Varuna Palace Varanasi , Near Mandir & Ghat's

Prem and Anita made us feel very welcome and at home. Every morning they prepared breakfast for us in their own living room. Prem also took us on a guided tour around the old city and the ghats. He knows the place very well and is fun to spend time with. He showed us every nook and cranny that the city has to offer, many such places are not even listed in the guidebook and everything we saw was accompanied with an explanation or story. We normally don't hire guides, but in this case we highly recommend it, since as a foreigner you don't know the rules, the customs and the possibilities at such a place of special religious significance as Varanasi. You won't regret it!

Absolutely yes, the facility is super cosy, feel at home. It was a beautiful stay. Very good breakfast.

Homely stay,, we had a wonderful experience the room was neat and clean with all facilities

We had a wonderful experience at this house. We felt welcomed by the very kind host, Prem, who also guided us through the unique city of Varanasi. The Varuna Palace's facilities allow you to experience the city as it should be. Excellent breakfast, special thanks to Hanita!

home stay

In side lane is not proper for car

Excellent Service Neat and Clean Rooms

Very neat and clean and also safe for family and couple easy to reach and easy to visit any place of varanasi. calm place and also nature friendly room. All facilities available like smart tv , balcony, ac etc.

Everything is good . Owner behaviour is very friendly. When you go for visiting varansi stay here for good experience.

Prem is welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful. His wife's chai and breakfasts are amazing. 10nmin rise from train station, 15 min to ghats, 55 minwalk.

(small items) it would be nice to have: lamp beside bed; outlets to recharge devices next to bed; small fridge in room; access to cool drinks (soda water, coke, fresh lime soda etc.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel in Varanasi. It had such a nice, homely atmosphere, and Prem really made me feel welcome, like I was right at home. He was incredibly helpful, sharing his deep local knowledge, and even went out of his way to assist with my onward journey, helping me book tickets and guiding me on how to navigate my next destination. I highly recommend staying here and experiencing Prem’s wonderful hospitality. Thank you, Prem, for everything!

Me and my friend Lydia from Australia travelled from Australia and then from Rishakesh to Varanasi; the night train was delayed three hours so we arrived way later the expected wait time presh was waiting for us out the front with the biggest smile. He took us in and showed us around his beautiful place and made sure we had everything we needed. Comfortable sleep and cold AC with fan TV with excellent wifi that enabled Netflix and the lot. His wife Anitha made the nicest Indian breakfast and we sat and spoke about what ever we needed to throughout the day. Would definately reccomend and come back here if coming through Varanasi again. He can also speak French which is amazing

Nothing it was homely and welcoming

The break fast was homely. Enjoyed it. It was typically Local break fast. Nice and good.

Everything was in place.

Friendly host who gives all the information you need for your stay in Varanasi. Good location, not too close to the busy main road. Basic room, good enough for me.

It was a good find given the rush of Mahakumbh in the nearby cities. The hotel management was very helpful and even arranged for nearby rooms for my family.

The hotel may consider adding in-house kitchen in future.

It was very quite and relaxing day and night as the property is set back off the main street the staff where fantastic Prem helped me book my train ticket nothing was a problem for him everything is kept so clean the breakfasts where fantastic Anitas cooking was great and the coffee I feel as this is my indian home now thank you Prem and Anita for your hospitality

Great location, assessible and central to airport, temple area and ghats. The property owner was wonderful and extremely helpful. The rooms were well maintained and clean. There was however no pantry service available during our visiting time. Nonetheless it was a great experience

The cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired. No toilet paper. The place was not easy to find. It was in some back alley. Walls were thin with people snoring and a lot of mosquitoes.

The room was tidy, the host made us comfortable. Though we arrived late at night he accommodated us.

AC and Geyser were not operational throughout, it is working on additional requests despite it being mentioned.

Host was nice.

We had booked the room in advance and had got confirmation from booking.com, however the host did not keep any room for us and adjusted us in a different room which was not clean n congested. Bathroom amenities were not upto the mark.

Excellent service…personal care and attention…even went further to ensure my belongings were safe. Prem goes extra mile

Nothing wrong with accommodation

If I will come once more to Varanasi, I will come only to this Hotel. The location was perfekt and easy to find. Very clean and comfortable. Thank you very much.

Everything was perfekt. Thanks.

Excellent hosting by Prem friendly service

Homely

Prem is certainly the nicest person I met in India. He takes care of each and every one of his customers as if they were members of his own family. You can ask him anything, and he will be there, finding solutions within a few minutes. I had so many requests, constantly bothering him with various things, but Prem is very patient, always smiling, and doing everything he can with a good heart. He organizes things perfectly for you and always has excellent advice. I believe that's a very good reason to choose this place. What's more, Prem is an official guide and he speaks a real good French! The property is located in a small and quiet alley. It is well-maintained, very clean, and also very safe (with a heavy metal door and CCTV). The room I had was good for the price—the bed was comfortable, with a huge and warm blanket, which was perfect for the cold weather. The bathroom was spotless, and the water heater seemed like new, so the water was really hot.

A heater in the room during winter would be great!

Prem and his family were so welcoming. Amazing people to stay with. The room was very clean and comfortable and we had everything we needed for our short stay. The breakfast was very nice his wife is a wonderful cook. I would highly recommend staying here for a very homely experience. Special thanks from us as after finding out it was my partners birthday, they surprised her with a birthday cake and blessing upon our return from the city that evening. Thank you again. 🙏

Very neet and clean property, location is good, staff behaviour is awsome specially Mr Prem thr owner of the property is very polite and helpful cooperative.

Nothing all good.

Clean and well maintained rooms. Location is convenient. Mainly it is away from the crowded places and I found it extremely safe.

Clean warm comfortable room with large comfy bed. Friendly host too

The room was very comfortable and clean. The hotel is in a rather quieter area and one can also sit on the sunny terrace. The host Prem and his wife Anita are very friendly and supportive. Prem is also a travel guide and went on two trips with me (Varanasi day tour, Bodhgaya tour). His wife Anita prepares very good Indian food. I would come again.

Very good stay, very convenient stay and good facilities.

Nothing, all good !

The host was very nice. The place was comfortable and the food (the indian breakfast) was a very good. A really good experience

Varuna Pałace is a nice and comfortable hotel in Varanasi but the host- Prem makes it something that you can feel more like at home than in a hotel. Very helpful, friendly and carrying person. We had breakfests in his companion ,at his house, which were prepared by his wife.The room has a nice balcony, AC, fan, and is placed in some distance from the busy and noisy roads.

Neat and clean

Bit far from the main temple overall the stay is good

Prem ji was very helpful and guided very properly during my stay. He ensured that everything was in place and was always available on call if anything was required. The room was also good with complete cleanliness.

It was a little difficult to get local transportation from the area to the ghats, but it was festival time so that is understandable. On normal days, it should be fine.

We come from Germany Prem the hotel manager was good and correct man The hotel was very very clean and we come every time to this hotel Every morning we become fresh and a big cup of coffee We comes back 👍👍👍

All is good when you have a problem please tell him

Host is amazing! Great place to stay :)

Very clean and comfortable. Close to everything but also away from hustle and bustle. Prem is an excellent host and his wife made a lovely breakfast

The owner was really helpful and stay was very much comfortable.

The owner is a very good human being and very helpful.

The most beautiful building in not very attractive surroundings. The owner is a very nice person, also working as a tour guide. I felt like at home.

Mr Prem (the owner) is a tour guide of many years experience, taught French (his daughter is a cosmologist) and an absolute gem of a human being. Trust in Prem, he will guide you around the city, he is an expert and clearly known to, and respected by, everyone. Book activities through him, works out a lot cheaper than booking in advance. The property is basic and clean, I'd bring some soap and some strong mosquito repellent. While the property is a little difficult to find, the pleasure in staying here is the welcome you get. It is like staying with an old friend. Can't recommend enough. But make sure to get a local sim, everyone in India uses Line. Google maps will help the tuktuks bring you back. Again, highest recommendation.

We had a great experience for the three nights we stayed here. The room was good for the price and had a balcony which we made use of in the evenings. The owner Prem and his wife are such great hosts and were so helpful in planning our days out in Varanasi which made things so much easier. We also asked all sorts of questions about the area and had informative answers. This Homestay is most definitely worth a visit!!!

Didn't manage to have hot water but it wasn't a big issue for us as cold showers were refreshing with the heat outside!

Exceptionally clean and Prem provides above and beyond!!

Nothing!!

Nothing very poor house keeping

There was nothing to be liked .

Beautiful and quiet property! Surrounded by amazing people. Prem the main host/owner and his son Ritik were absolutely amazing. Great help all round. Helped with washing clothes. Helped with fresh water. Room has air con and luckily enough I was upgraded to the deluxe room. Will be back for sure. ( also prem speaks 5 language) very helpful.

No bad words to be honest
