It was an amazing stay! The place is just stunning and it is an experience all through! Abhilash the front desk manager was great and the staff Khushi, Kewal, Prince, Satish and Sankalp made sure the stay was enjoyable! Will definitely go back again!

Staff was helpful when you have questions. And the check-in process could be much smoother. They should provide the information on the local attractions. It's very overrated based on the money you spend!! The process to drop off was very horrible. It took us out from e-riksha from small rough lanes where we witness man was peeing openly. I don't understand why they could not drop off where they picked up in the boat. Highest being guessed, but they cannot have a clean passage for elderly people to walk. Disorganized.. . Treat guests as numbers and fake concerns.. Disappointed!

It was at the ghat . We had to take the boat to reach the palace. It was a beautiful journey. People were very welcoming, polite and understanding. They took us for evening Aarti that was spectacular. Food was delicious.

The BrijRama Palace is a magnificent property to stay when in Varanasi. It is rare to stay in a place like this along the Ganges. The views from the lobby balcony are stunning.

We loved our stay at Brijrama palace. Hotel management went above and beyond to make last minute changes in making our accommodations. We really appreciate the effort.
Only problem is access on the road. Due to being right on water there is nothing that can be done.

Whether you are looking for a spiritual escape or mind and body relaxation, Brij Rama Palace is worth it. I took my mother and kids to the hotel to celebrate her 75th birthday. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and took really good care of us. Don’t miss the spa treatments if you happen to stay here. Thank you Brij Rama associates for making this one of the best holidays I ever had.

This property is amazing. We were there May 26th and 27th. They picked us up from the airport. From Namo ghat they take you in a boat to the hotel. We were in time for their high tea - they thoroughly spoil you. Later in the afternoon, it rained quite heavily, so it was very pleasant and went in the hotel arranged boat to see the Ganga Aarthi- It was amazing. We almost had a front row seat to one of the most spectacular ceremonies. Next day, because of the rising temperatures , we left at 6am to temples ( I had made my own arrangements) , came back for breakfast ( very deliciously and staff is so hospitable) and then left for a couple of hours to see BHU and Sankat Mochan temple. We were back by 11:30 - the heat was unbearable. So we relaxed in the hotel - I got my free mehndi done .Little later we went and got our free foot massage done ( they are very good at it) . Then I signed up for neck and shoulder massage and head massage ( I thoroughly enjoyed it). Later in the evening we went for a walk - you can walk along the banks of Ganges endlessly from the hotel (simply breathe taking) and at night we took a bath in the Ganges. The hotel staff took very good care of us. Attended to each and every whim and fancy (of mine!)Their service is par excellence. Food was excellent. I loved our room. I got to watch the dance program in the evening for a bit. They have no tipping policy. On the 28th I had to leave for Gaya at 4:30am. They made all arrangements. Love this hotel.

By far the best hotel during our recent trip to India. Yes, it is expensive, but it was worth every penny. It's located directly on the river, a one minute walk to Dashashwamedh ghat which is the focal point in Varanasi at night. Nice attentions such as a musician during day time, dances at night. Their spa is great too. It was an unforgettable experience.

Absolute fantastic heritage palace converted to hotel. Brilliant location right on the Ganges and walking distance to all things. The staff were all just awesome and very attentive to our needs, especially mention Bhupesh in the restaurant, he was always happy to help with a smile and nothing seemed a trouble for him. Brilliant service. It was a privilege to stay at this hotel. Definitely would come back

Very expensive for what you get. The location is what you pay for. Make sure you don't drink the water they put in the room. Ask for bottled water.

The best part was the view of the Ganga - most convenient for Arti - rooms were small with no view though - mattress was soft so had back issues - dining area was only one with no outdoor seating - which is so lovely there - else all was great - food was awesome

It's hard to find enough superlatives for this hotel. If you have the means, then there really is no other place to stay in Varanasi. From the property, to the staff, the location, and every little "extra" like the evening show after the aarti on the banks of the river-which they take you to. We paid for the river view suite, and it was worth every penny. Simply superb.

Loved the architecture and decor of this place. It was very peaceful and serene having high tea overlooking the Ganges with colorful boats and the flavor of Banaras. From the moment we checked in, we felt like royalties. Definitely coming here again next time I visit Banaras.

Amazing hospitality. Very polite and well behaved staff. Excellent location and views from the hotel. Neat and clean restaurant and overall property. Very good food and an attentive and prompt service

Everything was up to our standards and exceeded more. We were confused about tipping, considering we have a more Western civilization autonomy and did tip a person that helped with our baggage. The food was amazing and hospitality was just as equal. I would highly recommend anyone visiting Varanasi to stay at the Brijrama Palace. Daily entertainment such as music, dancing, high tea, yoga, massages and boat rides were an extra plus to our stay.

I rated the outside area of the facility as dirty but that could be said for most areas of the city. The reason to visit and stay in Varanasi and specifically this hotel is for access to the culture and lifestyle surrounding the Ganges River and you definitely do not miss it from this location. The hotel is amazing and beautiful in every way.

What a fabulous place to stay in Varanasi. My only complaint would be that I wish the history and transformation of this incredible hotel were showcased more prominently. Food was excellent, service was flawless and all the additional amenities were well worth checking out from the spa to the rooftop yoga in the mornings. Thank you for a wonderful stay and hope to be back soon.
