Taj Ganges Varanasi
4.3/550 Reviews

Taj Ganges Varanasi

Varanasi|2.37km from city center
India's well-deserved hotel, luxurious decoration, first-class service, intimate and comfortable, rich breakfast, daily newspapers. It is completely isolated from the mess outside, just like being in two different worlds, it is worth staying.

Ramada Plaza by Wyndham JHV Varanasi

Varanasi|2.16km from city center
(Good point) Lobby is clean and nice Good staff, good ***ners and good service I checked in at 15:00, but I was able to check in normally even if I went to 12:00. the restaurant is beautiful The bed is soft and comfortable Good laundry service The pool is pretty clean. Not at a level where you can't swim. Is there a breakfast buffet menu every day? change. I stayed 2 nights but it was nice to have a change. (bad place) I lost my friend's earphones in the room, but I couldn't find them. 2 hours after check out... old hair dryer Heavy construction noise during the day Occasional power outages (recovers in about 1 minute, but often...) Hotel facilities (rooftop, lounge, etc.) are lacking in some places It feels old and deserted. The view from the window is not good (surrounding ruins, etc.) The breakfast bread is bad (croissants, donuts, etc.) and should be improved.

BrijRama Palace, Varanasi - by the Ganges

Ghats of Varanasi Varanasi|3.81km from city center
This is a hotel that impressed us during our trip to India. The service was very attentive, although it only lasted for one night. We went to TAKE A BOATRUDE FOR CEREMONY at 5:15 in the morning. The hotel arranged a boatman and waiter on time to guide us on the boat, and prepared the blanket very thoughtfully. It is hard to imagine how cold we would be without the blanket. Then we went to breakfast. A waiter provided us with services. Usually they started the meal at 7 am, but because we left the hotel at 7 am, they prepared some hot meals in advance, and they were very warm. Then on time, the boatman and PORTER took us on board and went to Baiqiao to meet our driver. They didn't leave until they put the boxes in the car. The key point came, the driver whispered, the hotel front desk started to call him at 5 o'clock in the morning, and constantly reminded him that he must wait for us early, for fear that we were delayed or could not find him. In fact, we didn't tell the hotel in advance, we needed them to remind the driver and so on. We just told the front desk that we were departing at 10 o'clock and we needed to depart from the hotel at 7 o'clock. Makes the hotel more nervous than us, afraid of being late and so on. The meticulous and perfect service exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this hotel, BRIRAMA PALACE VARANASI, WONDERFUL HOTEL!

Not bad, a good choice in this city, there is still a little distance from the Ganges, but there seems to be no suitable hotel on the Ganges River, so staying here is ok, recommended!

Hotel Madin
4.1/540 Reviews

Hotel Madin

Varanasi|2.3km from city center
The hotel is safer in the army area. The front desk was a bit cold, probably too busy. Breakfast is OK, mostly in India, and less in Western style. The room is small, the twin bed is to take apart the big bed that has been put together, resulting in a bed that is very awkward and sleeps at the door. The hotel is a bit far from the altar. Varanasi is the world of tutu cars and rickshaws. There are a lot of tutu cars at the door, and it is convenient to go anywhere. Tutu driver Reis is very good, my friend and I have been packing his car. The cost is about 1000-1500 rupees a day, depending on how far you go, you can bargain. Reis also has half a tour guide, so the price is more expensive than pure tutu, English simple communication is basically OK. It's a lot of time to have a local guide safe.

The overall hotel is not bad, in Varanasi is a cost-effective hotel, the room is clean, the location is OK, not far from the various attractions, the only bad thing is that the waiter level is worrying, the instant noodles in the front desk, actually I do not know The situation opened up.
Pearl Courtyard
3.8/564 Reviews

Pearl Courtyard

Varanasi|3.2km from city center
Pros: 1) Location: it’s near Kashi Vishvanath Temple. We visited at new year and this is best hotel to stay if you don’t want to take cabs on new year. 2) Service: the service staff is polite and quick to respond to request 3) temperature in rooms: the rooms are equipped with split ACs so better control than centrally cooled hotels. 4) Food: Food is fresh and well made in A La Carte’ Cons: 1) Rooms are well maintained but you can see aging on walls in form of dampness and leakages on walls. 2) Rooms can be small. Please make sure you select correct room size as per your need while booking. 3) The biggest CON is the lady Garima at travel desk. I had the worst experience with her. First she will try to oversell the package to you. She tried to sell us a cab package for 3500 for the day which would cover Sarnath, Ramnagar fort, Swarved Temple, BHU. And she would try to tell you that you can cover all of them in a single day. Which is not possible. One day is only good enough for Sarnath. She knew I was leaving at 12 and won’t be able to cover all these locations she still tried to upswell the packages knowing fully well I can never cover all these locations. We could never cover these locations and asked for adjusting the price for our next trip but she said no refunds. I would like to suggest to ***agement please keep better folks at travel desk as this is spoiling your name. I came to know that Garima had behaved like this with another couple a day ago.

Amritara Suryauday Haveli

Varanasi|4.05km from city center
Location - Right at the Ghat. This would also make it inaccessible by vehicle. Hotel had arranged for the pick up and drop of luggages. So no worries there. Special mention to ever amiable Mr. Uday and Mr. Brahm Kumar. Rooms - Clean and well kept. Thanks to Mr. Fayad, Mr. Dileepkumar and others from House keeping Food - Eclectic & delectable. Kudos to Chef Mr. Sanjay Gupta, Mr. Sandeep, Mr. Sunilkumar, Mr. Abhishek, Mr. Jyothikishan et al. Roof top terrace - Good place to start/wind-down your day with a cup of coffee. Special thanks to Tiwari ji. We got to visit the main temples, had very good darshan, attended Ganga Arti, were introduced to a few good street food joints, and did a bit of shopping as well. Despite being our first time here, everything went like clockwork due to one person - Mr. Sanjay Sahani. He is a very genuine and no BS guy. Overall Mr. Pankaj Mahajan and his team made sure that we had a very pleasant stay. This place would definitely be my first choice, the next time I visit Varanasi.

I was in India for 18 days and the food here was probably the best I experienced in that time. They have 2 restaurants, but I believe they serve the same food and charge the same prices. I would definitely recommend visiting this restaurant if you are in Varanasi
Safarnama Varanasi
4.2/543 Reviews

Safarnama Varanasi

Varanasi|3.51km from city center
It is 6am and I have been awake all night with guests trooping in at all hours. The hotel has made a small common area on the first floor right outside our bedroom. Guests sat out and had no concept of this being night time - it was like sleeping on a railway platform. The noise from the street is no issue but the noise of other residents due to the smallness and the idea to create a sitting area right by the rooms made this a very tiring experience. Room was small and clean. Staff helpful. Location good enough. But not for us.

Hotel Surya, Kaiser Palace

Taj Nadesar Palace

Taj Nadesar Palace

Varanasi|2.52km from city center
While we stayed in ***y TAJ properties and carry very warm memories of TAJNESS from most of the properties but this property stays in our heart very closely for ***y reasons may be for our life time. 1) Rich legacy this property carries 2) Small & Unique property which we haven't seen by far 3) The suites are very large. In fact they are the largest which we seen till now 4) Most importantly the hospitality shown by each colleague was tremendous and didn't feel till now While every colleague has shown warmth and gave their best but to name few, 1) Rhimjhim- Right from the check in to see off she was there with us. Very Helpful and informative. She took care of our kids when we were out for temple DARSHAN, visits etc. 2) Venu- Very polite and attentive to each of our requirement, be it lunch, Dinner or breakfast-for that matter anything else 3) Vikas- While he is heading food & beverages for both the properties but he made sure that at least he touch based 1-2 times with us and enquired about our comfort. In fact 16th December is his Birthday but still he is at the job and enquiring about our well being. Hats off to his commitment levels 4) GM of the hotel- My apologies for not remembering his name but very kind and there for check in & out while he is busy As mentioned earlier, above are the few names which I mentioned here but otherwise every one was so attentive to our needs and helpful. I thank once again all my colleagues for their excellent hospitality and we will remember this stay for our life time. My kids were so nostalgic that they just wanted to be in Varanasi to stay in this property once again. Not sure whether we can make it in the near future but I'm sure they will definitely make it to this property once again when they grow up and will cherish their childhood memories.
Costa Riviera Hotel
4.3/540 Reviews

Costa Riviera Hotel

Varanasi|2.27km from city center
The hotel is cost-effective and the service is good, from the doorman to the rooms and restaurant. You can book cars and boats at the hotel, but it is more expensive than usual. The hotel is less than 4 kilometers from the river altar of the night festival, which requires a taxi. It is convenient to take a taxi. But Varanasi's road is really bad, and you must be mentally prepared.

Hotel le Lotus Grand

Varanasi|3km from city center
A quiet and comfortable hotel tucked in one of the busy main roads of Benaras. The hotel has a good location with multiple choices of public travel (Uber, Ola, local autos and e-rickshaws) to reach the temples, ghats and local shopping areas. The hotel has an elegant aura that makes you feel immediately welcomed with neat and spacious rooms. The staff are very efficient and polite and forthcoming to share local details when asked. Amongst the best things that will take me back again to the hotel on my next visit are the hotel's respect for guest's privacy and the excellent food at their restaurant.

Sugar Stars Inn

We sre two women travellers, and we felt 100% safe in this Hotel. The breakfast is VERY good, you have ***y plates to choose from. You have a fridge and coffee and tea, as much as you like in your room. The room is clean and VERY nice, what you expect in a good hotel. Our room was no.101, and it was silent, eventhough the hotel is on the main road. The shower is INCREDIBLE, it literally falls from the roof, and there is so much water it feels like a waterfall, JUST what you need after a sweaty day walking everywhere. TV has Netflix and You Tube, so you can watch anyhting you like. Now to the best part of the Hotel, the STAFF, I cannot explain how helfulnthey ALL are, you truly feel welcomed and they attend any need you might have, they go out of their way to help. The owner is also there to greet you on arrival, which is GREAT and appreciated, this letsbyou know that the owner is personally invested

Gostops Varanasi

Varanasi|3.28km from city center
Unusually for a cheap dormitory, it was thoroughly cleaned. Other than that, the facility itself is huge, and it seems that it will naturally become a place for backpackers to interact during the peak season. I wasn't expecting much since it was India and it was in Varanasi, but it was okay. I used it only for a shower and a nap and headed to Delhi on a night flight, but Varanasi is dirty and stinky with the Gandhi River, so it is recommended to use a cheap dormitory for shower use. If you enter the Gandhi River without planning a shower, you should definitely consider it an inpatient course.

Shri Guest House

Varanasi|0.09km from Dashashwamedh Ghat
After having originally opted for the basic deluxe double room., we found this to be small and so were shown the 'super room'. This was clean, spacious and cosy. The hot water and shower worked well and tooth paste was supplied after asking. The location is incredible for the price....entering the hotel will require a lot of hiking up narrow steel stair ways... but once you arrive you are right by the river for the evenings arti celebrations. It is about a 45 minute walk to a boat hire service. A 10 minute walk to the nearest road access so arrival during the day is advised. The owner is personable. funny and knoweldgable about local services. An incredible amount of work is done by Vishal who cooks amazing food. cleans and generally takes care of everything.

Varanasi a humid dirty chaotic rabbit warren of a city ....BUT STOP ... and look beyond all that and you will see hundreds of dragon flies and butterflies dancing on the air monkeys birds and chipmunks in tree and roof tops . Cows dogs and goats roam freely around the very narrow ( 6ft approx width) streets that are jam packed full of cafe shops restaurants guest houses and temples.Tired but beautiful architecture from centuries gone by . Wonderful temples and rituals being played out before you eyes . Markets of fresh fruit fish chickens and gifts . But the best of all is the warm welcome almost cosseted feeling you receive from every one . When you first arrive you may look in dismay and wonder why you came but when you leave you will be so glad you visited The Kedareswar B&B is a great place to stay Very welcoming .. they cannot do enough for you Right on the edge of a ghat and in the middle of everything but by 10pm all is quiet for the night Be sure to book a city walk with Vikesh and you won’t be disappointed The sunrise boat trip at 5.30 is worth getting up for and don’t forget the arti and the burning ghat a very interesting and moving experience Varanasi is really a magical place

I had booked this hotel for one AC room (two bed) for Rs 1500/- for two days in Mar 2021 for self and wife. Hotel is providing misleading information to the visitors/tourists in ***y ways. No vehicle, even auto or rickshaw can reach to the hotel. One need to disembark from vehicle and walk for almost 500 m to 800m with luggage to reach the hotel. The lanes are very narrow and full of animals, garbage and poo. For an outsider it is very surprising and unwelcome scene. There was no breakfast facility in the hotel as it was claimed at hotel site forget about its being complimentary one. They want complete booking money advance, that was happily given, so far so good. One night AC did not work. Complaint was made but no repair and no refund for non availability of AC facility, and no complaint register, and no regrets either. Exhaust fan of toilet was not working and electric shock was felt in water tap, due to improper earthing. They were just not ready to listen the complaint as they had already received the money. The room furniture was in pathetic condition. Not even a hanger in the room. On the top the behaviour of the staff was atrocious and abusive. I am sure they must have indulged in such behaviour with tourists in the past. Wish my taxi had not been waiting at nearby Godaulia, I would have called Police or visited Police station to sort out these thugs. Never had such a awful experience in life in a city where I had studied 40 years back. May be time has changed. No staff was wearing even masks even corona pandemic was on.

If you are going to pilgrimage, this is a good choice. It is close to places like Luyeyuan. You can take tutu for about 50 rubles. The hot water of the hotel also needs to be kept for a long time. I just went to find that the room quilt was used and did not replace it. I went to the front desk and asked for a clean change. The waiter said that the waiter on duty was wrong in the morning. The sheets are covered with some old ~

We sre two women travellers, and we felt 100% safe in this Hotel. The breakfast is VERY good, you have ***y plates to choose from. You have a fridge and coffee and tea, as much as you like in your room. The room is clean and VERY nice, what you expect in a good hotel. Our room was no.101, and it was silent, eventhough the hotel is on the main road. The shower is INCREDIBLE, it literally falls from the roof, and there is so much water it feels like a waterfall, JUST what you need after a sweaty day walking everywhere. TV has Netflix and You Tube, so you can watch anyhting you like. Now to the best part of the Hotel, the STAFF, I cannot explain how helfulnthey ALL are, you truly feel welcomed and they attend any need you might have, they go out of their way to help. The owner is also there to greet you on arrival, which is GREAT and appreciated, this letsbyou know that the owner is personally invested

More than 400 stays, the door and a row of groceries paved together, the street is bustling. The surrounding environment is just like the chaos in other comments. I didn't want to get off if I didn't use the hotel's car pick-up. The room is fairly new, the shower switch is quite new, it is not convenient to twist, the hard hand hurts. I read the previous comment that there is no hot water. When I first tried it, I did not have hot water. It was a little warm. I tried the water temperature in the morning, noon, afternoon, evening, evening, and late at night. It seems that there is only hot water in the middle of the night and in the morning, and it is hot to the hot. I estimate that it is possible that the hotel's boiler capacity is limited, and there is no hot water when the water is at its peak. One thing to be reminded is that this hotel is a vegetarian hotel. No matter whether it is breakfast or Chinese, there is no egg, not to mention the meat. I don't know how the breakfast photos were taken when someone commented on it. Anyway, the hotel waiter said that there are no eggs. The hotel also did not have wine, but the waiter said that he could quietly send me to the room. When the waiter cleaned the room, I took away my personal toothpaste toothbrush. I called the room service to protest and knew that the situation would directly hang my phone. Stayed in the hotel for 3 days and used the hotel's car 3 times (receiving and sending local traffic). The first two services were very good. The driver was not easy. In the crowded road, the left and right sides of the needle were fully displayed to show the Indian driver's superb driving. Level. The driver of the third car was haunted, chatting all the way, keeping the speed at 20 yards, all the way was overtaken by other cars, and looked at the messy environment outside, I shrank back the hand that wanted to push the door. Fortunately, I have plenty of time to go to the airport. For the hotel to the airport pick-up and drop-off is 1000 rupees, I see a comment saying that I want 1200 rupees, I don't know if I am a big bargain this time.

We traveled during Dev Deepavali (Karthik Purnima) when there is a very high rush in Varanasi. We traveled with parents and in laws and proximity to Dashashwamedh ghat was a must. We found this hotel while checking Google maps and booked directly with the hotel. The distance from the ghat would be less than 100 meters. We had food in the hotel and it was very good. They even provide non veg on special request. They can arrange boat rides and city tours, however, I would suggest everyone to check the prices independently before booking. One thing though, no cars are allowed post Gowdolia more, hence access from airport/station via car is limited to Gowdolia. From there, its either richshaw or on foot. The hotel was nice to send someone for pickup and he carried some of our luggage and guided us to the hotel. Overall, satisfied with the hospitality and would definitely recommend to people,

Must-Experience Uniqueness of Varanasi

Varanasi, also known as Banaras or Kashi, is a city that encapsulates the essence of spirituality, culture, and tradition. As one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world, it offers a unique experience that is sure to leave a lasting impression on any visitor.

One of the must-experience aspects of Varanasi is the mesmerizing Ganga Aarti ceremony held every evening at the Dashashwamedh Ghat. This spiritual ritual involves the offering of prayers to the sacred River Ganges, accompanied by the enchanting sound of bells, chants, and the flickering flames of the lamps. It is a truly awe-inspiring sight that showcases the deep-rooted religious beliefs of the city.

Another unique experience in Varanasi is taking a boat ride along the Ganges during sunrise or sunset. As you glide through the calm waters, you can witness the city come alive with the vibrant colors of the morning or evening sky. The ghats (steps leading to the river) dotted along the riverbank offer a glimpse into the daily lives of the locals, as they perform their rituals and ceremonies.
