Guest Reviews

• Rajesh (10/5): Nice, enjoyable stay! - Great heritage property, located on the banks of Ganges. But if you have elders with you, don’t book this as there are 20-25 steps to be taken to reach the river bank to take a boat. By the way, getting around is mainly by boats operated by the Hotel… free of cost but with some wait time. Getting around could be a bit of an issue if boats don’t operate due to weather or other issues. Happened to me as there was a storm and a boatmen strike (yes! happens in India)…
• Eduardo (5/5): - The location is incredible but the property is quite run down. Very run down for the price. I understand is an old building but even mattresses, sheets ans tvs are quite old. I understand is the second best option in varanasi but it really isn’t worth the same money that other similarly prices hotel in touristy locations in India
• Daya (10/5): -
• Sogo (9/5): 最高のロケーションとサービス - ロケーションとサービス。川沿いで綺麗で、ボートのサービスも有り難かった。 タクシーで直接行けない点。その分、ボートで乗り入れるサービスあり、その点は良かった。
• KUMAR (10/5): -
• Dawn (8/5): -
• Claudio (8/5): - Posizione pazzesca e bellezza della struttura La pulizia non è il massimo per un albergo di tale rango
• Manju (10/5): -
• trina (9/5): Great hotel marred by untrained staff - The hotel has a great location and has a beautiful aspect on the Ganges. One of the only hotels that look out over the river and is authentic but modern The staff were sullen, unhelpful, untrained and disorganized. Very unusual in this kind of Property and in India!
• Tony Bansal (4/5): Not worth - Location but better options r also available Over priced Over hipped Nothing was good Rooms r small n bad
• Soma (8/5): - Location Price vs quality of property maintenance does not match
• Nodoka (8/5): -
• Guillermo (4/5): Dishonest hotel!!! - Location is great.. Food is also great I went in August Monsoon season. I had asked the hotel and they said that it was ok the river was going down.. a good hotel would have said or recommended to visit at a later stage.. Its rained and it was not enjoyable. When I asked if the could refund 2 out of the 5 nights they refused.. Im bnoever going back.. Lack of information.. I could have done something else.

• Evita60 (8/5): Soggiorno sul Gange a Varanasi - Ottimo boutique hotel sul Gange buono il servizio di ristorazione molto curato nei dettagli con sala lettura e sala di meditazione La temperatura della camera era un po bassa e avevano rimediato con 1 stufetta che non funzionava bene. La colazione prevalentemente orientale
• dominik (6/5): Overpriced - We booked a superior room. To reach the hotel you need to take a boat transfer. This didn’t work and we were left waiting in the dark in a shady area. The person who tried to manage the situation was tense und little welcoming. Nobody informed us what the problem was. Finally after checking into the hotel, we were given a room with molding areas. In front of the windows were arabesque stone grids that felt like prison bars. After complaining, we were upgraded to a beautiful rim on the top floor, which was very pleasant. Bad reception, don’t book a superior room, it might be low level humid and overpriced.
• Angelo Alfonso Maria (9/5): - La posizione i servizi il personale Il rapporto qualità prezzo

• Drew (10/5): - The location of this hotel is phenomenal. One of the highlights of our trip was arriving by boat, along the Ganges, to the steps of this hotel. The staff was so welcoming and warm and made sure we were taken care of. They even accommodated our early arrival, allowing us to enjoy a nice breakfast at the restaurant before taking us to our room early. The building itself is beautiful and historic, and decorated tastefully. Our room was also exceptional - it had a lovely view of the river, the room was spacious and clean, and the bathroom was well appointed. After a long day of wandering Varanasi, it was heavenly to come back to the hotel and have high tea on the terrace. Dinner was delicious as well. By far one of the nicest stays we experienced in India. The only minor issue we had, was that the woman behind the front desk when we first arrived was so lovely, she set the bar high for our expectations. The man behind the desk in the evening was not as warm.
• Sunil (8/5): -
• scott (10/5): It’s the second time I’ve stayed at this hotel and I think it it is a great choice - Fabulous building Fuller character in a great location with excellent staff Nothing
• Sally (5/5): Really disappointing - the view was amazing right on a ghat on the Ganges and having a fleet of boats to take you into town - at a cost- was special Where to start!! really small rooms that you have to climb over each other to get to the bathroom, buffet breakfast was tired and really ordinary - menu service would have been a better option and more standard in India - you need to pay for water - the complimentary bar is soft drink only and only for one day - the location also is a real problem - hence boats - you can't get in or out of the place without a 15min walk. Next time i would stay around Assi Ghat
• Jay (8/5): - Staff are very good with service . Location is the best. There are a little bit hard to access to the hotel.
• Fran (5/5): A peaceful base with genuinely helpful staff, but the lack of cleanliness, tired facilities, and poor dining experience - The staff were very helpful, polite, and tried their best to assist whenever needed. It was a quiet place to retreat from the intensity and constant activity of Varanasi. - The cleanliness of the hotel was poor, it looked superficially clean but there was clear built-up grime both in the room and in the public areas. There was a distinct lack of care or attention to detail. -The whole property felt tired and not well maintained. -The downstairs restaurant was extremely strange: it mostly served western fried food like pizzas, chips, and sandwiches, and the sandwiches we tried were not edible. -For a hotel priced at over £200 per night, it did not feel like good value for money.
• Kai (8/5): -
• Christophe (9/5): Superbe - Très bel établissement, au cœur de la vieille ville. Très bon accueil. Un peu cher quand même, mais pas d'équivalent dans les environs.
• Martin (3/5): Very expensive average experience. - Property is tired. The dining room is like a doctors waiting room. Food very average. Very very expensive All the above
• Jyoti (8/5): To get the feel of Varanasi, one needs to stay near the ghats. - Located at the ghat at walking distance from Kashi Vishwanath temple. Awesome view of Ganges. Haveli style. Loved everything about property.
• Hitoki (10/5): -
• anita (10/5): - Property was amazing. Food was good. Staff was very accommodating. Entry to the hotel was through winding lanes of banaras. Walk to the property was exhausting when you just want to crash. Later it becomes fun though. It was because of floods we were told.
• michele (8/5): VARANASI ON THE RIVER - La posizione è unica, i begli hotel in Varanasi che si affacciano sul Gange si contano sulle dita. Vista mozzafiato e atmosfera molto caratteristica. La struttura è affascinante. La sera nella sala-tempio c'è un ragazzo che canta e suona che è veramente bravissimo e svolta la serata in hotel: oltre al piacere di ascoltarlo ti immerge totalmente in un mood indiano-spirituale. L'accoglienza e il dono quando si arrivo. La disponibilità del manager riguardo alla prenotazione. Personale gentile e disponibile. Purtroppo nei nostri giorni ( agosto ) il Gange è stato molto alto e rende impossibile godere appieno della struttura, camminare sulle rive del fiume per spostarsi in centro e arrivare comodamente in hotel con la barca. Per arrivare e spostarsi bisogna fare le strade interne, tanto affascinanti quanto difficile da orientarsi. Il personale del ristorante: avevamo una stanza sotto la terrazza del ristorante e sia la sera dopo cena ( e passi ) che la mattina alle 6, spostano tutti i tavolini e sedie, non alzandoli ma trascinandoli facendo forte rumore. L'aria condizionata punta sul letto e non si può regolare la direzione.
• Andrew (2/5): Very Disappointing & misrepresented on many levels - The position of the property was great. The river was flooded, so it was a 15/20 minute walk through small alleyways where you could easily get lost. The pictures shown were manipulated to make the hotel appear larger and in a much better light than it actually was. No alcohol was served, banned, or sold. (Not mentioned). Overall, very disappointed, there are many better hotels elsewhere for the money.
• Alba (7/5): - La ubicacion El personal no fue demasiado simpatico ni facilitador con algunas cosas que les pedimos por favor. Habiamos reservado una habitacion especifica y nos dieron la que les dio la gana, de peor calidad. Y encima cuando se lo dijimos, no nos dieron solucion. Demasiado caro para el servicio y trato que dan.
• Edward John (8/5): Top - De ligging Internet verbinding niet stabiel
• Giuliamarelli (9/5): -
• Alejandra (3/5): De todo menos agradable, aqui el dharma es un timo - La ubicación, las vistas y el hecho de que fuera un edificio histórico. Calidad/precio terrible, booking no debería atreverse a calificarlo hotel de 4 estrellas, es un insulto en comparación con otros hoteles 4 o 5 estrellas de Varanasi. El edificio es viejo, cutre y no informan con suficiente antelación sobre el estado del acceso al hotel, es decir la entrada al hotel y sus alrededores durante el monzón, en mi caso en agosto. Tampoco dan opción a cancelar la reserva, debes ir obligada pese a lo desagradable de la estancia durante las intensas lluvias. El rio Ganges crece, inunda los ghats, es insalubre y desagradable considerando también el intenso calor y el mal estado de los gullis (calles características de la ciudad vieja). Ademas de todo esto nos obligaron a pagar el total de la reserva + 53€ de cargos adicionales no justificados durante el check in, claro, por si huíamos despavoridas.
• Juliet (9/5): - A fantastic hotel right on the banks of the Ganges. The rooms are large with great views, good supply of complimentary refreshments, powerful showers and comfortable beds. All spotlessly clean. The hotel is really peaceful, with plenty of outside sitting areas, to relax and take in the view. The staff are all very helpful and friendly and we received a lovely welcome into the hotel. We were able to check in very early and keep our room until 1pm on day of departure. Unfortunately the Ganges was flooded so we couldn't arrive by boat, but the hotel porters came to meet us and guide us through the lanes. The hotel is relatively expensive compared to other similar ones across India that we stayed in, but that is Varanasi, everything costs a bit more.
• SUBRATA (10/5): -
• lavinia (5/5): Not Worth the Price Paid - The hotel itself, although old, has a certain charm and offers a beautiful view of the river. The staff, overall, was reasonably friendly, and breakfast was average. My stay was during the rainy season, which may have contributed to some of the downsides, but even so, considering the price we paid, the property is simply not worth it. The rooms and all common areas are in urgent need of a refresh and renovation. The hotel itself has great potential, being located right on the river with a beautiful view, but unfortunately, we left far from satisfied. Our room was long, narrow, and oddly arranged, with all the windows facing common areas, meaning we couldn’t even open the curtains for privacy. On our second day, we were woken up at 9 a.m. by extremely loud music blasting from speakers placed right next to our room. On top of that, we received far too many phone calls from the reception during our stay — including one at 10 p.m., just as we were about to fall asleep, asking if we would be dining at the property, and another the following morning at 9:10 a.m (we were sleeping) to ask if we would be having breakfast. We found this level of intrusion inappropriate. We also felt rather uncomfortable on-site, as there were many local people either working on renovations or simply hanging around, and it made us feel out of place. The property is located about a 20-minute walk from the point where taxis can drop you off — something that should be clearly communicated at the time of booking — meaning a long walk every time you want to go anywhere. If we had paid half the price, my review would likely be different. However, given the very high cost, we were absolutely not satisfied with our stay
• Sarah (3/5): 갠지스강만 볼거면 1박정도면 충분한곳... - 방은 매우 깔끔하게 정돈되어 있고 호텔이 아기자기 하다고 해야되나? 직원들도 대부분 친절함 갠지스강을 편하게 보려고 선택했는데 이게 독이었음.. 가는길이 매우 어렵고 좁고 길에 소,염소,개, 사람 똥오줌이 널려있음.. 직원들없으면 들어가지도 못함.. 바닥만 보고 다녀야됨. 호텔은 18세기 지어진 역사적인 저택을 복원한 건축물이라고 나와서 기대했는데 주변이 정돈이 안되어있음.. 입구도 개구멍만한... 우기여서 비가 많이와서 강 레벨이 높아져서 그런지몰라도 일단 우리가 갔을때는 별로였음. 조식포함 예약했는데 3박에 100만원 넘게 냈는데 조식메뉴에 흔한 베이컨도 없고 그냥 먹을게 아예없음.. 계란이라도 구워주나 싶어서 물어보니 그것도 없음...그야말로 그냥 갠지스강뷰 끝. 인도물가치고 너무 비쌈..
• Mariusz (8/5): - Bardzo fajne miejsce
• Colomba (10/5): Agradable conforme - Buen ubicada, hermoso, personal muy amable Muy limpio todo Tiene incluido el bote de namo ghat hasta el Hotel La comida del restaurante muy buena! Buffet del desayuno no tenia mucha variedad para escoger y un dia no habia buffet y era como a la Carta muy limitado El check out es a las 12:00 y nosotros nos tomamos con calma el horario de salida, dimos aviso el día previo que lo haríamos a las 12:00 en punto y pues ese dia nos llamaron al menos 2 veces en la mañana para preguntarnos a que hora haciamos el check out, lo que fue un poco hostigoso ya que estabamos aprovechando de descansar
• Shanjutha (5/5): We were very disappointed with the hotel! - The location The triple bedroom was small and dingy. The bathroom was leaking and water was coming through the doors into the bedroom due to the rain. The staff was excellent however. Couldn’t fault them!
• Fabio (10/5): -
• Divyanjali (10/5): -
• Ramachandra Deepak (9/5): Overall nice - Overall worth it but little overpriced Staff Babita at the breakfast has the most unpleasant facial expression and didn’t give us privacy to enjoy our breakfast . She kept hovering over us for the whole time we had breakfast.
• sourabh (10/5): -
• Viola (10/5): Bellissima esperienza - Struttura bellissima, stanza pulita, ordinata e silenziosa, con una vista bellissima sul Gange.
• Julia (10/5): Muy bien! - Todo . Servicio
• Saha (9/5): -
• Watanabe (8/5): -
• Albert (8/5): Hotel miy bien ubicado con un bonito restaurante y personal amable . Salvo la ducha - La ubicación delante del Ganges excepcional. La habitacion bien decorada y equipada. Se encuentra a faltar mampara en la ducha. Cada vez que te duchabas el baño quedaba inhundado
• Maria Grazia (10/5): - The position and the boat service !! uaoo
• Christina (8/5): Nice stay in Varanasi, centrally located and nice food at roof terrace. - Very polite stuff, nice stay and the restaurant on the roof terrace was great.
• hogehoge2929 (8/5): ガンジス河の眺めが印象的な一等地 - ガンジス河沿いの超一等地のロケーション、舟での送迎も印象的 建物は伝統的なインド風ながら、綺麗に手入れされています 4階の部屋からもガンジス川が見えますし、テラスからの風景は言わずもがな。夜景も素敵です 1階のカフェも雰囲気いいですね。他にはないからカフェだけ来てもいいと思います 送迎の問い合わせの反応が鈍く、2つの違った番号からレスがあったりで非効率。問い合わせした値段はチェックアウトするまで分からず。片道1600だったので、結果的には悪くない価格でした 近くでは全くお酒は飲めませんが、聖地なので我慢しましょう。どうしてもという方は新市街に泊まるしかないです
• KEITA (8/5): -
• MARCO (8/5): - Buona pozione e ottima vista sul Gange. Struttura molto datata: peccato.
• Carl (10/5): Bezaubernd! - Außergewöhnliche Lage direkt am Ganges... zu jeder Tages und Nachtzeit traumhafter Blick und Stimmung
• Bhaskar (9/5): -
• Mudita (9/5): -
• Ashmita (9/5): Jai Ganga Maiya - The location was breath taking. The staff was very efficient and couterous. The food was good. The only catch is the stairs. They are a killer. Anybody with knee issues should avoid. A suggestion to the hotel,get some scooties for pickup frpm the road entrance. The final set of stairs is unavoidable. If a solution to the stairs can be found,it would make commute easier.
• amit (8/5): It was a pleasing experience for us. - Beautiful location and wonderful members of staff.
• Prasanth (1/5): Not suitable for family with aged parents - Only location Not a value for money hotel. Not suitable for aged parents. Quality check of rooms are not done before guest arrival.
• norbert (8/5): Hotel Boutique front Ganga with excellent services. - Exceptional situation and services. Front the river Ganga. Small bathroom.
• Watanabe (10/5): -
• Ford (10/5): - The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel and location were perfect. Nothing
• OSCAR (7/5): Perfecta ubicacion - La ubicacion y el estilo
• Thierry (6/5): Un hôtel très bien situé avec belle terrasse - La situation et la terrasse avec vue. La décoration des parties communes. Quelques gratuités dans la chambre (biscuits, chips, thé et café...) La décoration des chambres est à revoir ainsi que celle du restaurant. Dommage. Il faudrait aussi donner un coup de fraîcheur aux salles de bains. Le personnel à la réception n'est pas très efficace, peu aimable et pas très souriant. Les réponses par mail sont longues. La gestion des transfers doit se payer en cash (c'est le jeu) ..... Le restaurant n'est pas terrible. Il faudrait plus de fruits frais différents (marre des pastèque, papaye, banane et ananas comme partout!) au petit-déjeuner. Personnel du restaurant à former. Hygiène moyen moyen.
• PAUL (10/5): Great location overlooking the Ganges - Great location overlooking the Ganges. Staff couldn’t be more helpful. As access and egress from the property was mostly by boat it was a bit limiting.
• Riccardo (10/5): Margens do Rio Gangues!!! Excelente!!! - Localização imbatível às margens do Rio Gangues. Diversos salgados e doces gratuitos na chegada, bem como água mineral todos os dias. Recebemos um atendimento ótimo de todos os funcionários, com destaque para a gerente e o atendente Vasim’ Recomendamos demais!!! Tudo excelente, só poderiam descrever melhor o ponto de encontro do barco que te levará ao hotel.
• Rajiv (4/5): - Ok place high price
• Wan (9/5): Magical stay in a beautiful heritage hotel next to the Ghats with waterside views - Arriving to Guleria Kothi by their own boats was a magical experience to start with! As you leave the boat you are greeted with the sight of this beautiful heritage hotel next to one of the ghats with a fantastic waterside view. On arrival at the reception we were given beautiful silk scarves as a welcome gift. Our room had a view of the river and the quay side. Breakfast was on the rooftop with views of the ghat besides us, to the spired roofscape and the river below with boats going up and down the river. In front of the hotel was the cafe where we drank chai and watched the world going by. Nothing
• Janio (8/5): A localização é espetacular na beira do Rio Ganges, bem no centro da cidade, próximo a todos os pontos turísticos, o hot - Acomodação simples, mas limpa Dos colchões, muito duro
• Jean Baptiste (4/5): Très mauvais rapport qualité prix - L'emplacement de l'établissement est remarquable, l'établissement est très beau avec une décoration intérieure des parties communes en parfaite harmonie avec le bâtiment. Le personnel est aimable. Le prix de l'hébergement n'est pas du tout en rapport avec la qualité de la prestation: Une tache sur le drap (inacceptable) toujours présente le lendemain = les draps n'ont pas été changés Les murs de la chambre sont couvert de taches d'humidité Les coins de la douche sont noir de champignons La chambre n'est pas équipé d'un sytème de régulation de chauffage, et le radiateur fournie a une intensité lumineuse très forte (vous dormez dans une chambre éclairée comme en plein jour ..) Le restaurant n'est pas a la hauteur de l'établissement, que ce soit le menu, la decoration de la salle que le service du personnel peu professionnel.
• MASAYA (8/5): - ガンジス河畔でロケーション抜群。かつホテル内は静かででくつろげる雰囲気。
• Veena (8/5): -
• abhishek (10/5): - It was very pleasant and the staff was very polite.
• Steve (10/5): An experience not to be missed and met lovely people - Location and staff excellent Little things like tea should be tea leaves and a pot not typhoo bags Better cafe snacks if possible
• grantica (9/5): Staying on a historical ghat overlooking the Ganges - This was really one of the highlights of our trip to India. First a really special start of our stay, as you arrive by boat on a holy river to the hotel. The reception is exceptional and extremely welcoming, attending to all our requests from start till finish. The whole hotel is beautifully restored with a courtyard in the middle, with a temple for some spiritual time, to benches and books for a peaceful reading break. On top floor is a restaurant with exceptionally good food. The hotel overlooks the river banks and that means you are gifted with amazing throughout the day, with morning and evening being exceptional. Really extraordinary. We got so many amenities in our room, the room stuff was also above and beyond. They offer the visit of the evening prayer where all of the boats gather on the Ganges to meet. Overall an extraordinary experience The location is a gift and course and the same time :) The hotel is located along the river Ganges on one of the Ghats, which makes it incredible. But it is at the same time really inconvenient to go for a walk to the city or to go for dinner as everything is located further from the hotel. But to be fair, nothing the hotel can do about it, just important to know.
• Anirban (8/5): -
• Mukherji (8/5): -
• Tomas (9/5): Fantastic location to experience holy and mysterious atmosphere of Varanasi. - Fantastic location right on the bank of river Ganga, easy to reach Vishwanath temple and experience the ghats. The hotel itself deserves refurbishment, but it has kind of mysterious atmosphere of old palace and together with the location it is one of the best hotels to experience holy atmosphere of Varanasi. AC would deserve cleaning/disinfection.
• Turf (5/5): Great people. Need to up their game - Food and service Room size, no internet and no lift (4th floor)
• Dr. Werner (9/5): Jederzeit wieder wegen der Lage und den Terrassen. - Sensationelle Lage an den Ghats und Nahe der Altstadt. Transfer ist ratsam, da das Hotel nur per Boot erreichbar ist. Der Fahrer fährt einen bis zum Bootsanleger und organisiert alles. Schönes Frühstückslokal, Rooftop mit Terrasse. Das Cafe unten hat die beste Terrasse von Varanasi, direkt am Ghat. Die Zimmer mit Blick auf den Ganges haben Fenster durch die man kaum etwas sieht. Geöffnet kann man sie nicht lassen, weil sonst die Affen ins Zimmer kommen.
• sanjoy (8/5): Beautiful , clean, and comfortable hotel with character right on the Ganges on the Ganges - The food was excellent, and the location on the river was exceptional
• Cindy (6/5): Nice staff and comfy room - Nice room and friendly staff. Location would have been good if Ganges wasn’t flooded. Meals were nice. We were not warned that there would be ongoing renovations during our stay. Could be noisy at times. Restaurant was closed, so could only eat in our room and there were not many choices to eat out nearby.
• Gaurav (10/5): -
• 森田 (9/5): -
• Herre (6/5): Hotel was prima maar iets te duur voor wat je krijgt. Het heeft wel potentie - De ligging De ligging is mooi maar wel in een oude (vieze) omgeving. Dan moet het personeel daar goed op inspelen. Zeker als je hoge prijzen vraagt. Ze moeten nog wel wat leren.
• Stephen (5/5): Good apart from the tour guide - The hotel is very nice The staff and very friendly and efficient They supplied us with a tour guide from the hotel, who took us to a fake priest who tried to pressure us into making donations of hundreds of pounds. They were very forceful and unpleasant and it ruined our experience
• Jimenez (5/5): - La habitacion estaba ok. Dado el aumento el caudal del río, hubo que entrar y salir por la ciudad vieja, lo que es un verdadero asco. En esas condicio es, el hotel no debería operar y debería avisar con anticipación. Nos comentaron que se inundó 3 a 4 dias antes de nuestra llegada, día en que debieron avisarnos y darnos la.opción de cancelar, lo que no se hizo. Solo comimos y almorzamos en el hotel y los dos nos enfermamos del estómago. Algo no anda bien con la higiene. El personal fue amable, pero no están muy capacitados para recibir turistas no hindúes.
• Nimmi (10/5): Trip I will always cherish - Beautiful location excellent service amazing views will be back fabulous view of the Ganges boat takes you morning and evening for Ganga Aarti which is most.
• Claudia (10/5): - Beautiful place. It’s far you either need a boat ride or a very long walk from the main avenue about 20 mins
• Rajiv Bansal (8/5): -
• Madhu (10/5): -
• Gareth (10/5): Perfect - Hands down the best decision I made on my trip was to stay here. The staff were amazing, the location cannot be beat, the food is great, the rooms are great. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else when I come back to Varanasi Nothing.
