This isn't a hotel. It's a poorly maintained house, far from what's advertised on their website. The room is damp, and the bathroom is disgusting. The blankets are dirty and worn. They start making noise early in the morning, and the mosquitoes in the room are unbearable. The entrance is a 10-minute walk through narrow alleyways filled with dog feces and trash. They can't accept such terrible service and infrastructure.

Väldigt bra läge. Trevlig och hjälpsam personal.

Staff wonderful. Restaurant closed so had to eat elsewhere. Was expecting more from a 3 star but I guess that is my fault. I chose the hotel based on location to the Ganges and the ghats which was great. However, the old city is pedestrian only and had to walk 15 minutes to the hotel.. Hotel did provide porters. Also, got lost every time I went out-old city is a maze of narrow alleys Suggest you stay on outskirts of the pedestrian only are for ease of navigation.

Very good overall choice in Varanasi for what it is.

Had a wonderful stay - was a little concerned, we had to shift to a cycle rickshaw, and hotel staff carried our bags through narrow alleys for about a km - but when we got inside, it was quaint & pretty, great view of Ganga from our balcony - Chausatti ghat is steps from the hotel, climb down to the river. Dasashwamedh ghat, where they do the Ganga Aarathi is literally 10 minutes by walk - we were there 3 nights, and saw Aarathi up close every night. Hotel staff was extremely helpful, wonderful manager, Neeraj was great - they arranged Pooja and Darshan at the main temple, we zipped trough queues, next day they arranged a trip to various other temples and Saranath- they also helped into a tuk-tuk at 4:30 AM to catch a 6:00 AM train

Although the staff provided excellent service, the property needs care. Room was cold and bed felt wet cold. Linens didn't feel clean or fresh. I am allergic to cats and was petrified to see a stray cat loitering everywhere. The courtyard looked good in the picture but its in a sad state and doesn't get maintained well enough.

エアコンは冷房しか使えませんでした。金額にの割に設備がイマイチです。 スタッフはみなさん良い人たちでした。

Beautiful

Værelset var fint. Personalet utroligt hjælpsomme

2日間泊まりました。 初日は、ガンジス川のリバービューの部屋で大変神秘的な気持ちになりました。 日本語が上手いスタッフさんがおり、英語が未熟な私でも何の不安なく泊まることができました…外出してちょっと飲みに行くなんて事ができないバラナシでディナーをスタッフさんと楽しむ方ができ、より身近なバラナシを楽しむ事ができました…また必ずきます。 2日目はインディゴ航空のキャンセルでデリーに帰る事が出来ずもう一泊追加しました…リバービューではありませんでしたが、リーズナブルな宿泊ができました…2日目もヤケ酒に付き合ってくれたスタッフさんありがとうございました。

Staff were super helpful.

エアコンは効いていました。 スタッフの方もとてもフレンドリーでした。 また自分の手配ミスで泊まりたい日の前日に予約をしてしまって、当日に気がつき空いている部屋にお金を支払って泊めてもらおうと交渉したところ、前日の予約の分で泊まらせてもらいました。 本当に感謝しています。

The property is a beautiful old buikding which sits high off the ganga river, and the views are amazing. The room was spacious and clean, with a balcony so you sit and relax watching world go buy.. The monkeys eould come and sit , but they can not be trusted. My only issue was not having a working Tv and tge bar fridge needs to be updated. Overall the staff and hotel are amazing.

Personnel au top. Ils ont su facilité notre séjour. L’hôtel est dans le vieux quartier piéton non accessible en voiture. Le toit terrasse permet de contempler le Gange. Les chambres sont vétustes mais il y a la Clim et de l’eau chaude. La nourriture est très bonne

The property is more run down than photos suggest, but still comfy. I was a bit let down by the condition given the high ratings, though everything’s relative. Important: the hotel isn’t reachable by car, rickshaw, or even pedal rickshaw—you have to walk 10–15 minutes from the closest drop-off. Contact the hotel for porters; they’re essential. We visited during monsoon and didn’t realize this, so we dragged rollerbags through narrow alleys with 2” of water, cow dung, and buzzing scooters. Backpacks are much easier. GPS can be off in the alleys—using two phones or pausing until the dot jumps works. Staff was great and responsive, though one pushed tours and boats too hard. Food was good, and the location is epic—awesome Ganges view from the balcony. You don’t need a guide for the burning ghats or aarti; Google Maps gets you close enough even with a few wrong turns. Touts in Varanasi (not the hotel) are the worst I’ve seen in India. Many lie to get money—ignore them like locals do. Foreigners look like walking ATMs. Key rule: no photos at the burning ghats without family permission. You don’t need to pay or have a guide to be there. Rain leaked through the balcony doors and brought a few ants, but not a huge issue. Airport taxi via hotel was ₹1100—beat-up car, no AC. Uber was ₹945 but dropped us 800m away in the rain. Hotel porters help a lot. Recommend booking transport through the hotel but ask for a better car.

Hotel staffs are awesome !! They are always ready to assist. Though the walk from Main Street to hotel is a bit confusing but overall it was a good experience !!

All Good at Sri Oskar Palace. Since it was not high season My Aircon no-river view was complementarily upgraded, to A Riverview room complete with a great shared balcony. They were really good at getting me from and back to the airport with the taxi service. My only issue, and it is not the fault of the hotel, was the aggressive monkeys. They would come onto the balcony and at first, be cute. I made the mistake of letting one sip some beer I poured for it on the top of the wall. It made a great Social Media post, but the next day, two monkeys joined me up on the balcony, and I didn’t have any beer!! They were not happy and acted out towards me… I Didn’t feel totally safe up there after that… Don’t give ANYTHING to the monkeys! Have breakfast away from the edge on the rooftop, because monkeys jumped on our tables and made a mess and broke glasses all over the floor…

This is a remarkable ancient city in India. The closest road is a 15 minute walk, so be prepared to carry your bags through very narrow alleys. Enjoy the experience that India has to offer.

Relación precio calidad excelente!!! Esta muy bien situado si quieres estar cerca de los ghats..... Una zona completamente tradicional de varanesi (hay zonas más nuevas, depende de cada viajero). El restaurante del hotel excelente!!! Son muy amables y accesibles para el check-in y el check-out

Property is in an excellent location. The staff is helpful and arranged tours with great guides. They facilitated transportation services and even carried our luggage the 15 minutes it took to get to automobile roads. The property was dirty. Our first room had ants in the bed and the AC did not work. They were gracious enough to move us to a new room with working AC. But the room was just as dirty. The walkway to the hotel was littered with trash. But the location to the Ghat area was perfect. As a side note this was an all male staff.
