"From my wife who stayed there: I'm missing this hotel and its lovely staff and the kindness with which they took care of my family and I during our stay there from July 25 th through August 2nd. I feel I have a home here. The family rooms are spacious but they don't have any sunlight and the bathroom hooks are very high for average height people like me. WiFi worked better at 207. At 407 it was not so great at times. The safe didn't work at 207. Other than these I have to say it was a...

Top Varanasi Hotel Reviews

BrijRama Palace, Varanasi - By the Ganges

8/10 Good

"It’s an old palace which they are trying to maintain. The best part is the location, on the banks of the holy Ganges. Unfortunately we could not enjoy the steps to walk down to the river as it was all under water. The room was small and was not worth the price. But the people and the services rendered were amazing. Food was good and nothing special. What makes it worth is the services of the staff."

Trilok Residency

10/10 Excellent

"I really can’t say enough good things about this hotel. Akash was genuinely one of the nicest and most helpful people I’ve met during my travels. As a solo traveler, I really appreciated how helpful and welcoming he was from the beginning I had a very early flight, and they went out of their way to pick me up when i arrived as i was lost lol and dropped me off in the middle of the night with no prior notice so I wouldn’t miss my flight. Which meant really so much to me they even upgraded my room for free, which was such a kind surprise. The room was perfect big, clean, comfortable, with nice hot water and the WiFi worked perfectly! Everything about my stay here was amazing i really appreciated how much they helped me as a solo traveler with anything i needed. They genuinely went above and beyond, and I always felt looked after. It honestly felt like family. Thank you so much to Akash and the whole team for making my stay in Varanasi such a great experience. I would 100% stay here again and recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Varanasi. You really can’t ask for better hospitality."

Avantika By The Ganges, IHCL Seleqtions

10/10 Excellent

"Property is just beside the bank of Ganges, very new well maintained but the only drawback i faced in this Savan month is not accessible by boat so need to walk through the narrow dirty lanes and crowded with 2 wheelers for around 800 mtr. Suggesting to put sign posting inside this lanes. Overall stay in the hotel was excellent."

HOTEL DOLPHIN GRAND

10/10 Excellent

"Really clean room & good shower with a functiong mixer tap unlike a lot of hotels in India. The housekeeping, reception, travel agency & food/beverage teams were all excellent. You could tell they were proud of working for the hotel. I would rate it as the best hotel in my 3 week stay in India."

Taj Nadesar Palace

10/10 Excellent

"The property lives up to its promise. What was a genuine 11/10 was the staff - they went over and above to ensure that my guests had a great stay from the minute they landed at the airport to the time they took off. Big shout out to Kaif who helped coordinate it all within minutes of booking. Great experience overall and a no brainer if you're looking to book a hotel in the city."

Dwivedi Hotels Sri Omkar Palace

8/10 Good

"Its was safe, family friendly and staff was exceptionally helpful to move around and support every way. Definitely recommend to other for a calm, blissful and peaceful stay. Neatness and water was an issue. The rooftop restaurant was good but missed to have the authentic Varanasi food."
