Perfect place to stay near the ganges and the ghats. Rooms are nice and the roof terrace is still spectacular.So also don´t miss to try the good restaurant there. So we had a great time at ganpati. Chiku the man behind the desk is a helpful fine man. So don´t wait do long with your reservation. Often it´s booked up.... More

Really nice hotel with bags of character! A sanctury away from the madness of the Varanasi streets but right in the heart of it all and rooms looking right onto the Ganges. We paid 1500 INR for a really nice and clean room with A/C. We used the travel desk there to book out train tickets too which was really... More

Wow, I really enjoyed my stay at this guest house. Great location near the ghats. A little basic but it clean and the rooms are spacious and colorful with an amazing view on the Ganges river. Really friendly and helpful staff. Good rooftop restaurant with a lot of choice, not only Indian. Next time I am in Varanasi I will... More

It is a safe guesthouse and good if you want a communal feel. Rooms are fairly clean. Pricing is good and the staff service is great! View is spectacular! Would think this is the best guesthouse on the ganges.

My friend and I had lived in the Ganpati for 3 days. This place is so nice that we would absolutely choose to live here again. Not to mention about the wonderful garden, nice rooms, great location, the most impressive thing here is the staff. All of them are so nice! They try to solve all your problems without any... More

Stayed 2 nights at the Guest House. Our room was on the top floor with a great air conditioner----a must!! Be sure to ask to be picked up and taken to the hotel because it would be next to impossible to find on your own. Restaurant has a limited menu, but it was good--vegetarian only. The hotel is alcohol free,... More

The guest house has a great roof top restaurant with excellent food. We ate here a few times during our stay and watched the world go by... More

My friend an me stayed 1 night at Ganpati Guest house which is a nice place to stay. And you can see the nice Ganga river view from the Rooftop. From the guest house to the street only 5-10 minute walk, very convenience to go shopping if you stay there.
