Pros:

Très bien situé avec une superbe terrasse avec vue sur le Gange. Pratique que le personnel puisse arranger l’arrivée depuis l’aéroport car pas simple de s’y retrouver dans les petites rues de Varanasi ! 🙂

Cons:

Do not trust the photos, reviews or staff at this hotel.
I booked the most expensive room, which was advertised as having a balcony overlooking the River Ganges, and had checked the room details with the staff in advance. Despite this, when I actually checked in, the room was completely different from the photos and had no view of the River Ganges. It’s a waste of money, so you should stay at a different hotel.

Pros:

La posizione centralissima, con terrazza sul ghat

Cons:

Prezzo spropositato per lo standard e i servizi. Si paga solamente la posizione
Attenzione alle scimmie in terrazza, sono molto moleste

Au plus près du Gange et de la vie à Varanasi.
Pros:

L’hôtel est très bien placé, au bord du Gange et avec une merveilleuse terrasse à toute heure de la journée. Ma chambre avait un joli balcon qui a reçu la visite de singes. Hôtel propre et sûr, avec un personnel attentif. Climatisation et douche = parfaites. C’est très calme et le restaurant prépare des plats simples mais bons et safe.

Cons:

Pas d’ascenseur. C’est important à savoir même si les gens de l’hôtel vous aident avec les valises, même depuis l’extérieur du centre-ville puisque les taxis ne peuvent accéder jusque là.

Pros:

Posizione super comoda per vivere l'atmosfera di varanasi. Staff super disponibile e accogliente. All'interno della guest house si può trovare un'atmosfera di pace per riposare. Nota di merito anche alla cucina.

Cons:

Purtroppo ci sono state delle incomprensioni per quanto riguarda le escursioni. In un primo momento ci siamo sentiti dire che era impossibile uscire in barca nei giorni del nostro alloggio,successivamente però il ragazzo addetto alle gite si è contraddetto dicendo l'opposto.

A place to be for short or long stay... feel of Benaras..
Pros:

This place is diffrent. It is not very modern but that is fine. One thing i want to mwntion in beginning this place may not be very friendly for old parents or someone with issue of knee or climbing up and down. Any ways this place is cosy, such a accessible location for the temple, All the ghaats, aarti and other activities. Such a good room if you book next category than standard as it come with a nice cosy balcony with sitting area. Food at terrace restaurant is fresh, good and tasty. Staff is so nice. Room is well equiped AC, Fan, hot and cold water, basic amenities. And it is not a build hotel it is a old house converted to hotel stay so you have that homely feel. If you realy want to stay for more more than 5 days it is a peefect place. Over at the price one will pay it is more than value you pay. Thanks to everyone at Ganpati guest house.

Cons:

Everything most important food and accessibility.

Fantastisch
Pros:

De sfeer was fantastisch. Inrichting, uitzicht. We werden opgehaald door het personeel daar waar de taxi niet verder kon (voetgangers gebied). Toplocatie direct aan 1 van de ghats waar we op de boot stapten voor een interessante tocht over de Ganges. De gids die door het hotel geregeld was was absoluut top en wist ons naar speciale plekken te begeleiden en veel uitleg te geven. Personeel allemaal super met name de restaurant manager.

Cons:

Alles was prima in orde
