Hotel Alka

"The location is perfect as it is located ***** the Ganges River! You can see the Ganges River from the attached restaurant, and the food there was delicious! However, since it is located ***** the Ganges River, you cannot reach the hotel by rickshaw or taxi, so you will have to walk for a few minutes, but the journey is also exciting! The problem was that there were a lot of small insects like mosquitoes (?) in the room, but I was given an insect repellent machine at the reception."

Hotel Shanti Guest House Varanasi

Ganpati Guest House

"I spent 2 weeks in Ganpati Guesthouse and after a few days began to feel so much at home there. I like the communal spaces and incredible location, right in the heart of things, but also a peaceful refuge from the rest of the city. I felt very safe and cared for by the easygoing, friendly but professional staff who were very helpful, kind and caring. Highly recommend the guide, Balu who took me on a wonderful walking tour, he has such a gentle and generous manner and is full of local knowledge without being overbearing. I love the roof terrace restaurant and the lovely waiters - and I especially enjoyed the simple but lovely Indian food on the menu. I feel very at home in Varanasi - and the safe refuge of Ganpati is a huge part of that feeling. THANK YOU! I can't wait to come back."

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."

Sankatha Guest House

"Located in front of the Ganges River, it is a perfect location for sightseeing. However, the road to the hotel is very narrow and taxis cannot pass, so those arriving late at night should be careful. The windows weren't locked properly, so a lot of insects came in. However, there were no dangerous incidents during our stay, so we can recommend it to those who want to stay at a cheap price."

Shanti Guest House

"Unfortunately we only stayed one night in Varanasi, but if the opportunity arises to return, we will definitely return to the Shanti Hotel."
