They didn't tell me that during major festival times that the roads around the hotel are closed. This made it very hard and confusing to find the hotel. Even when leaving, I understood i had booked a car through them that would pick me up from the hotel. But in fact I needed to take a pedal cab to a carpark outside of the closed off zone. They assisted me but they did not explain this when ibooked the car.

Very helpful and friendly staff, big rooms, convenient location

The approach to the hotel is difficult as autos don't go right to the entrance. But the hotel staff was kind enough to send someone to pick us up from around 100m away.

Central location. Very easy to visit the temple and the ghats. Very friendly staff and great service. They even helped organize an incredible Ganga arti experience.

Restocking items at breakfast wasnt very efficient. Staff seemed to be looking for extras/tips and in doing so were a bit intrusive.

Good location if you dont wanna be fully in the old centre where you cant reach by car. Still walkable distance. Rooms spacious, ac worked. First room the card slot was broken but got upgraded to a new room so no problem. Booked activities and taxi through the hotel, which was easy though possible a bit overpriced. Breakfast was tasty.

The entry and surroundings were dirty and stinking. But once you enter the area, it is better.

Location, it is very accessible to all the nearby points of visit. The evening music by artists.

Location is class one if Kashi is considered. The restaurant was nice with good food quality, but the quantity is too much for solo travellers. I would request the authority to arrange for regular room cleaning/ service. Otherwise excellent stay.

Hotel very difficult to find which given the crowds of people was very stressful. First breakfast a bit disorganised, second morning was much better.

Friendly staff, nice inner courtyard, very good location

Excellent location, service & Ambience

Location of rooms meant that we were sometimes disturbed by workmen early in the morning.

Location was very good, staff were very helpful and friendly. Room was lovely. We all enjoyed our stay in Varanasi.

Wifi could be stronger, more English TV channels would be nice.

Small but functional room. Great staff, good restaurant with non veg food. Off the main street so not noisy. Staff very helpful with arranging transport to airport during Kumb Mela. An oasis in the madness.

Staff was not particularly friendly (as often in India) neither super professional. The road leading to the hotel from the train station was closed to traffic because of the crowd, but the staff didn't inform me of this, which made things quite confusing with tuk-tuk drivers on my arrival. Overall, quality over price ratio is not so high. For this price, one could expect a better service.

Nice location given the crowd in Varanasi end of January 2025 (better than closer to the ghats). Room was good, without being exceptionnal. Bed was confortable. Large breakfast buffet with many options (mainly indian, not continental).

Expensive for what you get and the standaard for clean is low compared to european countries.

Great location, restaurant and staff

Rest of hotel a bit shabby but good value for money

Very central. Entrance to property a bit dicey but roadworks probably contributed to the issue. Room very comfortable.

Car parking facilities should be their.

I was almost kicked out of my room due to overbooking but thank goodness it all worked out in the end!

Location was great: close enough to the ghats and main road shopping. The breakfast was satisfactory but the room and the shower!! were fantastic. If ever in Varanasi again I will definitely rebook at Shree Ganesha!

reception staff are excellent, They are helpful, well prepared, tons of info about Varanasi. boat trip, Sarnath day trip as well as airport transportation.

Given the location, the city noise - including incessant car and motorbike horns and barking dogs - seemed to be never ending and went on all through the evening and into the night. Not the hotel's fault, of course, but something to consider.

The location was great, just a 500m walk from the main Ghat, through a crowded but safe pedestrian shopping street. The reception welcome was lovely and we were given coffee, a bindi and beads upon arrival. Our room had sufficient space and was clean enough, although it might need a facelift in the not too distant future. Bathroom was a bit dark but OK. Hotel staff were all very friendly. The 1916 restaurant was where we ate breakfast and dinner both days, and the food and service were great, with sensible prices. They even had live folk music by way of entertainment, which added to the authentic atmosphere.

Varanasi is noisy. So, because it s a nice location to visit the city, the hotel could be noisy too. But we had a great stay and the staffs are very welcoming.

Nice location and professional staff !!

Premium rooms hot water - Yes the place does have automated solar water supply rather than a geyser / heater at every room. I suggest otherwise, because it causes a lot of water wasteage. In a premium room nobody looks for whether hot water is from the geyser or solar heater. The water wastage is so much it troubled my principles. Instead this water can be saved if somehow you switch. To get the hot water the initial water wastage is so much that, the number litres is approx equivalent to 2 big buckets of water 30 - 40L. If this is the same scenario in all premium rooms, I leave the calculations upto the property. Also water bottles for drinking that are provided in the rooms are very limited, 500ml per person per day. Also on the checkout day the guest should not be denied with the water bottles. The litres of water wasted in the bathroom for hot water if provided for drinking, the guests would leave happier.

Breakfast, location - Near to most of the places in Kashi.
