Radisson Hotel Varanasi

Radisson Hotel Varanasi

📍 RH Tower, Varanasi cantonment, Varanasi
★★★★ 8.8 (66 reviews)

"Staying at the Radisson Hotel Varanasi was an absolutely wonderful experience, offering a perfect blend of modern luxury and genuine warmth right in the heart of the historic city. The rooms are incredibly spacious, spotlessly clean, and well-appointed with excellent amenities, ensuring a highly comfortable and restful stay. What truly sets this property apart is the impeccable hospitality; the entire staff is exceptionally courteous, attentive with a welcoming smile. Featuring a rich, diverse buffet breakfast spread and delicious dining choices. We are from Bangkok, felt the same hospitality as my country offers there. Visiting for spiritual discovery and leisure, this hotel provides a top-notch, reliable, and deeply pleasant home away from home that I would highly recommend to anyone traveling to Varanasi."

Hotel Aviral Ganga

Hotel Aviral Ganga

📍 murari chowk, Shantipuram Colony, Samne Ghat, Varanasi
★★★★ 9.6 (45 reviews)

"My stay at Aviral Ganga, Varanasi was truly memorable. The biggest highlight is the stunning Ganga-facing view from the room and rooftop. Watching the sunrise over the Ganga with a view of Ramnagar Fort was an unforgettable experience. The rooms are spacious, clean, well-maintained, and equipped with all modern amenities, making the stay both luxurious and comfortable. The staff is extremely humble, welcoming, and always ready to help. From the warm traditional welcome to the smooth check-out, the hospitality was excellent. The in-house restaurant serves good food, and the breakfast was enjoyable. Having personal parking in Varanasi is a huge advantage, and the option to arrive by boat through the Ganga makes the experience even more unique. If you’re looking for a peaceful, comfortable, and Ganga-facing stay in Varanasi, I would definitely recommend Aviral Ganga. It made my Banaras trip even more special."

"Terrible check in experience that I had in my life, arrived at 3.30 pm and there is no room for us to check in. And ask us to wait there more than 1 hours. When we enter to the room, the toilet bowl is full with urine stain and room curtain was dropping and half hanging. Bed sheet, pillowand blanket full with stain."

Guleria Kothi at Ganges Hotels in Varanasi

Guleria Kothi at Ganges

"I have few word of mouth, so I will leave word of mouth as much as possible. 【Stand】 I think it's the best location for those who come for the Ganges River. Drive to Namo Ghat to the hotel, then transfer to the hotel boat and move to the hotel. For me, it was a very good experience to get on the boat without negotiating. ※ I think I can go to Namo Ghat even in Uber, but I was worried, so I applied for a round-trip hotel pick-up service. (It was one way 1800INR by Small Taxi.) Because it is along the Ganges River, Uber, including Rikisha, cannot be dispatched and only "walking" means of transportation. I went there during the hot season, so it was very difficult to walk on a narrow and intricate road in the crowds, and I couldn't explore other than along the river. I didn't ask the hotel staff, so maybe there was a means of transportation other than "walking". Ganga Aarti Ganga Artie, which I was the first purpose of my trip, will book a seat if you ask the hotel. (※ Free) We will take a hotel boat to the venue. It's not crowded and the hotel staff will take you, so you can appreciate it with peace of mind without meeting the troublesome bargaining. 【Food】 The room was prohibited from eating what was brought in and the hotel rules stated. I wanted to eat what I brought in for peace of mind, but I gave up and ate dinner at the hotel restaurant. There are few types of breakfast buffets, but there were Indian dishes, and there were Western dishes such as bread, and the omelet was prepared. In addition, the hotel does not sell alcohol including restaurants. I drank the alcohol I brought in. Bringing in drinks seems OK. 【Equipment】 and the good thing is There was no locust in the room. There were amenities such as shampoo and toothbrush Water and juice were prepared for free. i'm sorry. The air conditioner smelled a little moldy As a sense of Asians, the water smelled (I think it's a regional problem rather than a hotel) Hospitality The hotel was very kind and caring and very helpful. I think that WhatsApp will make your stay more comfortable. As a general comment, it was a very good hotel, so I would like to stay again if I visit Baranashi. Nice hotel."

Hotel Dolphin International Hotels in Varanasi

Hotel Dolphin International

"Varanasi is very noisy, but I requested a room further away from the front of the hotel and it worked. The fact that room was divided in two parts (before entering the main bedroom there was sort of a small private little room with a couch) also helped to give it sound proofing (from the interior hotel sounds). Anyway, this was the best feature of the hotel for me, ***** with the bathroom, which was pretty big and had a nice shower. Before coming to this hotel spent a few days in a different hotel, on Luxa rd., which was closer to the location I was going to the most: Dashashwamedh Ghat. The Dolphin hotel wasn't as near, and the streets around it weren't friendly to walk on, so while I was there I had to resort to using Tuc Tuc's all the time. What else? The Dolphin hotel is simple, the staff was friendly enough, and its restaurant (and breakfast) was nothing to brag about. (Food wise, I kept using Cafe 1916, the restaurant at Luxa Rd. that became my go-to place in Varanasi, for breakfast, lunch and often dinner. Good food, not too spicy, good price; it was suggested to me by a GuruWalk guide."

Varuna Palace Homestay Hotels in Varanasi

Varuna Palace Homestay

"Prem and Anita made us feel very welcome and at home. Every morning they prepared breakfast for us in their own living room. Prem also took us on a guided tour around the old city and the ghats. He knows the place very well and is fun to spend time with. He showed us every nook and cranny that the city has to offer, many such places are not even listed in the guidebook and everything we saw was accompanied with an explanation or story. We normally don't hire guides, but in this case we highly recommend it, since as a foreigner you don't know the rules, the customs and the possibilities at such a place of special religious significance as Varanasi. You won't regret it!"

Gostops Lite Varanasi ★★★
"I’m a solo traveler who has been to many different places in India, and I can highly recommend this hostel for your next stay. The staff here is very helpful with everything you need. The rooms are very nice, and the air conditioning works properly. The bathroom in our room was cleaned by the staff every day. I enjoyed the food here so much that I ate here every day. The hostel also has an app through which you can order food and beverages and open the door to your room. I liked it so much that I’ve also booked stays in Rishikesh and Jaipur with the same brand, as I hope they are just as good as this one in Varanasi."
