Pros:

The property is a heritage property and the facilities and staff are both excellent. They really make the guests feel like part of their family.
Special callout to Arif ji and Roshni ji for their attention to detail and generosity.

Cons:

This is not about the property but Id say, be careful about buying into the temple ritual offerings from the priests and external vendors.Make sure you fully understand what you're getting for your money's worth before signing up for any activities/ tours.

Amazing place to stay
Pros:

Wow, Varanasi you didn’t disappoint! We chose to stay our last 2 nights in India down near the ghats at the amazing BrijRama Hotel. It is a beautiful heritage building that has so much character and history. From the moment we arrived by boat the staff looked after us so well. The sweets & mangoes that were brought to our room daily, the Indian dancing, the hi-tea and tasty breakfasts (thanks to to Saurav for suggesting all sorts of foods to try) the beautiful sitar playing all made it an amazing place to stay.

I would also like to recommend Chef Devansh’s 10-course meal at Aangan Restaurant if you have the time. The food was incredible and the hosts Nitesh and Simran made the whole experience very special.

More Than a Hotel — A Truly Special Experience
Pros:

★★★★★ Exceptional stay at BrijRama
Staying at BrijRama was truly a magical experience. The location right on the Ganges offers breathtaking views, especially during the Ganga Aarti. The hotel beautifully blends heritage, peace and luxury. What made it even more special was the warmth and attentiveness of all the staff — everyone, from the team at the hotel to the boatsmen, made us feel cared for and welcomed. A memorable experience in the heart of Kashi. Highly recommended.

Stay by the Ganges
Pros:

Perched dramatically on the sacred banks of the Ganges, BrijRama Palace is less a hotel and more a living slice of Varanasi’s history. Believed to be one of the city’s oldest heritage structures, the palace has been beautifully restored into a luxury stay that immerses guests in the spiritual rhythm of the ghats from the moment they arrive by boat.
What makes this property unforgettable is its location on its own private ghat, offering uninterrupted views of sunrise rituals, temple bells and evening aarti along the river. The experience feels intimate and timeless — a rare blend of royal hospitality, classical music, and traditional décor that reflects Banarasi culture at every turn. Rooms are elegantly furnished with heritage touches while still offering modern comfort, and the service feels warm, attentive and deeply personalised.
Staying here isn’t just about accommodation; it’s about waking up to the Ganges, watching life unfold on the ghats, and feeling completely transported into the soul of Varanasi. For travellers seeking a unique heritage experience right in the heart of the city’s spiritual landscape, BrijRama Palace is truly special.

An Unforgettable Varanasi Experience
Pros:

Our stay at BrijRama Palace was truly exceptional. The hospitality was warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. A special mention to the chef who went completely out of the way to prepare exactly what we wanted—every meal was customized to our preferences and absolutely delicious.
The flavors, freshness presentation, and attention to detail were outstanding. It felt like a home away from home, but with royal treatment.
We will definitely come back again here just for brij.
