A Palace on River ( Rashmi Guest House )

Rashmi Guest House and associated restaurant is well managed by experienced Hotel manager Sanjeev. Staff take considerable care to look after their guests. The building offer budget accommodation in the most amazing location right on the ghats near the main Aarti which takes place every evening. The rooms vary in expense and facilities; mine had a view of the Ganga, excellent queen size bed and clean bathroom with hot water. Cupboard provided with clothes hangers, kettle & tea with coffee. Associated Dolphin restaurant has well priced meals again with full view of the Ganga and festivities. Sanjeev with notification will arrange for direct taxi from airport to hotel without commission. He can also arrange for tours, and shopping guides to ensure tourists experience fair pricing. I will book again next visit and have trusted Sanjeev in previous visits.

Very bad experience. I booked room from Goibibo and what we saw in pictures about room and what we got, everyone can see in images. And now hotel and not even Goibibo is going to give my money back...I complained and we didnt even check in after looking into the room quality. Very unhygienic and not sanitized...

The location of the hotel is good and very close to the ghats of Varanasi, specifically if you want to spend time during evening Aarti. But the rooms are very small and not clean, the hotel surprisingly has no aqua guard water and the water offered in room is not sealed drinking water but pump water on unsealed bottles, staff are helpful

Last month, on the date of 29th September, me and my family checked into Rashmi Guest House situated by the Manmandir ghat, part of Ganga river. This was according to our plan of our visit of Varanasi. After checking in, the rooms were in a very bad state (our room no was 103 and 102). This Hotel need maintenance very badly. The only good thing about this property was that it had a great view of the river. Hotel is very much near to the Ganga Ghat. Other than that, nothing is good about the Hotel, service was terrible. For instance, we told a waiter to deliver us a bottle of water but when I was about to drink it, I saw sediments floating on the water. Maintenance was also terrible. The geysers didn't have a switch and had to get them turned on from the receptionists. But if you are preferring a low cost hotel, where you will roam and stay out all day out and only for sleeping, then it's recommended otherwise you can avoid this.

Absolutely amazing stay for the family. You will have to climb stairs to 2nd and 3rd Floor but it is worth the climb. The view was amazing and the stay was very comfortable. The front desk, service staff and housekeeping all are extremely helpful and made sure our stay was comfortable. Special thanks and call out to Ajay ji the Senior manager who went over and above to help us with local sight seeing and also covering local desi cuisines and lassi! Your smile made our day!! Highly recommended.

I got an oppurtunity after 6 years to be back at this property. I was there for 2 days. Checkin was very smooth and front office manager Mr. Faizan was very helpful in upgrading my room to premium deluxe instead of super deluxe. The room was facing ganges river and so beautiful in the early mornings and during sun set as you can experience the sunrise and the sun set from your room. The room boys were very helpful in carrying my luggage to and fro from Godowalia chowk as rickshaws are not allowed. Only minus point to be noted is that if you have more luggage and elderly people it may be difficult for them but still you may get wheel chairs and coolies to carry your luggage to hotel. Those who want to stay peacefully away from your busy life and to experience ganges and ghats this is very good place. You have Niyati cafe and dolhpin restaurant nearby to get good tasty food... Very close to gate no 1 and 2 also very close to Aarti ghat and Vishalaksi temple. Mr Manish, Faizan, Golu bhai and team of youngsters was very supportive..... Neat and clean hotel rooms, premium deluxe had very good view and the only negativity is the non availability of lift which could hamper the elderly ones ease of access to the room. Thankyou Rashmi Guest house for hosting me for 2 days

Before visiting this Hotel i came across some of the mixed reviews. But after seeing the room pics, i was determined the hotel would be good by ignoring the negative comments passed by the customer. The Day i visited the hotel and checked the standard room, all my worst nightmares came into life, Rooms are very dirty, bed are not clean, Cigarette buds on the floor. Since I didn't have an option as I paid the full money, I requested the hotel manager to give me a better room...but they gave me a deluxe room which was on the 4th Floor by charging an extra amount. Worst part is that the Hotel doesn't have lift and it was very difficult for my father to go through such an experience who is 74 years old. the Delux room which was allocated to me had mosquitos on top of that room phone was dead. After several follow ups there was no conclusion. They also have restaurants wherein the food is expensive. I tried a cup of tea which cost me somewhere around 80 or 90 RS, so called Masala Tea and it wasn't up to the mark, street tea is far better than this. Otherwise the staff are better and cooperative, Mr.Fazian, Sujoy and others, special thanks to the ground staff Santosh and others very helpful. The above comments are particularly to the owner of this Hotel, who should look into this and think about it. How to improve the service and overall operation. I have no issue with the Managers and Staff, they did what best could be done.

I have stayed at Rashmi Guest house twice and it's a great place to stay if you want to experience the beauty of Varanasi's ghats. Super close to Dasashwamedh it is perfectly located over looking Ganga and most rooms have a great view of the river. It is surrounded by quaint little temples - so you wake up to not only a gorgeous sunrise but also so some soothing chants and temple bells. The rooms are clean & spacious and the staff brilliant. Specially want to call out Faizan, Manish, Sanjeev ji & Raja for all the amazing hospitality. They were super friendly and helpful with all my requests. The guesthouse also runs a restaurant which is right next door - Dolphin. So it's easier to grab a bit if you are working remotely and don't have much time. Highly recommend Rashmi guest house and I definitely see myself going back to this place.
