. The service was impeccable, always attentive yet warm and personal. Every request was handled with care and kindness. We highly recommend Amritara Suryauday Haveli to anyone visiting Varanasi and looking for an authentic, comfortable, and unforgettable experience by the Ganges. We would gladly stay here again.

La atención muy profesional y amable. La ubicación es extraordinaria justo al lado del shivala ghat. Muy buena vista al Ganges desde la terraza. Lo comida era deliciosa y se tomaron en cuenta nuestros pedidos especiales. El hotel es un Heritage y tiene un ambiente muy acogedor.

The closeness to the ghats

Wifi was questionable at times

Staff, location and food

Nous avons adoré notre séjour à l'Amritara Suryauday Haveli. Belle chambre avec une vue les ghats. Petit déjeuner sympa et diner génial sur le roof top avec menu spécial. Les tours en bateau ont été un must de notre voyage! Merci a toute l'équipe pour cette organisation!

Absolutely superb from arrival to leaving. Brilliant staff who are only too willing to help. The location is magical and we had a room looking out over the Ganges. Great vegetarian restaurant on site with superb and knowledgeable staff. They offer a free boat ride to the Ganges cetemony in the evening and can arrange a sunrise boat ride as well. After 5 weeks travelling India, this was hands down the best accommodation on all counts.

The property was situated next to Shivalay ghat , away from the hustle , peaceful most importantly the environment created by the staff made our stay feel like home , taking from food to the live music in the evening was outstanding. Room was clean , hygienic and also safe for girls to stay .

Everything was outstanding with amazing staff and quality of service they provided.

スタッフ全員がとても丁寧でした。また、夕刻のプージャへ参加するためのボート送迎のサービスがとてもよかったです。プージャも正面から座って見ることができました。

From the very first moment, this hotel impressed with flawless organization and warmth. The transfer was perfectly arranged – a smooth combination of car and boat that already felt like part of the Varanasi experience rather than just logistics. The location is outstanding. Situated right by the ghats, it offers the rare privilege of stepping out and simply walking along the Ganges. Being able to explore the riverfront directly from the hotel is something truly special. The hotel itself is small, charming, and full of character. The rooms are beautiful, very clean, and thoughtfully maintained. Housekeeping is excellent, and the overall standard of cleanliness is exceptional. What really elevates the experience is the staff. They are incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. Everything is perfectly organized, and communication – even via WhatsApp – is seamless, fast, and reliable. They also arrange excellent tours, making it easy to explore Varanasi in a meaningful and well-structured way. A special mention goes to the laundry service: fast, efficient, and perfectly handled. Despite being in the heart of such a vibrant city, the atmosphere in the hotel is calm and relaxing, especially at night – a true retreat after the intensity of the ghats. One small tip: during festival times, it is advisable to book a room without direct Ganges view, as celebrations on the river can get quite lively. Overall, this hotel offers a rare combination of charm, professionalism, and location – making it an exceptional place to stay in Varanasi. Highly recommended.

We had a genuinely wonderful stay in Varanasi, and a big part of that was our experience at Amritara Haveli. To begin with, the haveli is perfectly located near the riverfront, just a 15-minute walk from both Assi Ghat and Dashashwamedh Ghat, with amazing views from the common balcony and rooftop terrace. The hotel is beautifully decorated, our room was comfortable and well appointed, and the breakfast was plentiful. Most of all, the staff was outstanding. Everyone was friendly and helpful, and it was clear that everything was thoughtfully organized to make our stay enjoyable. We especially appreciated the two complimentary evening boat tours, the afternoon tea on the days when we were around to enjoy it, and our conversations with the two main people at reception, Hasan and the other gentleman whose name we unfortunately did not learn. Our apologies for that. It was also a delightful surprise to receive a room upgrade, which allowed us to enjoy a view of the steps at Shivala Ghat from the privacy of our room, without being observed ourselves. I also received a special gift for International Women’s Day, along with a slice of red velvet cake for both my husband and me at tea time. This was a lovely gesture. We appreciated all of this very much and would not hesitate to stay at the haveli again if we return to Varanasi. It was worth every penny.

Ho soggiornato una sola notte ed è stata una esperienza indimenticabile in questa struttura incantevole con accesso direttamente su un ghat del Gange... tutto perfetto..la posizione, la cortesia dello staff , la pulizia e i buffet (io e i miei amici abbiamo optato per colazione e cena inclusi) .. senza alcun dubbio consiglio questo hotel dove vivere lo spettacolo del sole che sorge e tramonta sul Gange direttamente dalla terrazza sul tetto

Nulla

The staff members were very caring specially Anjali ,Shiva and the Duty Manager.The hotel is well situated and the hitel food is quite good.The room is well maintained with the required amentities.The toilet also is clean.

The bath taps could be labelled with Hot and cold water.The breakfast offering could be more varied with more continental food .The high ea could also be reviewed with more varieties and alos more supervision so as to avoid monkeys to come.

The location is great. It is right on the Shivala ghat and all the major ghats are at walking distance . All the visits (ganga arti, temple visit etc) are easily arranged via the hotel. The hotel staff are excellent and would be happy to fulfil any reasonable requests.

Since the property is at the ghats, the way to reach the property is via the tight alleys of kashi bustling with traffic. It can be a challenging experience for the uninitiated. The hotel staff does guide you through the way. There is no hotel parking provided rather a private parking has to be used which costed us INR 400 (as of Jan 2026) for 24 hours.

Fantastic location, beautiful building, lovely and helpful staff.

A bit noisy and the filthy air was not kept outside (pollution level high, which of course is not their fault)

I stayed here for two nights and had a very good experience. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff was polite and helpful, the room was spacious, and the overall atmosphere was calm and relaxing. The location was also convenient, which made the stay even better.

There was nothing specific to dislike. Overall, everything went smoothly during our two-night stay, and the experience was pleasant.

L’atmosfera in generale e la gentilezza e la cordialità del personale. Sono tutti molto professionali, ma vorrei segnalare alla reception Anjali e ai servizi alle camere Shiva e Faiyaz.

Forse il prezzo per camera un po’ alto rispetto agli standard europei

Abbiamo soggiornato 2 notti. Camera vista Ganga curata nella pulizia da Faiyaz (grazie Faiyaz per esserti preso cura della nostra camera). Abbiamo cenato 1 sera in hotel risultato caro e scarso nelle quantità rispetto ai ristoranti esterni. Purtroppo non abbiamo potuto/voluto usufruire della cena al ruf top perché è riservata alle cene con menu e prezzo fisso. Colazione buona ma poca scelta di cibo dolce.

Lovely stay made special by the great staff.

Everything was great.

Lokalizacja jest niesamowita, dosłownie nad brzegiem Gangesu, z przepięknym widokiem na rzekę i spokojnym otoczeniem. Pokoje są duże i czyste, łóżka bardzo wygodne. Byliśmy pod doskonałą opieką Sandipa i Kuldeepa, którzy byli naszymi wspaniałymi towarzyszami, zawsze gotowi wyjaśnić każdy rodzaj serwowanego jedzenia i specyfikę różnych regionalnych kuchni indyjskich. Nie wspominając już o naszym fantastycznym kucharzu Pradipie, jego jedzenie było dla nas prawdziwą ucztą. Do zobaczenia następnym razem!

Nic, wszystko było ekstra

The Location of Suryauday overlooking the Ganga. I chose view of Ganga from my room. The window was small but ok. easy access to the Ghat anytime. Not too crowded.

To reach the Hotel you have to walk a bit through the lanes. This is an old city so mostly are through by lanes. People with wheelchair will find it difficult. Though the Hotel is very helpful and have porters for the luggage.

The location was incredible and the staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was enjoyable. Brijesh especially provided exceptional service in the restaurant. His hospitality was second to none.

The price was quite high as the room was a little outdated.

Beautiful setting. Friendly and responsive staff. Great vegetarian restaurant. Great support for arranging tours

Some required urgent repairs were needed to my bathroom while I was there. No direct access to main roads causing issues for arrival or departure - they have alternative methods

Amritsar made our stay Banaras really special. The location, ambience and service of the hotel is amazing and the behaviour of the staff is outstanding. Thanks to Hussain hi for making our stay so comfortable and addressing all our requests. The service team including Brijesh, Sandeep, Kuldeep was always ready to help with a smile on their face. The housekeeping team including Fayyaz, Dilip was really good. The river view terrace and the vintage Haveli ambience makes and the stay special. The hotel arranged for a local guide Vishal who made our Mandira darshan very special without any hassle. He stayed with us one whole day and made sure to address all our wishes including darshan, attraction visits, food and safer shopping. Thanks to all the staff for making our stay so special.

Everything was good

川に近く、夕方のガンガーアールティのアレンジも良かった。 部屋や、屋上からガンガーで沐浴してる人たちが見れて良かった。

La ubicación es inmejorable, justo al lado de Shivala Ghat, donde constantemente ves a la gente bañándose en el Ganges, y en solo 5 minutos llegas a la calle principal donde resulta muy fácil coger un tuktuk. El equipo fue increíble, con especial mención a Hasan, que nos ayudó muchísimo a organizar qué hacer cada día en Benarés; estamos eternamente agradecidos a él. También queremos destacar a Faiyaz, Vikash y al resto del personal, siempre atentos y amables. El hotel estaba impecablemente limpio, con camas muy cómodas, una ducha fabulosa, aire acondicionado y agua caliente perfectos. La comida es muy rica y variada, disponible a cualquier hora. Además, ofrecen muchas actividades gratuitas durante el día, como yoga al amanecer, desayuno buffet, hora del té y música en directo por la noche.

Nada en particular, quizá el precio pueda parecer un poco elevado, pero sin duda merece la pena.

A special gem of a hotel. Highly recommend

The stay at the hotel was excellent. Most importantly, the staff — from the doormen to the restaurant team, and everyone throughout the hotel — were outstanding and truly respectful.

La proximité des Ghats. Le bain dans le Gange rendu possible grâce a la proximité immédiate de l’hôtel (et d’une bonne douche) Les ruelles très … typiques pour accéder aux Ghats principaux, une sacré expérience. Le toit terrasse, la vue sur le Gange, le lever de soleil en faisant un cours de Yoga, le staff très aimable.

L’accès est compliqué, mais l’hôtel propose de venir vous accompagner pour vous indiquer le chemin. L’accès en bateau n’était pas disponible à cause de la mousson. Beaucoup de chiens errants et de vaches mais ils sont inoffensifs.

Exceptional staff, a fantastic location, and an outstanding chef made my stay truly memorable. I spent two days here with my wife and parents, booking two river-facing rooms that offered breathtaking views. The accommodations were modern and equipped with all essential amenities. The staff’s hospitality was remarkable—courteous and attentive throughout. The manager, Mr. Anup (forgive me if I misremember the name), shared invaluable insights into the significance of visiting Kashi. Mr. Husain was incredibly supportive and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. Brijesh, Krishna, and Kuldeep provided prompt and warm service, making the experience even more special. A huge appreciation to Chef Sachin, whose culinary skills delighted us all—even earning my mother’s praise! This place perfectly captures the essence of Kashi, making it the ideal retreat for anyone looking to immerse themselves in its charm. I will definitely return with my family!

nothing ....

Its location

Very inconvenient to go to the property. No signage on road. Not worth the money. Staff was quite good though.

Located by the Ganges on the Ghat as described and best accessed by boat. The ghats are unkempt and water/ air was more polluted than we expected. The hotel is small with roughly 15 rooms, restaurant on site has good vegetarian food. They have evening tea and free evening boat ride to the Aarti. They also have classical music performers every evening. The staff is plentiful and mostly courteous.

Access to the hotel can be very problematic for elderly guests.

A small hotel with an excellent location & wonderful staff. Located right on Shivala ghat with direct access to the ganges. The highlight is the boat trip to check one in and the complimentary boat trip for the evening rituals at a nearby ghat

Location was fabulous. On the ghat with a private entrance to the ghat steps . Walking distance from Assi Ghat , Sankat Mochan temple . We even walked along the ghats to Kashivishwanath temple and Manikarnika Ghat . Staff was extremely polite and well behaved. Property was kept meticulously clean

No balconies to the rooms . Ganga facing rooms also had a very small window. Pillows in the room were hard and impossibly thick which made sleep uncomfortable.

You cannot get there by car, so you have to carry your luggage and walk for 10-15 minutes and the walking is through the streets which are too narrow and very dirty.

Location, size, food , service

Location, service , food

Excellent location and great customer service.

Location

Costly

The location was excellent. Staff well trained. Food was very good. I really enjoyed my stay at the property. Well worth the money. We enjoyed our stay and the property is so close to the Ghats.

The only minus is that your car can't come to the property but the staff will pick you up and will bring you to the property. My luggage was a little heavy so I felt a little bad as the staff had to carry my heavy luggage all the way in.

Great location. Direct access to the ghats. Very personalised service. Tasty food. Decent sized rooms and spacious bathrooms. Couldn’t ask for more.

Other than the access for the last couple of 100 mtrs all good. But I guess with narrow lanes approaching the ghat section in general, it should be expected.

The room size was great. Bed was comfortable. The bathroom was also very big and all amenities were top notch. They have a direct access to the shivala ghat. Also the ghat and ganga view from the common hotel balcony is very nice.

Breakfast starts at 7am which is really late given that this is Varanasi where usually ppl will like to go out early to catch the morning activities at the ghat. Also there is no 24 hour kitchen available. Even a coffee with some simple food wasn't available from their kitchen at around 1230am after we returned from Kashi vishwanath temple. I was asked to just use the hot kettle in room to make the coffee, but after 4 hours of queueing up at Kashi vishwanath temple, i was too tired. Plus was hungry too. Given the amount they are charging, it was really surprising that even simple things like a biscuits or chips was not available, even when you are more than willing to pay extra! Also this place is not accessible by car and needs an auto for access. The property needs to have a dedicated buggy in place for their guests. Instead we have to depend on the auto guys on the road.

The location is very good

Nothing

Clean , perfect spot

Liked it all

Really good location and peaceful place that I like.

Nothing.

Location’a very near the ganges

No

Location / and on Ghat .

Approach for elderly is little difficult . Lift should be added .

Proximity to ghats

No lifts

Excellent location, great food and service. Very courteous staff. Lovely evening Indian Classical music

Breakfast was ok. Location to our satisfaction.

The facilities do not justify the high hotel charges.

Breakfast was good Location was good But inexorbitant pricing. So not Value for Money

Pricing

The location is great. There is a pleasant music performance every day. The hotel quality is decent in Varanasi.

The AC quality needs to be improved.

Our stay could not have been better-this hotel is a true gem by the Ganges! From the moment we arrived by boat, the team made us feel incredibly welcome. The location is absolutely perfect, offering superb views of the river and easy access to all the local attractions, This hotel thought of everything to make our stay unforgettable. On our first evening, we were lucky enough to witness one of the mesmerizing night ceremonies, an experience made even more special by the seamless arrangements from the hotel, returning afterward for dinner felt like the perfect end to the day The room was spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and free from any issues, providing a great escape from the chaos of horns and traffic outside. Once inside, it felt like a tranquil haven, ans was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploration, Thankyou team, you really made us feel special.

Nice clean hotel with helpful staff.

Breakfast service was very poor, table not laid with crockery. Even after asking still inside plate or knives.

We enjoyed the views of Ganges and mostly the courteous and respectful staff of all levels. The hotel being right on one of the Ghats, it made us easier to take a battin Ganges. Also free boat ride from the hotel property allowed us to see the entire views of all famous ghats. The restaurant staff Sandeep and Brijesh provided over and above best services. We will visit the Haveli again in the future.

The proximity to the Ganges and being able to look out from the roof top. Staff very friendly and vegetarian food good. The hotel Was clean.

The walk down the dirty back lanes to get to the hotel. We arrived at night so a bit taken aback. Breakfast average for the western palate. No bar for those who would like a beer or wine
