Top Varanasi Hotel Reviews

Taj Nadesar Palace

Varanasi

10/10 Excellent

The hotel isn't a"palace" in as much as the guest house for the palace somewhere else. Lots of heads of state stayed there. But its only ten rooms. SO it "feels" like a luxury bed and breakfast, not a "palace". There is nothing except the Ganges and the Hindu religious events. That's not a bad thing. Just be aware it is rural India. Its more of a destination for doing nothing and relaxing, than activities.

BrijRama Palace, Varanasi - By the Ganges

Varanasi

10/10 Excellent

Whether you are looking for a spiritual escape or mind and body relaxation, Brij Rama Palace is worth it. I took my mother and kids to the hotel to celebrate her 75th birthday. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and took really good care of us. Don’t miss the spa treatments if you happen to stay here. Thank you Brij Rama associates for making this one of the best holidays I ever had.

Varanasi

10/10 Excellent

I stayed at SadaShiv guest house in May for about a week. The guesthouse is top notch. It is very clean and very well taken care of by the staff. They were always available for help and the quality was 5 stars. The room was very clean and comfortable. Vishal, who was the staff, was the most exceptional member of the staff. He was very helpful at each step and everyday. I appreciate the kindness and the hospitality of everyone here. I would definitely recommend this place to friends.
