I feel I have a home here. The family rooms are spacious but they don't have any sunlight and the bathroom hooks are very high for average height people like me. WiFi worked better at 207. At 407 it was not so great at times. The safe didn't work at 207. Other than these I have to say it was a...

BrijRama Palace, Varanasi - By the Ganges

BrijRama Palace, Varanasi - By the Ganges

8/10 Good
"It’s an old palace which they are trying to maintain. The best part is the location, on the banks of the holy Ganges. Unfortunately we could not enjoy the steps to walk down to the river as it was all under water. The room was small and was not worth the price. But the people and the services rendered were amazing. Food was good and nothing special. What makes it worth is the services of the staff."
