This place is adequate. The building is very pleasant with lots of outdoor common seating areas and nice decor. We had a room at the top with a Ganges view. Room was extremely tiny with very little space to walk around. Shower temperature was finicky, pressure just ok. Bathroom clean. Room service was good for breakfast, they did not offer... More

This was a very comfortable hotel with an excellent location - probably the best if you want to stay on the ghats. It had a greta view and was right on Assi Ghat. The staff was helpful and friendly. The room was tastefully decorated and the bathroom was clean. Not many amenities in the room - no TV.

We stayed here for two nights in April and we were disappointed in this property. Although we had a top floor room it was small and poky and curtains had to remain closed to have any privacy. The shower did not work and the towels were so old and grey that it was difficult to make yourself use them. Staff... More

We are in the cheaper ground floor rooms and the price of ours is 3000 Rps £38 per night so not sure where the av. Price is coming from especially as the rooms above are 4000 Rps. We have been travelling through northern India for a month and this hotel is 50% more expensive than any previous hotels we have... More

Hotel Ganges View is just that - a hotel with a view of the Ganges. But is it much more too. This delightful family run boutique hotel has lovely homely and artistic touches. For example, our room had beautiful hand paintings on the ceilings and wall, framed paintings in the room, stained glass sliding doors on to an enclosed balcony... More

Would have given this hotel a higher rating but for the terrible scalping experience we had during check-out. This hotel is cash only, we were never told this. When checking out, we were told that we didn't have to pay anything, and our travel agent would cover. I didn't think this was correct, and asked the employee to make sure... More

Varanasi is chaotic, but once in this hotel there is calm. We had a lovely room which overlooked the river and a lovely enclosed veranda where we had breakfast each morning. The room was a good size and the bed very comfortable, but I think it was the worst shower we had in India. No great problem. This hotel is... More

The hotel is an old (100 +/- years) converted, rich merchant's mansion located above the Asi Ghat at the south end of the ghats. The merchant in his day was a close associate of the local maharaja. The ambience is truly Indian and thus adds to ones travel experience. There are Indian antiques throughout and the intiiment dinning room (about... More
