Top Varanasi Hotel Reviews

Country Inn Varanasi

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, fair walking distance to the river, walking distance to KFC. Fair distance also to ISBT and Varanasi Junction. Lots of rickshaws avail everywhere. Wifi is excellent, room noise isolation is excellent, breakfast is pretty nice lots of choice (although no meat available at all), shower is very nice also, front staff excellent and they go beyond and above to help you with your questions and travel needs. Special thanks to Krishan, Shubham and Rishi, who really helped me above and beyond with my transfer to Bodh Gaya yesterday. Amazing. If I was to come back to Varanasi I would probably stay here again,"

Hotel Ganges Grand

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommended. The property is only 500 metres from the temple. Nice, clean and friendly staff."

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."

Ekam Kashi

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at Ekam Kashi for three days and had a great experience. Archana at the front desk was very helpful and welcoming. The kitchen, Jathragani, served excellent food, especially the dinner thali. The restaurant staff, Neha, Lucky, and Akash, were warm and made us feel like family. The location is a big plus."

Hotel Ananda Kashi

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable, nice hotel with a great restaurant, I highly recommend"
