Top Varanasi Hotel Reviews

Taj Ganges, Varanasi

10/10 Excellent

"It is a very well kept and maintained property and the staff is very friendly. Very happy with the top class hospitality."

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."
