Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The stuff was very helpful. The room was big. The restaurant upstairs is very nice with very helpful waitresses. It is ok just for a nap.
They are build propably now the hotel so there were a lot workers in the reception area building things so there is a lot of dust. There was also a rain and a lot of water went in our room with closed window and our room flooded. Its hard to find the hotel as the roads are really small and also there is near another hotel with similar name so watch out.
Salvo solo la posizione, vicino ai gath, nella città vecchia.
All arrivo la camera si presenta sporca, sudicia e infestata dalle formiche. Usciamo un paio di ore in attesa della pulizia. Torniamo e la camera è allagata. Veniamo assegnati ad un'altra stanza: ci seguirà un odore irrespirabile di muffa per due notti. La struttura è fatiscente. Orribile. Siamo rimasti due notti perché senza alternativa. Ci sono due signori tuttofare: sono gentili e disponibili. Il manager diurno invece non è una buona persona. Alla fine ci rimborsa il prezzo di una notte e ci abbuona il transfer dall aereoporto. Ma l esperienza è tremenda. Non può valore più di 10euro a notte.
Location and restaurant are great
First of the 3 rooms we booked, 1 was given to someone else and 1 room was downgraded and the room that was given to someone else The rooms were flooding with water and so extremely dirty, and we had to keep cleaning the water out all night .. and other room We had water was flowing out of air conditioner and floor full of water.
La ubicación. La vista al Ganges.
Las habitaciones necesitan más mantenimiento.
It was pretty good One of the best hostel in India Thx Sunjea 최고..
Great location; right next to the Ganges to the Ghats. Hotel also has a airconditioned rooftop bar with beautiful views on the Ganges. Room was clean. Friendly staff. They arranged us a taxi from and to the airport for a very decent price (1000 rupee).
Room is quite simple, which is good enough for one or a few nights.
La vista de la habitación hacia el río Gangues es lo mejor, la ubicación al hotel cerca al río permite ver los atardeceres y amaneceres en el río. El desayuno es excelente!. El personal de recepción fue muy amable.
Para llegar al hotel tienes que caminar como 15 minutos por calles estrechas, el hotel ofrece servicio de transporte por lo que recomiendo usar este servicio, de otra manera sin hablar inglés y usar Maps será difícil llegar.
Emplacement parfait, proche des ghat principaux, personnel agréable
En Inde, la propreté est très limitée, les WC peu aérés, et la literie pas très importante
The owner was available at every call made and was very responsive and helpful.
Right next to ghats, amazing view from the property balcony, great rooftop restaurant recently refurbished, excellent hospitality by Hotel staff, shout out to Sanjay and Neeraj
Los del hotel me ayudaron un montón sobre todo a llegar. Sin su ayuda habría sido imposible
El agua de la ducha huele a ceniza y es difícil llegar por cuenta propia. El restaurante del hotel no queda en el hotel
Τα δωμάτια έχουν παράθυρα που βλέπουν στο Γάγγη. Παρέχουν διπλά κρεβάτια. Το κεντρικό σαλόνι είναι ψηλό και μεγάλο. Το προσωπικό ευγενικό.
Η υγρασία είναι ανυπόφορη, οριακά δεν μπορείς να ανασάνεις. Ο δρόμος προς το ξενοδοχείο θυμίζει εμπόλεμη ζώνη, όπως και όλο το Βαρανάσι βέβαια. Μας έβαλαν στο ισόγειο χωρίς να μας ρωτήσουν. Τα μπάνια είναι σε κακή κατάσταση. Το πρωϊνό άθλιο και σερβίρεται σε άλλο κτίριο. Εκτός αυτού για τα δεδομένα της Ινδίας το κατάλυμα είναι σίγουρα ακριβό. Δεν θα έμενα ξανά εδώ με τίποτα.
Die ganzen Bewertungen auf Booking scheinen erfunden oder für ein anderes Hotel geschrieben worden zu sein. Ziemlich runtergekommen aber ok sauber. Braucht dringend neue Anstriche. Varanasi ist nicht Bielefeld, klar. Und man muss sehr viele Abstriche machen. Das ist bei dem geringen Preis zu erwarten. Aber die Bewertungen sind üble Schönfärberei.
Runtergekommen, wenig liebevoll. Aber super Lage und sicher.
Incredible location, just minutes from the ghatts. Set inside the old town you have to navigate the incredible maze of alleys to the hotel. Once there, you’re in a little oasis of calm and quiet. Our room has a balcony which overlooked the Ganges - just stunning! The room was perfect. Comfortable, hot water, drinking water. The staff were lovely and so helpful with all our questions about Varanasi, and helped organised a private boat trip for us.
La habitación tiene una vista espectacular del rio.
La habitación está para actualizar.Es una pena que con esas vista el hotel esté tan desaprovechado.La zona es muy antigua, centrica y con acceso a los ghats, pero no tiene encanto.El desayuno, muy básico lo sirven en otro hotel cercano.
Nur der Blick auf den Ganges.
Das Hotel hat den Namen „Palace“ nicht verdient. Die Zimmer sind heruntergekommen. Die Wandverkleidung beult und löst sich, das Furnier blättert, Fliesen sind kaputt, Fugen schimmelig, Vorhänge fleckig. Die Türen sind voller fettiger Fingerabdrücke, ebenso das Betthinterteil von fettigen Köpfen. Das Hotel hat kein Restaurant wie auf Booking beschrieben. Im Foyer lag überall Zeug rum. Zum Frühstück musste ma in ein anderes Hotel gehen. Der Frühstücksraum glich einer Kantine mit langen Tischen. Laut Booking hatte ich ein Zimmer mit Balkon gebucht, bekam aber eines mit Fenster und einem Gemeinschaftsraum mit Fenstern. Nach Reklamation konnte ich erst nach 2 Tagen wechseln. Alles ist sehr lieblos und ich hatte den Anschein, man legt überhaupt keinen Wert auf Gäste. Schade!!
Really good overall experience. The location is amazing—very close to all the main areas anyone would want to visit. The staff are excellent, very attentive to details and always helpful. The rooms are well equipped and comfortable. The highlight is the great river view with a shared balcony (with AC), perfect for enjoying sunrise and sunset. Airport transfer and laundry services are also available, which made the stay even more convenient. Many good tourist spots and facilities are nearby, especially close to the main ghats.
No major issues during the stay.
The view of the Ganges from our balcony. After traveling India for a month on a budget conscious itinerary, Sri Okmar Palace stands out amongst the many other hotels. There's a mini fridge in the room, the A/C blows cold air, there was always hot water, and above all was the constant attention from the staff. We stayed in one of their larger suires upstairs. They arranged to have us picked up at the airport, and porters helped carry our bags down the labyrinth of impossible alleyways to reach the hotel.
The bathroom could use some updates.
The location is superb.
For the price, everything was perfect
La propiedad está muy bien ubicada, a metros de los ghats, tiene una refacción reciente, el personal es muy amable
El edificio estaba desprolijo, con cosas por todos lados y polvo por que están haciendo una obra en la terraza, así que hay gente trabajando y polvo. Tampoco pudimos disfrutar de la terraza del edificio por la obra. Debido a los festivales de holy hubo problemas con internet. Entiendo que todo esto fue algo casual y que se va a solucionar pronto
Excellent emplacement
Propreté générale
Great location next to Chousatti Ghat and to Chousatti Temple! The staff was very friendly and helped me arrange my onward trip. I had a room with a view of the Ganges, which was spectacular, especially during sunrise. No traffic noise.
Molto in centro
Pulizia al limite
サンジャイさんカタコト日本語で親切でした。
場所を見つけるのが最初は大変かも。
Εξυπηρετικότατόι,προσπάθησαν να μας βοηθήσουν σε κάθε επιθυμία μας.Ο ξεναγός μας εξαιρετικός και πρόθυμος να μας βοηθήσει και να μας κατατοπισει
2回目の宿泊。前回泊まった時に素晴らしいロケーションで気に入ったので、今回もこのホテルを予約した。 ガンジス河が部屋から一望でき、素晴らしい景色を与えてくれます。静かで穏やかな時間を部屋で過ごすことができました。 夜は門番の方がいてホテルのセキュリティも完璧です。 マネージャーのSanjayさんが自分のことを覚えていてくれて、柔軟に部屋のアレンジにも協力してくれました。 他の人におすすめできるホテルです。
Wi-fiが少し弱いので、その点が改善されれば良いなと思いました。
La camera era molto spaziosa, grande terrazzo condiviso con altre 2 camere, ma è così grande che non ci si disturba. Hotel ideale per chi vuole fare una esperienza indiana ma non troppo estrema. Fantastica la camminata di 10 min negli stretti vicoli che portano all hotel dalla strada principale. Il servizio è essenziale ma funziona bene. Ringrazio Sanjay che alla reception ha organizzato in pochi minuti il taxy e 3 persone per portare le valigie.
È difficile dire cosa non mi è piaciuto perche l hotel va contestualizzato con la città di Varanasi, la pulizia era buona ma per chi cerca la perfezione forse non deve nemmeno prendere in considerazione la città come meta Inoltre a varanasi ci vado da molti anni ed ho imparato che i prezzi degli hotel vicino al fiume costano mediamente molto.di piu che in altre aree secondo me legate alla manutenzione annuale dovuta alla stagione delle piogge e alle difficoltà logistiche di approvvigionamento. Ultima nota: il letto per me era troppo duro.
La vista sul Gange è notevole benché avvenga da una terrazza non privata ma comune ad altre camere, sporca, infestata dalle scimmie e pertanto non utilizzabile.
La struttura è sporca e maltenuta. Intonaci scrostati e sporchi, tappezzeria scollata, rivestimenti dei divani sporchi, puzza di muffa, lampade non funzionanti, arredi demoliti, asciugamani puzzolenti color più’ grigio che bianco, Wi-Fi mal funzionante ,personale che dorme già alle 9 di sera sui divani della hall. In ogni angolo oggetti di servizio ammassati qua e là. Le foto pubblicate della struttura e delle camere sono completamente fuorvianti. La colazione non viene servita in hotel ma nell’hotel vicino. Raggiungere la struttura dalla strada principale è un’impresa a causa del dedalo di vicoli dove ci si perde. Per fortuna dalla vicina e ripidissima scala del ghaat si può facilmente raggiungere il lungo fiume ed anche l’area delle vie principali. Rapporto qualità prezzo sballatissimo.
Medewerkers waren ongelooflijk vriendelijk, zorgzaam en behulpzaam. Kwamen ons ophalen bij de dropoff. Liepen de eerste keer na arriveren mee om de weg te laten zien.Lokatie was geweldig.
Niks, we hebben enorm genoten
Central and clean good breakfast
Had a very pleasant stay here. The property has a lovely heritage feel, and the owner/manager was genuinely warm and accommodating, which made things easy from check-in to local guidance. The location is a big plus—just a 2–3 minute walk to the Ganga, and around 9–10 minutes to Kashi Vishwanath Temple, making early morning darshan very convenient.
One thing to note: like much of Old Varanasi, it’s a bit of a walk from the main road (car-accessible) through narrow, winding lanes, and it’s easy to get turned around if you’re not familiar with the area. That said, the stay and location more than make up for it. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience the old-city charm close to the ghats.
La camera era anche abbastanza grande, ma puzzava di muffa ed era sporca. C erano le formiche nel letto, siamo dovuti scappare…
I had a lovely time staying at the Omkara Palace. The staff were exceptionally helpful, friendly and serviceful. My room was great with a view of Ganges river. Best bed anywhere, very comfortable. Location was close to the places I wanted to go. Thank you!
THIS TEAM IS THE BEST! You feel welcome and supported from the moment you book the room and when you leave you feel like leaving friends. Anyhow, do NOT expect a Hotel according to western standards (when booking most Hotels in India), as the standard always will be slightly lower in terms of maintenance, equipment and standards. Some guests have been dissappointed, but you should not be! Because with THIS HOTEL, expect the BEST and warm hearted and service oriented HOTEL TEAM you will ever meet! From overal communication and responsiveness (mail, phone, chat), to organizing airport pickups and boat rides, handing you a water bottle whenever you enter the hotel and taking care of any special whishes. These guys are really there for you. And, with some rooms, you have got a terrace right over the Ganges River to enjoy the sunrise or have some evening drinks! Thanks for the Time at your place, when I come back to Benares, it will be to your place!
The location in the HISTORIC QUARTER (and its narrow and ancient alleys) is a bit tricky to find as you really need to memorize the way or use google maps the first times going back to the hotel. But thats NOT really NEGATIVE, thats just SOMETHING you need TO CONSIDER. On the Upside, you are in the middle of everything and never need more than a 3 minute walk to get to your destination!
La possibilité d’avoir un transfert (payant) gare/hôtel et hôtel/aéroport organisé par l’hôtel. La vue depuis la terrasse. La proposition d’effectuer diverses activités sur places (payantes) ou un guide pour visiter la ville.
Les photos sur Booking sont très largement trompeuses. Nous avions expressément choisi une chambre supérieure avec terrasse. Impossible d’y accéder en raison tout d’abord des singes très agressifs et ensuite à cause des travaux au-dessus de notre chambre. Des bouts de ciment tombaient sur notre terrasse !!! Et ce, sans aucun avertissement de l’hôtel. C’était non seulement extrêmement bruyant mais dangereux !! D’autre part, il y a eu une grande confusion avec le guide qui nous a été recommandé par l’hôtel. Le prix a été 10x supérieur à ce que nous avions compris. Erreur de notre part de ne pas avoir bien compris, mais ce fut le guide le plus cher que nous avons payé durant tout notre séjour en Inde ! Heureusement, celui-ci s’est révélé tout à fait bien et passionné par sa ville qu’il a à cœur de faire découvrir (shivaguidevaranasi). Le prix des transferts était très élevé également. Bref, nous ne recommandons absolument pas cet endroit, malgré un emplacement dans le vieux Varanasi très agréable.
Wonderful views
Near the ghats
El personal muy agradable y nos solucionaron la llegada de un paquete. Y nos gestionaron el taxi hacia el aeropuerto.
Que estaban haciendo obras en el hotel y hacia un poco de frío.
Hotel perfetto per chi vuole veramente ammirare la stupenda Varanasi . Tutto si puo' migliorare ma bisogna sempre considerare il contesto . Chi non apprezza questo hotel in Varanasi non ha capito nulla di Varanasi .
Nulla
A localização é excelente, fica a poucos minutos a pé dos principais Ghats. A equipe é muito educada e prestativa. A cama é confortável, o banheiro tem água quente que funciona muito bem (fomos no inverno, dezembro/2025). A equipe prontamente nos ajudou a organizar roteiro com guia turístico e passeio de barco no Ganges. Além da proximidade com o rio e com os Ghats, o hotel fica bem perto de bons restaurantes para refeições de qualidade.
O hotel precisa de reforma nos quartos. Imagino que a umidade nos quartos seja alta pela proximidade com o rio Ganges. As paredes têm mofo e estão descascando, a umidade acentua o cheiro. O hotel fica no centro da cidade, onde não permite o acesso de carros nem Tuk tuk, pois as ruas são muito estreitas. Tem uma caminhada boa a pé para chegar no hotel, mas eles oferecem ajuda para carregar as malas neste percurso (esquecemos de utilizar esse recurso). O preço poderia ser melhor, pois o valor que pagamos foi o mesmo da nossa estadia em hotel 5 estrelas em Nova Delhi.
The view.
Run down. No maintenance. Dubious cleanliness. No restaurant. No heating.

値段の割にホテルの設備がイマイチ
La posizione vicinissima ai Ghats e la vista sul Ganga. Lo staff gentile e disponibile ha portato le valige a spalla dalla strada principale fino all'hotel tra i vicoli e viceversa. Un grazie ai ragazzi.
Abbiamo soggiornato dal 26 al 29 dicembre nella suite Rudraksha, che di suite ha solo il nome! La camera è piccola, decisamente datata come il bagno. Umidità fortissima, tanto che abbiamo chiesto una stufetta. Pulizia approssimativa, dopo 2 giorni abbiamo richiesto che la camera venisse pulita e gli asciugamani cambiati. La colazione da consumarsi in camera ( il rooftop non era agibile per lavori), poca scelta e di scarsa qualità. La terrazza è in comune con le altre camere vista sul fiume, e al mattino è invasa dalle scimmie che si calano dal tetto! Il tutto al modico prezzo di 70 euro al giorno.
A lovely hotel right in the middle of it all. You definitely need the staff to collect you & your bags as it’s quite a walk from where a taxi will drop you off. It’s to narrow to get cars along the streets. You will soon get your bearings to walk about yourself. It’s about 2 minutes to the ghats.
Only problem we had was the location of your room, 101, it’s the first room as you come in so you got all the noise. My partner did complain and it instantly stopped.
Hotel proprio sul fiume Gange a due passi dai ghat più iconici della città quindi posizione ottima per vivere la vera Varanasi Dalla nostra stanza avevamo il terrazzo con vista sul fiume direi spettacolare. Stanza spaziosa,bagno un pò piccolo e senza aerazione. Nel complesso buon hotel
Le personnel était très amical ! Prévenant et souriant !
Ce palace n’a de palace que le nom ! Les photos ne sont plus d’actualité depuis bien longtemps ! La chambre était grande et agréable mais la salle d’eau était restée dans son jus des années 50 ! La terrasse était en travaux et les tables pour le petit déjeuner avaient vécues ! La gentillesse du personnel a évité le pire .
It was in a really great location, right on the Ganges, and easy to walk to all of the sights we wanted to see. Staff were friendly and accommodating, they booked us a boat trip, and also helped us get to and from the property.
Our room felt a little run down and just a bit dirty in the bathroom in places. The room wasn’t cleaned at all during the stay, and by the end it felt like we’d brought in quite a lot of dirt from the streets and it just needed freshening up. The breakfast was really lovely and the staff were very welcoming, but the rooftop was a building site whilst we were there.
Das Hotel ist in den alten Gassen von Varanasi versteckt nur 3 Minuten entfernt vom Ganges. Durch eine riesen steile Treppe erreicht man sehr schnell die Ghats. Das Zimmer und Badezimmer waren gross. Einfach eingerichtet und man hat alles was man braucht. Die Mitarbeiter extrem hilfsbereit. Erfüllen alle Wünschen und Organisieren auch Ausflüge. Das typische Indische frish zubereitete Frühstück mit dem Masala Chai auf der Dachterrasse war ein Highlight. Danke Sanjay und das ganze Team für den schönen Aufenthalt!
The location of this hotel is both its plus point and minus point. The location is fabulous because it is located close to the ghats, perched on a height, which ensures amazing views of the mighty river Ganga and all the activity happening in the river(boats of various types sailing by all day) and on the banks. And yet, due to the location near the ghats, the hotel can only be reached on foot after navigating the (in)famous galis of Benaras- narrow lanes where you have to share the passing space with two-wheelers, majestic bulls, dogs, goats and people, whilst carefully scanning the ground, since you might inadvertently step on cowpats or worse. However, those 15 minutes of careful walking pay a rich reward when you finally get to the hotel and behold the Ganga in all her glory from your room window/ terrace on top of the hotel. The rooms are adequate, with all basic requirements fulfilled, including toiletries, tea/coffee making facilities, fridge(not all rooms), hairdryer, hot water at all times. The restaurant on the terrace is a great bonus- fab views, great staff, including the very skilled cook- the menu is reasonably diverse, and everything we tried was fresh, tasty and nicely presented. The included breakfast was delicious, too, with continental and Indian breakfast provided as a buffet. All the staff are very helpful- Shashank and Sanjay at the front desk, along with Neeraj, efficiently arranged transfers from the railway station, to the airport, sunset boat rides, provided information about when to visit the temples.
The rooms are not kept in great condition- some of the light switches are not connected to lights, a few lights do not work. the paintwork on doors, plaster on walls is a bit unkempt- but none of this detracted from my stay. Its just something that could be easily improved on, to justify the 3-4 star label. The stairs to the restaurant on the terrace are quite steep, not very suitable for the elderly or people with restricted mobility.
Everything from the people who work till the hospitality they extend. When in Banaras feel and stay like a Banarasi
Na
Omkar Palace is a fantastic heritage hotel right on the ghats on Ganga, offering beautiful views and a comfortable stay. I stayed with them for 3 weeks in November and the staff made sure I was nothing but comfortable. It was blissful waking up to the sunrise over the Ganga and sound of temple bells. The food was delicious and freshly prepared on request. The staff made sure they assisted me whenever they could, especially Hanuman Ji and Neeraj Ji. I sincerely thank each and every one at Omkar palace for making my stay so memorable. I will definitely book with them again when in Varanasi.
The only downside would be the Wi-Fi situation. It is not as strong as it should be in river facing rooms. Also the monkeys (although adorable), make it difficult to get a stable Wi-Fi by damaging the wires around the hotel. Since I also remote worked while staying here, this was a bit of a struggle. But the staff was very helpful in guiding me through this.
De lokatie
Het was uitermate vies. Ik denk dat de nachtkastjes, bord achter het bed en deuren niet worden schoongemaakt. Ik heb de schoonmaker laten komen om de deur te poetsen. Overal schimmel in het gebouw en kamers. Het bed was klam/ vochtig wat onprettig was. De wifi was super slecht. De stopcontacten zijn zo los dat je stekker en vanzelf uitvalt Het personeel probeerde de teleurstelling een beetje te verzachten maar ik zal daar niet meer heen gaan. Echt een vervallen toestand
このホテルの一番の価値はガンジス河が一望できるところ。河が見える部屋を予約すればどのような時間でもバラナシに触れることができるでしょう。静かで落ち着いた雰囲気がある点も素敵なホテルとしての特徴だと思います。
泊まった部屋のWifi環境が悪かった点。あと部屋の清掃が泊まった中の何日か若干いい加減な時があった。ただし総じては泊まる価値のあるホテルだと思います。
Wonderful location, just 2 minutes from the Ganga river. The food is amazing, both restaurant and breakfast. The room was quite big. The rooftop terrace is veri nice. Very nice boat trip with a great guide (Ghoula). The bed was very comfortable.
There was a lot of noise in the patio in the evening, just a few metres from our room, caused by people talking loudly. A bit of humidity smell in the room. The room was not super clean. The photos on booking.com are not representative of the room.
I was right on the bank of the river Ganges, and that is why we booked it. It has a nice restaurant with a good selection of meals and snacks which they were happy to serve on the room balcony. The staff were so helpful and would do anything for you. You can’t get a taxi to the door you have to go down small lanes to get the the hotel which is an adventure in its self when you are in a wheelchair. And don’t forget the monkeys running about.
Sadly the hotel is looking run down and is in need of a complete revamp to bring it back to it formal glory.
L hôtel se trouve dans une rue calme ce qui est appréciable, le pdj qui se trouve en rooftop avec le pdj correct, le personnel très sympathique
La literie est dur, la salle spartiate
Superbe heritage hotel avec un tres beau jardin et des chambres confortables. Gentillesse et efficacité de tout le personnel. Repas exceptionnels. Je recommande les yeux fermes

We booked the hotel to have a more authentic experience in Varanasi than staying in a large corporate hotel. The staff and location are what make the hotel. With a roof terrace, where you can enjoy a drink/food whilst watching the boats sail along the Ganges. It had everything we needed. The staff should be mentioned too and met us at the roadside to carry our luggage and show us the way on foot (no roads to the hotel - take hand luggage only, if possible) The very kind man on reception that liaised with our tour guide and taxi driver to ensure we got where we needed to be. Everyone we encountered during our stay were super helpful and when returning to the hotel after sightseeing we were met with cold bottled water.
Hotel direttamente sul Gange con bella vista dalla terrazza. Non essendo possibile arrivare fino in hotel con taxi/tuk tuk il personale ti viene a prendere sulla strada principale e ti porta in hotel.
Stanza un po' piccolina.
Excellent location. Friendly & helpful staff.
Bathroom had shower & toilet combined & water had to be swiped away after every use. There was water damage in bathroom. There were ants in the room. Room expensive compared to other Indian hotels.
In the heritage are of Varanasi, so not accessible by car which can be a challenge. However, hotel provided staff that could carry your luggage to your car. Facilities were quite good. Service was excellent.
Buildings in Varanasi are very old, so not really a "palace" by today's standards.
Das Personal ist äußerst hilfreich und war bei vielen Wünschen sehr zuvorkommend. Es wurde eine persönliche Bootstour organisiert und ein Pick-Up/Drop von Bahnhof (900 INR) und zum Flughafen (1000 INR). Die Lage des Hotels ist sehr in der Nähe des Ganges, so dass man in ca. 10 Minuten fussläufig zum Kashi Vishwanath kommt. Bei der Anreise sollte man berücksichtigen, dass man mit Auto/Rikshaw nicht an das Hotel kommt. 5-10 Minuten zu Fuß sind nötig. Daher war der Abholservice sehr hilfreich. Auf der Dachterasse befindet sich ein Restaurant mit sehr nettem Personal und einem köstlichen Palak Paneer, sowie einem kleinem Frühstücksbüffet.
Wir hatten ein günstigeres Zimmer im Vergleich zu anderen in diesem Hotel - hier ist zu beachten, dass es in diesem keine Fenster gibt
Hosting is awesome! Really loved it.
A perfect and calm place to stay. The size of the room amazing, clean with a very good food, service very helpful as all over the India. The hospitality and feeling safer then in even EU was just amazing. Not only in here but all over our Indian tour! Staff was amazing, the river view WAS OUTSTANDING, food?? AMAZING. The way the hotel arrange taxi from the airport and way back ... OUTSTANDING .
everything was just perfect
The staff were extremely helpful.
Nothing.9
Location and access to the area and surrounding ghats. Without the staff negotiating our way to the hotel on arrival would have been hard in the alleyways. The staff were friendly and no query was too much. They organised transport and even managed to get us front of house seats last minute to enjoy the Arti ceremony!
The rooms could.do with bit of updating as could the roof top 'dining room', which was nothing more than a run-down shack on the foof. The ceiling was falling down and it lacked an inviting facade. The rooms did not reflect the website photos and the odd shaped bed was quite unique! However, we could not fault the food and the attentive staff.
Excellent customer service all around. The hotel was helpful in organizing tours, assisting us with finding a shop in the city that was not on Google Maps, calling a music venue to ask questions for us, and they carried our luggage to and from the taxi. They also responded promptly to issues with the room, and gave us plenty of water. Our room had a shared balcony overlooking the river, and was a 10 minute walk from the main street.
Excellent location, beautiful view of Ganges and sun rise from the shared balcony. Very close to temple and important Ghats. Hotel is very clean but it is a very old building so you might smell some dampness occasionally. Hotel is situated near a ghat, you can reach Ganges via steps and have a holy dip. That means access to the hotel from the main road where taxi and auto drop you is only by walk. Takes about 20 minutes via a windy Gali, you could easily get lost but google is good, and we used google all the times. If you have an old person or disabled then it might be difficult but there are excellent freelance wheel chair help available, costs around rupees 300 per trip. Hotel staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Breakfast is included but we didn't have it. We ordered alacarte dinner couple of times, food was home cooked to order and excellent. Totally we stayed five nights, we thoroughly enjoyed, would definitely stay again.
Access is difficult but worth it. TV and internet wasn't working due to mischievous monkeys. Good mobile reception though.
My room was comfortable, on the main floor and easily accessible. Also accessible was the balcony which was wonderful to be able to use and view the Ganga.
The mini split air-conditioning unit was placed right over the bed. Cold air, needed in general was uncomfortable. The vent from the mini split was directed down at the bed. I was forced to turn it off in order to avoid it causing extreme heat in the room. I turned it on and off throughout my stay.
Stayed two nights in the Kailash Suite, nice big room (decor feels a bit dated), good A/C. Loved the breakfast on the roof, what a view. The best feature was the large balcony. It's a shared space but only with two other rooms so if those two rooms are unoccupied you'll have it all to yourself, great place for the sunrise. Breakfast itself is simple, Indian or masala omelet with white bread, no fruit, a nice touch they give you a little thermos of coffee rather than just one cup.
It rained heavily one afternoon and a good amount of water seeped into the room from the balcony doors. A couple guys came in with squeegees and took care of the problem. I'm guessing this is a recurring issue.
Hemos tenido una estancia estupenda en este hotel. Muy limpio, céntrico y el personal muy amable en todo momento. El aire acondicionado funciona muy bien y el desayuno es muy correcto. Contratamos los taxis del aeropuerto con ellos y también un guia para ver Varanassi. Todo ha ido muy bien. Hotel muy recomendado, para volver. Gracias por su hospitalidad.
Todo muy bien
The property is more run down than photos suggest, but still comfy. I was a bit let down by the condition given the high ratings, though everything’s relative. Important: the hotel isn’t reachable by car, rickshaw, or even pedal rickshaw—you have to walk 10–15 minutes from the closest drop-off. Contact the hotel for porters; they’re essential. We visited during monsoon and didn’t realize this, so we dragged rollerbags through narrow alleys with 2” of water, cow dung, and buzzing scooters. Backpacks are much easier. GPS can be off in the alleys—using two phones or pausing until the dot jumps works. Staff was great and responsive, though one pushed tours and boats too hard. Food was good, and the location is epic—awesome Ganges view from the balcony. You don’t need a guide for the burning ghats or aarti; Google Maps gets you close enough even with a few wrong turns. Touts in Varanasi (not the hotel) are the worst I’ve seen in India. Many lie to get money—ignore them like locals do. Foreigners look like walking ATMs. Key rule: no photos at the burning ghats without family permission. You don’t need to pay or have a guide to be there. Rain leaked through the balcony doors and brought a few ants, but not a huge issue. Airport taxi via hotel was ₹1100—beat-up car, no AC. Uber was ₹945 but dropped us 800m away in the rain. Hotel porters help a lot. Recommend booking transport through the hotel but ask for a better car.
Ubicación, cambio de divisa, trato, desayuno. Recogida y vuelta al aeropuerto
La ducha del baño
Struttura comoda per visitare Varanasi. Si può cenare sul roof top panoramico
Il personale alla reception poco pro attivo nell’organizzare escursioni
Hotel staffs are awesome !! They are always ready to assist. Though the walk from Main Street to hotel is a bit confusing but overall it was a good experience !!
Posizione perfetta, proprio sopra il Gange. Il proprietario è una persona molto disponibile, ci ha aiutati con tutta la logistica di arrivo e partenza e durante il nostro soggiorno. Il personale dell’hotel è molto professionale e attento a ogni esigenza. L’apparenza un po’ trasandata della struttura passa in secondo piano
La atención de todo el personal, muy amables. Está bien ubicado, el lavabo limpio, solo el lavabo y la cama. El colchón cómodo.
Las instal.laciones necesitan un buen mantenimiento, está todo muy descuidado. El precio por el que pagamos no se ajusta al estado del hotel. Los rincones de la habitación estaban sucios, interruptores medio colgando..
