Delightful 10 room boutique hotel converted from a summer palace. The room is delightful with a large bathroom. Outdoor porch outside room overlooking gardens ideal for relaxing. Service very attentive and caring. There is no elevator, so if there is a problem with stairs be sure to reserve first floor room. Very nice pool. The restaurant which is very small... more

We stayed for two nights over the Diwalli break. The Hotel grounds are wonderful, the rooms are nicely furnished although a bit smaller than we were expecting. It feels more like someone's home than a hotel. Especially as they had a superb library of very interesting books available to guests. A real highlight. The staff were very enthusiastic although seemed... more

I am travelling a lot but this hotel stay is the greatest and most charming experience I have had all around the world. This hotel was the place where the King of Varanasi was living in the past, it has just been entirely renovated and opened in February 2009. This is the first time I am posting a comment on... more

I worte a mail directly to them and got an immediate response within 24 hours. Good place to stay where you can feel like home. Though in the middle of the city but after entering entering the hotel premises, you'll find yourself in a different world where you'll find everything -> Freshness, Hospitality -> someone to take care of you.... more

Nadesar Palace is being positioned by Taj as a heritage property, and the room prices reflect that it is being positioned as a top end hotel.

We were extremely happy with our stay at the Taj. The building is unimpressive from the outside but it is set in a beautiful garden. After a hectic day in the cities, walking through the small allies of Benares, it felt great to get back there every evening. The place is just right. The manager and the rest of the... more

It always feels special when you stay at one of those palace- converted -to hotels in India. This is a huge property in Banaras, and although the town and the surroundings are very dirty and crowded, once you enter this hotel, you are transformed into a different world! It really does feel like the home of the maharajas. Rooms are... more

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this hotel. Food, room and staff were very good as one would expect for the price. Must also mention the Kebab Factory restaurant in the nearby Radisson. Fantastic value meat feast. more

My wife, brother-in-law and sister-in-law have just finished a three-night stay at the Nadesar Palace, which had just opened for business. We were literally the first guests, and, we're convinced not just because of that, treated royally. My bother-in-law and sister-in-law live in Mumbai, and my wife and I visit often from the United States. We've stayed at many Taj... more
