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.

An unforgettable experience
Pros:

We booked a room with a balcony, and it was absolutely worth it. Being able to offer our prayers while looking at Ganga Maa during the day, evening, and night was a deeply peaceful and spiritual experience. I had never before stayed so close to Ganga Maa for three nights and four days, and it is a memory I will cherish for life.

The staff were extremely courteous, friendly, caring, and always ready to help. Their hospitality was truly exceptional. As my mother had to undertake a more than 12-hour train journey, they thoughtfully prepared a special meal for her without spices, along with fresh chapatis. This personal care touched us deeply.

The room was cleaned every day, and the breakfast was excellent. The food was fresh, comforting, and felt just like a home-cooked meal.

Overall, our stay was peaceful, memorable, and spiritually enriching. It was an unforgettable experience, and we are sincerely grateful to the entire team for making our visit so special.

Cons:

The only area for improvement is to improve Wifi connectivity.

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

Had a lovely time.
Pros:

My first room had a view of the courtyard/building next door from a door, with no actual windows. As I had booked "room with view" I requested a change of rooms and was quickly/easily moved to another with two windows and an adequate view. Service was spectacular.

Cons:

No complaints.
