DoubleTree by Hilton Varanasi
Staying at DoubleTree by Hilton Varanasi was an absolutely wonderful experience. The staff went above and beyond with their kindness and attention to detail—always smiling, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. The hotel itself is spotlessly clean, making it feel like a peaceful retreat amidst the vibrant city. I especially appreciated the guided tours arranged by the hotel; they were well-organized, insightful, and gave me a deeper connection to the local culture and spiritual heritage of Varanasi. From the moment I arrived to the time I checked out, every aspect felt thoughtfully curated. It’s not just a place to sleep—it’s a memorable part of the journey. Highly recommend for anyone visiting this sacred city.
Stay Banaras - A Boutique Hotel
Our stay at Stay Banaras was nothing short of extraordinary—truly a highlight of our trip to Varanasi. After navigating the vibrant, bustling energy of the city, this boutique hotel felt like a peaceful sanctuary. The room itself was stunning, with an abundance of natural light that made it feel bright and serene—an instant retreat from the chaos outside. Everything was immaculate, from the sleek bathroom to the charming terrace where we enjoyed morning coffee and evening relaxation under the stars. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, like family. And let’s talk about the on-site restaurant, Behind Yellow Doors—it’s a must-visit. The food is exceptional, beautifully plated, and bursting with flavor, while the ambiance strikes the perfect balance between elegant and intimate. If we ever return to Varanasi, there’s no doubt in our minds where we’ll stay. This place isn’t just a hotel—it’s a true haven for travelers seeking comfort, charm, and a moment of calm in a magical city. Five stars? Absolutely deserved.
Hotel Silk City
We stayed at Hotel Silk City for two nights and had a generally excellent experience. The room was spotlessly clean with all the essentials—hot water, shampoo, toilet paper, and a working hairdryer. What stood out was that housekeeping cleaned our room daily, which isn’t always the case in other hotels across India. Dinner was served at the hotel restaurant, offering a mix of Indian and continental options—we found the food to be tasty and reasonably priced. The only downside was the surrounding area, which felt a bit chaotic, but honestly, that’s part of the authentic Indian experience. Despite that, we’d definitely stay here again if we’re back in Varanasi. Great value, good service, and a comfortable base for exploring the city.
The Sapphire Grand
My overall stay was quite pleasant. The rooms were well-equipped with all the essential amenities, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is a bit on the expensive side, but it's located in a good neighborhood with easy access to local attractions. Dining options are pricey, but the food quality, portion size, and taste were decent—nothing fancy, but satisfying for a meal out. It’s not the cheapest option in town, but if you're looking for comfort and convenience in a reliable setting, it’s worth considering. A solid choice for travelers who prioritize location and service over budget.
Square Inn
Staying at Square Inn in Varanasi was an absolutely delightful experience. The room was spotlessly clean and well-maintained, with just enough space for a comfortable night’s rest. The staff were incredibly polite and welcoming—especially Ms. Mahima, who was cheerful, helpful, and always ready to assist with any request. Her positive attitude really made the stay more enjoyable. The location is excellent—right in the heart of the city, steps away from major attractions and local eateries. I loved how quiet and peaceful the inn felt while still being close to everything. It’s rare to find such a cozy, well-run place with such great value. I’d definitely recommend this gem to anyone visiting Varanasi.
Hotel Sjr
This property is not worth being listed on any platform. The room descriptions are completely misleading—every single room is designated as smoking only, yet there’s no clear indication during booking, so you might accidentally end up with a smoking room thinking it’s non-smoking. To make matters worse, basic amenities like drinking water and towels in the bathroom were missing upon arrival. I reached out to the platform regarding these issues, and they did offer some compensation, but that doesn’t fix the poor experience. If you’re considering this hotel just because the price seems competitive, please think twice. There are far better options out there. You’ll thank me later for steering you away from this one. Don’t waste your time or money—this place simply doesn’t deliver.
Hotel Shivoy Grand
The hotel's location was excellent—most tourist attractions were within a 0.5 to 4 km radius, making it super convenient to explore on foot or by local transport. It’s just steps away from a lively market, perfect for grabbing snacks or souvenirs. The rooms were spotless and well-maintained, with a clean, calming vibe. Staff were friendly and attentive, always ready to help. Overall, this was a fantastic stay with great value and a welcoming atmosphere—I’d definitely return.
Hotel Aadesh Palace
Staying at Hotel Aadesh Palace was an absolute delight. Located just a short walk from Gate No. 4 of the Kashi Vishvanath Temple, it’s perfectly positioned for spiritual travelers and sightseers alike. While vehicles can’t go beyond 500 meters due to restricted access in the temple area, the walk is manageable and part of the experience—offering glimpses of authentic Varanasi life. The rooms were spotless, well-maintained, and incredibly comfortable, making for a restful night's sleep. What truly stood out was the staff—warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful. I especially want to thank the restaurant team (I’m sorry I didn’t catch your name!) for taking the time to explain local attractions and even helping me plan my sightseeing itinerary. Their guidance made my trip so much more meaningful. With excellent food, thoughtful service, and a peaceful atmosphere, this hotel offers great value and a memorable stay. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Varanasi.
The Century Plaza Hotel
Staying at The Century Plaza Hotel in Varanasi was a solid experience overall. The location is excellent—right in the heart of the city, making everything easily accessible by foot. The room was clean and well-equipped with all the basics you’d expect. However, there was a persistent sewer smell coming from the bathroom that required keeping the exhaust fan on for long periods—unfortunately, it’s quite noisy, which disrupted rest. This issue also affected my friends’ room during their stay, and neither room had windows, so ventilation was limited. I didn’t request daily cleaning as I picked up a stomach bug and needed to isolate myself for days. That said, the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating—they arranged early check-in and late checkout without hesitation, which made things much easier. The hotel has its own restaurant offering only vegetarian cuisine, perfect for those with dietary preferences. While not ideal for longer stays due to the ventilation and odor concerns, it’s a convenient and practical choice for a 2-3 night visit. I’d recommend this hotel for short trips, especially if you’re prioritizing location and service.
The Triumph Hotel Banaras Station
The Triumph Hotel is an absolute gem in Varanasi. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality that made me feel right at home. The room was spacious and beautifully designed, with a mattress so comfortable I fell asleep like a king. The staff went above and beyond—especially the male team, whose kindness and smiles genuinely brightened my day. Breakfast was a highlight: perfectly cooked omelettes and a buffet full of fresh, delicious options. Every detail felt thoughtfully curated. I left feeling refreshed and already planning my next visit. This is more than a stay—it’s an experience.
Ganga Tourist Lodge
Absolutely loved my stay! The room was spotlessly clean and the bed was incredibly comfortable—perfect for a good night's rest. The staff was available 24/7, which made everything so convenient. Even though the main road outside is busy with constant traffic, the rooms are positioned inward, so noise levels were surprisingly low. I was really impressed by how quiet it was inside. The value for money was outstanding—great quality at a very reasonable price. I’d definitely choose this place again if I ever return to Varanasi.
Fabhotel Super 3 Premium
My stay at Fabhotel Super 3 Premium in Varanasi was extremely disappointing. The hotel was far dirtier than the photos suggested—there’s a major mismatch between what’s advertised and reality. To make things worse, they double-booked my room despite me paying in advance, leaving me without accommodation for a night. There’s no kitchen or restaurant on-site, and when I asked for towels, they didn’t have any until I escalated to customer service. The night receptionist was unfriendly and unhelpful. The location is also quite far from the main attractions, making it inconvenient to explore the city. Overall, this was by far the worst experience I’ve had with any Fabhotel property. I wouldn’t recommend booking here through the platform—poor service, lack of basic amenities, and a very poor value for money.
