Hotel Ganges view is overpriced and whilst it is right on Assi Ghat I found it to be too far away from the main action of the other ghats. The rooms are spacious and very clean however I found the staff not that friendly especially when I asked for a taxi to the airport and they didn't book it until... More

Despite being a beautiful hotel in a good location carrying a wonderful air of charm and character of Varanasi, most of our group got sick during the stay there and we observed many other guests sick all with the same symptoms of dysentery or vomiting. I took a look in the kitchen to find out how such an upmarket place... More

One of my favorite places to stay, the Hotel Ganges View is perfectly located in Assi Ghat. Shashankji runs a fabulous property and the staff is absolutely wonderful. It is a charming place and the food is absolutely wonderful. As a vintage hotel, it doesn't have many modern amenities, which is ok given the atmosphere. Unfortunately, it's popularity has driven...

I love the Hotel Ganges View Hotel. I stayed there in 2004 and again in December 2011. But the price increased dramatically during that time period. From a place for visiting scholars it has moved to a much higher price range. If you can afford it, though, it is worth it. The rooms are comfortable (although the beds hard) and... More

I spent 2 nights at the ganges view guest house in august 2011. As mentioned before the location is great. It's on Assi Ghat, easy to find and the neighborhood is great. As the Ganges river was very high I couldn't walk from Ghat to Ghat, too bad... The hotel is very pretty with lots of antiques. I had a... More

The hotel is nice to an Indian standart but room was small. The view means you have to step outside from your room to a tarrace !!! If you think that your room is with your own balcony you are mistaken. It is a tarrace used by all tourists from the floor ( 4 rooms on one level ). We... More

... of the Ganges himself! Very well located, next to holly Assi Ghat. Nice vegetarian food and helpfull staff. Simple but comfortable, elegantly decorated. A very special place. (If you are on a very tight budget and find it a bit pricey, stay in one of the hotels nearby. Very good location in Varanasi) More

A small hotel overlooking a narrow street and with good views over the Ganges. Rooms rather dark but with pleasant sitting areas outside. Hotel is clean with friendly staff - beds a little on the hard side. Hotel is of a 'colonial style', with lovely hand-painted motifs and pictures. A good choice given its location. More

A quaint little place right on Assi Ghat (One of the nicer ghats I got to see). An ancestral home that's been turned into a little hotel, you can literally feel the history of the place. Beautifully and quaintly decorated, it doesn't give u the stuffy feel of being in a hotel and has a more homely feel to it.... More
