Kedareswar B&B

Hotel close to our expectations.

wonderful experience. close to Ganga, AC room, those are good.

Perfectly located, literally on the steps of the Ganges roughly halfway between Assi Ghat and the main Ghat. This is our second time at Kedareswar B&B, we stayed here this time for one month and the three brother who own the hotel plus their long serving team could not have been more helpful and accommodating. The rooms are simple, but comfortable and we were really pleased to have a nice soft bed and good pillows. Breakfast on the terrace overlooking the Ganges is hard to beat, but as you move into the warmer months we suggest you eat early before it gets too hot. Thanks all for a great stay.

It's a great location, on the ghat, with tremendous views of the Ganges. Rooms vary a lot in terms of price and qualities - we had 3 during our stay here. They are pretty basic, but interestingly furnished. You are paying a premium for the view and the fact that it's right in the heart of the alleys of the old town. There's a shared terrace overlooking the ghats, where you can watch the action below. You can order basic eggs and strange toast for breakfast on terrace. Second floor rooms also have a shared "private" balcony. The location also has its perils: the rooms on the alley side are right next to a temple that can be VERY noisy with bell ringing etc.

Rooms vary a lot, we stayed in 3 different ones for about R2,000 (£17.50) a night for two inc small breakfast. The best rooms are large with relatively good facilities for the price. Some have fridges. The small non a/c rooms are noisy from the temple next door. Relatively clean by budget Indian standards. On the positive side: staff were very obliging, it’s a great location and there’s an excellent shared terrace overlooking the ghats ***** the Ganges. The Mona Lisa cafe up the lane serves nice traveller food and there are terrific R10 samosas freshly cooked on the corner by the hotel. Watch out for the hungry monkeys.
