This location is truly amazing; the building is reminiscent of a bygone era and is situated adjacent to the Ganges River. It was my second visit to this hotel in my last two consecutive trips to Varanasi; this itself speaks volumes.  In light of our group of eight individuals, ages 12 to 80, from the UK, USA, and India, Mr. Uday's team was fabulous, very kind, considerate, and welcoming. I came with my entire family. The hotel room with a Ganga view is amazing; the rooms were clean and tidy, the breakfast was great, and the in-house restaurant was very nice. The whole experience was great. Thank you, Mr. Uday and the team.

Breakfast was fine, I have had better. there wasn't selection of fruit juices and I do not think it was freshly squeezed. You were offered the drink by waiter. Poor selection of fresh fruit not cut up. No apples. Location great on the ghats but access difficult. Hotel said when I left that on arrival they would have sent porter to collect luggage but I was not informed prior to arrival. My guide dragged my luggage over the difficult terrain not good for the suitcase.

Knowledge of activities offered by hotel. I only found out about the hotel boat because guide enquired at desk. There might have been other activities in the hotel. I saw various people having drinks in the courtyard which seemed like a drinks reception.

Breakfast was good Location was good But inexorbitant pricing. So not Value for Money

Our stay could not have been better-this hotel is a true gem by the Ganges! From the moment we arrived by boat, the team made us feel incredibly welcome. The location is absolutely perfect, offering superb views of the river and easy access to all the local attractions, This hotel thought of everything to make our stay unforgettable. On our first evening, we were lucky enough to witness one of the mesmerizing night ceremonies, an experience made even more special by the seamless arrangements from the hotel, returning afterward for dinner felt like the perfect end to the day The room was spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and free from any issues, providing a great escape from the chaos of horns and traffic outside. Once inside, it felt like a tranquil haven, ans was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploration, Thankyou team, you really made us feel special.

Excellent service, great food, friendly staff and best of all the location. Very convenient to get to the ghats/river.

Great locations with comfortable beds and friendly helpful staff

Location was fabulous. On the ghat with a private entrance to the ghat steps . Walking distance from Assi Ghat , Sankat Mochan temple . We even walked along the ghats to Kashivishwanath temple and Manikarnika Ghat . Staff was extremely polite and well behaved. Property was kept meticulously clean

No balconies to the rooms . Ganga facing rooms also had a very small window. Pillows in the room were hard and impossibly thick which made sleep uncomfortable.

Located by the Ganges on the Ghat as described and best accessed by boat. The ghats are unkempt and water/ air was more polluted than we expected. The hotel is small with roughly 15 rooms, restaurant on site has good vegetarian food. They have evening tea and free evening boat ride to the Aarti. They also have classical music performers every evening. The staff is plentiful and mostly courteous.

Access to the hotel can be very problematic for elderly guests.

The location was excellent. Staff well trained. Food was very good. I really enjoyed my stay at the property. Well worth the money. We enjoyed our stay and the property is so close to the Ghats.

The only minus is that your car can't come to the property but the staff will pick you up and will bring you to the property. My luggage was a little heavy so I felt a little bad as the staff had to carry my heavy luggage all the way in.

Boutique property of the Royal Nepali family has been converted into a beautiful hotel. The hotel is located at the Shivalaya Ghat and has a private steps leading to the Holy Ganga. The courtyard is well situated. The best part of our stay was the staff of the hotel. Courteous, helpful and always welcoming. The food is also amazing. This is a gem of a find. If your purpose is to go to the temples, ask for Sanjay. The hotel guide is awesome and will arrange for everything including wheelchair access should your party need one.

WiFi is definitely an issue.
