Hotel Hari Vilaas

Staying at Hotel Hari Vilaas in Varanasi was a mixed experience, but overall, it’s still a solid choice for the price. The staff were welcoming and security at the entrance was reassuring. The on-site restaurant offers a wide variety of affordable meals, and I had no issues with food hygiene—everything tasted fresh and safe. The Wi-Fi was consistently strong, and hot water was available 24/7, which is a big plus in this part of India. That said, there were some noticeable room and housekeeping shortcomings. The duvet cover was visibly worn and shedding lint—definitely needs replacing. Upon arrival, the toilet paper roll was damp and dirty, which was off-putting. Housekeeping collected my used towels but forgot to bring clean ones—had to ask at reception to fix it. Shower gel and shampoo in individual bottles were empty and never refilled. The tap was in poor condition, causing water to spill over when turned on, and the shower had no curtain, leaving the entire bathroom soaked every time. Also, there was no fridge in the room. Despite these flaws, I’d still say this place offers good value compared to other options in Varanasi. If you’re prepared for minor inconveniences and don’t mind a few rough edges, it’s worth considering.

Everything about this place felt thoughtfully designed to make guests comfortable. Without a doubt, I highly recommend Rivatas for anyone visiting Varanasi.

Taj Ganges Varanasi

An absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff were exceptional—especially Pem, Ravi, Prachi, and Jyothi—who made us feel truly welcome and at home. The location is perfect: just steps away from major attractions and all nearby amenities, with a clean and peaceful environment. Breakfast was delicious and well-prepared, and the food quality throughout our visit was consistently impressive. We used the hotel’s private car service, which was reliable, reasonably priced, and gave us peace of mind as tourists—no need to worry about hiring a guide. One of the best things? You can request your preferred room setup—quiet, near the elevator, or away from busy areas—and they happily accommodate. The overall experience was outstanding. If there’s a loyalty program or rewards system in place, definitely worth signing up for—staff are incredibly patient, attentive, and always ready to help. Thank you again for such warm hospitality!
