Shiva Ganges View Guest House

Reception stupenda, ragazzo bravissimo educato ci ha consigliato un ristorante ottimo per cenare lì a due passi. Colazione espressa ed ottima i camerieri gentili ed efficienti. Bravi tutti

The staff the owner amazing, gentle and i love the position

Very well kept nice view! Very good room

Emplacement parfait, sur les ghats du Gange, au cœur de la vie religieuse et quotidienne des habitants, de la vieille ville... La chambre, grande et confortable... Salle de bain correcte... Petit déjeuner très copieux

L'établissement était en grande partie en travaux...ce que nous comprenons car hors saison...mais beaucoup de poussière, pas d'utilisation possible du hall d'accueil... Cependant, le personnel a fait tout son possible... Globalement, le rapport qualité prix est un peu excessif...

Equipe, quarto, restaurante para refeição rápidas, vista do Ganges.

A localização é difícil. Fica entre vielas, e precisa de auxílio para entrar e sair.

Great location

We loved the food prepared by the hotel , also central location, great balcony with a nice view of the gang

The price given the view it offers and the room facilities was super high.

Location was great, staff were great. Room had a great view and very clean. Room was a good size too.

Didn’t like that the property charged almost double when booking a taxi to the train station and triple for a boat tour. Well over priced.

It’s a very old heritage property and the look was amazing . It’s just on the bank of the river Ganges and from every room you can see the holy river Ganga . The place was well maintained and the staffs were super amazing , welcoming and friendly. The owner of the property Mr. Tandon was himself very enthusiastic about welcoming the guest and giving a complete tour of the property. It was like Feel at Home .

Nothing much to be disliked but few small maintenance needs to be done considering it’s a 150 years old property.

Lokalizacja super. Spokój, ale jesteś tuż przy Gangesie. Na nogach ogarniesz wszystkie rytuały i inne. Personel jest bardzo uczynny. Nawet wysłali moje kartki pocztowe bo przegapiłem, że poczta w sobotę nie działa. Jestem wdzięczny. Zadbali o mnie w kwestii mojej diety bezglutenowej.

Seul l'emplacement vaut.

Le boss est mauvais et désagréable, arnaqueur, menteur, L'endroit est hyper sale, poussiéreux, tout, les espaces communs, et les chambres. D'ailleurs allez lire les mauvais commentaires de google

Wonderful view of Ganges and warm hospitality

Access to the Guest House should be easier; the present way is very long and tedious. An easier way to reachh through the ghat side could be thought of.

Excellent location if you plan to have a Ghat life experience . The food is so delicious cooked by in house chef .. the host Mr. Tandon uncle was very courteous and active even at the age of 85 years ... Kudos to the entire staff , excellent rooms with ganges view . We recommend the property for a wholesome stay.

It's just that it's a bit of a walikf sitanxe from the main road and the property doesn't have a lift .

Location

Everything was good

Personnel très accueillant et disponible. Ambiance familiale au cœur de Varanasi, cuisine végétarienne délicieuse, vue imprenable sur le Gange, possibilité de faire du yoga, massage, visite organisée etc. Nous recommandons vivement!

The bed was very comfy. Water was hot but very low pressure. Internet was great. Rooftop sunrise yoga with VI as was a highlight. Our hotelier was very helpful and his staff were delightful though we didn’t need to see much of them. The friendly chai wallah very near to Hotel provided one of the best chai we had.

Low water pressure, limescale buildup on all areas of the bathroom. We asked for a top sheet (only mattress sheet provided) and when it arrived it was stained and clearly in need of a wash. It was replaced with a better one, and returned to the shelf. We were provided with a packed breakfast on an early departure day consisting of 4 bananas, drink, water, biscuits and 2 cupcakes.

Sono stata in questa struttura con mia figlia per quattro giorni, a fine marzo. La posizione è ottima: si trova nel centro storico di Varanasi, affacciata su un ghat tranquillo e a circa 20 minuti a piedi dai principali ghat turistici, risultando più o meno equidistante da Assi Ghat e da Man Mandir Ghat. La struttura organizza transfer da/per l’aeroporto e la stazione in auto; tuttavia, anche scegliendo di prendere un tuk-tuk in autonomia, lo staff è molto gentile e disponibile ad accompagnare gli ospiti fino al punto carrabile più vicino, occupandosi anche delle valigie. L’hotel si trova in una stradina stretta, non raggiungibile con i mezzi, il che garantisce piacevolissimi momenti di silenzio. La nostra camera, situata al piano terra accanto alla reception, era comunque molto silenziosa. Dal rooftop si gode di una vista stupenda sul Gange e sulla città. Al nostro arrivo abbiamo chiesto la sostituzione degli asciugamani, che erano macchiati, e ci sono stati prontamente cambiati. La pulizia della stanza era buona. Il desk escursioni è gestito da una bravissima guida, il sig. Vivek, che durante un’escursione ha condiviso con noi spunti e storie interessanti sulla città, sulla cultura e sulla vita quotidiana di questo luogo sacro. La colazione è molto buona e varia, preparata al momento, e il cibo è fresco e conservato in modo igienico. Super consigliato!

Amazing location, view, hotel

Very slow service, sometimes the things we ordered were forgotten so we had to order again, 2 single bed shawl given which was very uncomfortable, toilet was made in such a way that it was not usable and we had to go out for our business.

Spacious room Next to Mansarovar ghat Ganges view from balcony Staff are cordial

Way too expensive and not value for money ( paid Rs 15k for two nights), rip off for what is available in return: Toilet is too small, wet area doesn’t dry fast has to be mopped, WC in small area means cannot sit straight, old door (rusty) Steep stairs, room was on level 2, no lift, walk up/ down in conjunction with walking 15min to nearest main street is inconvenient. Dine in menu not always available, ordered mini thali and got told this is only available at higher volume orders not just one, and i travelled alone. Access to hotel from main street drop off is 15 min, narrow lanes, smelly, dirty , creates unpleasant experience. Cash only payment for any taxi organised by hotel and any food purchased in the hotel. No security/safe box to keep valuables. Dinner ordered fried rice was not nice, felt like vomitting

Location

Expected a little more clean considering they are charging such hefty rates.

Location was really nice. All the staff were always willing to help with tours, drivers, laundry, meals for lunch and dinner

In one room the AC was not working very properly. In other room, the water from the sink did not run with normal power. But overall, a very nice stay, and would highly recommend.

Хороший отель, оставил приятное впечатление. Номера простые, но чистые, есть всё необходимое. Удобное расположение — легко добраться до основных мест. Завтраки без изысков, но вполне нормальные, чтобы начать день. Атмосфера спокойная, можно отдохнуть без лишнего шума. Отдельно хочется отметить персонал — очень доброжелательные и отзывчивые. Встретили, помогли с чемоданом, донесли его до номера, а также подсказали, как лучше добраться и сориентироваться по городу. Всегда готовы помочь по любым вопросам, без формальностей и с нормальным человеческим отношением.

Mi è piaciuto la gentilezza dello staff, la vicinanza della Gange ma per arrivarci non era per niente semplice

Colazione poco fornita ma non è stato un problema per noi. Il vero problema è stato il bagno. Davvero in pessime condizioni, odore costante, tubi che perdevano acqua, ho appoggiato i vestiti sul piano del lavandino ma non mi ero accorto che la tubazione perdeva acqua. Dalla doccia usciva solo acqua tiepida, il condizionatore gocciolava ed avevano messo un asciugamano per terra, biancheria da letto troppo scarsa.

First and foremost, location. The advertised view of the Ganges from rooftop terrace is wonderful and riverfront access is literally one minute away. We arranged for hotel pickup from the railway station and to the airport which worked seamlessly - there is no way we would have found the place otherwise, and that’s part of its charm. Big cool room (we had top floor deluxe), very clean, staff on hand if we needed them. Currency conversion is possible.

Wasn’t the world’s best bathroom but it did the job - you’re not at or paying for the Sheraton. Walk in is fifteen minutes (staff take control of your bags) and there is no elevator. That’s not a complaint incidentally, just something some people may need to consider.

Le Lenzuola pulitissime. La positione TOP. IL ROOFTOP con visione Gange. Ci hanno asegnato la camera nella Lobby (ingreso) che era in mezzo a tutto. Reception, cucina etc etc. Arivati alle 15 , svegli dalle 03 del mattino, non c'e stato verso di riposare per il rumore delle pentole I check in/out 😁😁😁🤘 Il propeietaro simpaticisimmo. Raccomandabile al 100% per visitare Varanasi. Scelta miliore.

The cultural style. It was old but exhuded the beautiful culture of old India. Right on the Ganges and walking distance to cultural ceremonies each night. Loved it.

The windy paths to the hotel a bit of an eye opener. As taxis couldn’t get through which is very understandable it was approx 15 mins walk with bags. Hotels will help with this so organise with them. It’s not a negative as such as this is what all places would be like. I would return in a heartbeat.

Struttura bellissima e molto pulita in una posizione ottima, inoltre offre ottimi servizi tra cui molte attività da fare a Varanasi. Colazione buona.

Una posizione meravigliosa, si vede il sole sorgere e il fluire ininterrotto dei barconi su e giu' dal Gange.

La sala da bagno deve essere ristrutturata

Other than location to some extent... disliked everything

Behavior, food types, food price, they are thief, it seems they dont pay GST, they push for cash always, hotel stay, food etc. They are reluctant to accept card payment, tell falsely that card machine not working, then other than handing over the chargeslip, they dont give any bill or invoice. I have been told to take it from Booking.com. They owner is only after cash collection. Bathroom is terrible

The location, the food and the tour guide. We did all of the tours which were excellent and the tour guide is charming. The meals were delicious and the staff very nice.

I didn’t like the room which was gloomy with brown Formica everywhere. I asked to change it but the owner refused. We had already paid and he said it was the only one available, which proved to be untrue.

Отличный отель для Индии. Чисто, вкусно, уютно, аутентично.

Для Индии дороговато

Location was convenient

The hotel was a bit damp and stuffy (ground floor rooms), the entrance is in a very dirty road and very noisy even at night

Die Lage

Alles

l’emplacement au bord du Gange !

notre chambre était au rez de chaussée près de l’entrée et de la réception.

Un emplacement exceptionnel. Le directeur et tout son personnel absolument adorable et très professionnel. Je recommande fortement cet endroit.

Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Inhaber und Personal… Ein Hotel, wie ein Hotel wirklich sein sollte. Gutes Essen! Sehr gute Lage!

Nichts

Great location and the staff were superb! Everyone was to lovely and helpful. The chef made us delicious breakfast and dinner during our stay. Our room was very comfortable.

L'emplacement sur les Ghats... Le petit déjeuner sur le rooftop en face du Gange.

Le bruit, notamment les aboiements vers 2h du matin, mais pour une ou deux nuits c'est acceptable.

De locatie, uitzicht en het hotel zijn goed, maar de kok - die overal in India zijn kennis en ervaring heeft opgedaan - maakt het top met waanzinnig goed en heerlijk gevarieerd eten. Definitieve aanrader

De omgeving kan voor sommige mensen lawaaiig zijn

Great location, friendly staff. Thank you for arranging a guided tour of Varanasi – we’re glad we chose this option. Wonderful view, beautiful room. Isabella and Lena, Poland

Amazing Ganges River view! Amazing friendly Hosts! Delicious Food!

Location was excellent right on ghats so much to see and do in area Bust with restaurants & great cafes nearby Check in was fine Room was clean shower & bathroom fine Terrace was good to hang washing out & sit but view very obscured Roof terrace lovely to sit and watch busy life on the Ganges Breakfast was good really enjoyed fresh omlette / pancakes were great Staff were all very friendly & helpful especially Vinod who went above & beyond He helped us book train tickets & sorted our laundry all appreciated

Balcony has thick grill so could not really see out Ground floor room I did not like but to get a higher floor they wanted even more money 4000 it’s and room already quite expensive for what we got Upper rooms did look better but not available on Booking.com

Très bel emplacement. Très grande gentillesse du personnel et un accueil sur mesure du propriétaire.

La salle de bain mériterait un petit rafraîchissement.

Personale molto disponile e gentile. Posizione ottima, Avevamo la stanza con affaccio direttamente su uno dei ghat.

Il bagno era piccolino.

ゲストハウスからガンガーへすぐアクセス出来る。ガンガーからもゲストハウスの看板が分かりやすいため、すぐに見つけられた。

・滞在したのは一階のガンガービューの部屋だったが、ガンガーは部屋からほとんど見えない。窓の外の近くにたむろする人や犬が多く、朝晩問わずうるさいし匂いが気になった。 ・シャワーは温水が出ないしエアコンも効かないため、冬はすごく寒い。 ・朝食も非常に簡素なもの（チャイ、トースト、バナナ等）しかない。 ・レセプションの人や宿に入ってくる（関係者か不明？）人が執拗にガイドツアーをすすめてくる。

The location and access to the ghats The staff and owners personal attention The food

Location

Noise at night from window that didnt close

Все понравилось, отличное расположение, прекрасное отношение! Все достаточно чисто, хороший завтрак!Прекрасный вид с крыши и из номера! Это было не забываемое приключение. Всем рекомендую! Спасибо вам большое! Вы лучшие!!!

Very clean and hygienic and the location Breakfast and views are nice and the room is very clean

Maybe nothing to do with the Hotel itself but is impossible to sleep with the noise as it is right by the Ghats

The location and view were perfect, it’s easy to go sightseeing! Also the manager was so kind and he helped us transportation very smoothly. thanks to him, we could catch our flight. I will definitely stay here again!

Only stairs available in this guest house, so it might difficult for elderly, but we were totally ok for that.

Beautiful guest house, very nice people

Fantastic location, very well kept and great service.

I loved it

Not as clean, very bad location, you have to drag your luggage in narrow streets as car cannot go there, very far from temple, and the supposed Ganges view is obstructed

Аутентичный отель, заботливо отреставрированное старое здание. Чисто, хорошая еда, потрясающий вид на Гангу. Трансфер из/в Аэропорт по приемлемой цене, помогли донести чемоданы по узким улицам.

Really liked the location. Fantastic view of the Ganges. The bed was very comfortable. The room was clean.

The pillows were very hard. The breakfast options were limited and got quite boring after 6 nights. We didn’t like the hard sell of massages/yoga/guides at the beginning. It felt like the hotel was trying to make as much money out of us as they could.

Posizione ideale anche se non comodissima da raggiungere. Camere pulite e spaziose

Nulla

Great location and walkable to all sites

Nothing

The location was great, walkable to all the main sites

Nothing

Location is just by the side of ganges...so very easy to access . Food was tasty.

A lift is very necessary to climb up to third floor. Being an old house the stairs are very high and after walking on the narrow uneven roads and climbing up and down on the ghats for whole day it was too tiring and sometimes aching to again climb the stairs to reach our room. Bathroom was large ...but the wet and dry areas need to be seperate, otherwise the whole bathroom felt slippery .

Beliggenhet, standard, mattilbudet og muligjwter for diverse guidede turer

Noe treg innsjekking, ved far i huset

The location was ideal for visiting temple. Room was clean with a porch which we enjoyed for meditation. A quiet and peaceful space. The owner is attentive, welcoming and helped us arrange taxi for local sites. Highly recommend for value and location.

Nothing we didn’t like.

A centuries-old house, extremely well-maintained. It reflects Varanasi in its essence. Wonderful view of the Ganges. Inside the old city, so understand that cars or tuk-tuks don't reach the door, but it's only a few meters to the street where cars can circulate. Close to incredible places to eat. The owner is a very kind gentleman.

There's a certain insistence on hiring the hotel guide, but nothing that compromises the stay. You just need to know what you want.

River facing rooms are best to experience

Breakfast options, Food menu can be improved

Location is awesome and staff behavior is very good. Room no 8 is best in that property

In this property there was no lift, so for some people it will be not recommended

Stedet har Indiens bedste kok som laver maden når du ønsker det. Vi fik meget for pengene. Der var stor imødekommenhed og venlighed fra hele personalegruppen.

Eftersom hotellet ligger ned til Ganges var der selvfølgelig en del støj fra hverdagsliv og festival.
