This 'hotel' is located right on the bank of the Ganges - Location is great if you want to spend time walking along the Ganges past the Gnats. Cant get there by vehicle - you need to walk/carry your bags some distance to get there from the nearest traffic-able road (unless you want to risk your neck on a motorbike!)... More

I enjoyed a lot my stay at Shiva Ganges View, due to the perfect location of the guest house and the outstanding view from the balcony. At walking distance from all the main places of interest and busy areas, it is, at the same time, a very peaceful place from sunset to sunrise. I should also add that services were... More

The hotel is a little better than decent, but priced at a luxury level. After staying in many hotels around India, this is priced 50% more than it's worth. The rooms are adequate, with a nice coat of paint but little else. Futon type mattress, no available electrical plugs, lizards on the walls, and tons of bugs in the bathroom.... More

Airport pick-up very smooth despite our late arrival and driver very friendly. Lovely, characterful hotel with friendly staff. And after spending several days wondering up and down the ghats, we felt that the location was perfect. Right on the waterfront and lots of bustling activity on the ghat during the day but very quiet at night (whilst being easy walking... More

specially the owner and the staff were very helpfull in any situation. they are very well connected in varanasi and are always ready to arrange taxis, flighttickets, toures, laundry etc. Its a nice place to relax in the colourefull and hectic atmosphare in varanasi.

We had a very good experience here. We were grateful they could accommodate our last minute booking and that someone was there to collect us from the train before sunrise. Location right on the river is fantastic! Also right next door to the awesome lotus lounge. Food is quite good at the guesthouse itself too and you can eat on... More

The manager is a little overbearing selling extra services . His assistant Getindra and the rest of the staff are courteous and helpful. Nice views of the Ganges but rooms are 3500 to 6000. Still a good choice.

You could spend all day just sitting on your balcony looking at all the activities nearby the Ganges. We got a free upgrade of our room. We stayed in a beautiful room on the first floor with own balcony, on which breakfast was served. The room has high ceilings, is niceley decorated and clean. The location is perfect in the... More

We left after our 3 days at this hotel not very happy. We had one of the top floor rooms in the hotel which cost us 5,000rps a night for what we were assured was a 'great view'. It turned out that the rooms on the top floor seemed to have the worst views in the hotel. Each of the... More
