Beautiful old building with breathtaking entrance from the river only. Rooms are small but comfortable, very clean.Service is great, no hassle booking directly at the hotel. A bit more on the expensive side, but worth every Rs. Location is in a more quiet area to the north along the Ghats. You can walk along the Ganges to reach the main... More

This hotel is really worth that little bit more that you pay for it - its a haven right on the Ganges in the heart of Varanasi. The staff were friendly and very professional, and the hotel was clean, very comfortable and in a great location. The only way to/from the hotel is by boat, which is the best way... More

The hotel is accessed by a short trip (10 minutes) up the Ganges in a small passenger ferry provided by the hotel and is ideally located for taking in the sights of Varanasi and the surrounding area. The Jukaso is a stunning piece of architecture, a refurbished palace that is far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Varanasi... More

The hotel itself is of a decent standard and the staff are nice. Food was just ok but without exception the location is sublime. You are at the banks of the Ganges and the sights in the very early morning and evening will stay with us always just amazing. Enjoy.

The Jukaso Ganges is a beautiful renovated four-story palace right on the Ganges, reachable only by boat or walking. It is absolutely peaceful and romantic, and at the opposite end of Varanasi from most tourists. The public areas are gorgeous, with an inner courtyard perfect for sitting in the evening, a gorgeous terrace with amazing views, and its own temple... More

I agree with all the positive comments regarding this hotel: excellent riverside location in heart of Varanasi, yet actually in a very quiet and peaceful spot. Small boutique style rooms, old palace style-the second floor of which contains a private functioning temple to Vishnu (visited by the priest and hotel guests only). It's in a prime location, just a few... More

Hotel is reached primarily through boat from the river side. Area as rest of Varanasi is cramped and dirty. Hotel is a clean and well kept oasis in the middle. Food though leaves a lot to be desired. Restaurant serves only vegetarian as all places do on the ghats. But that should not be limiting as the cuisine at the... More

We stayed here for two nights, 9th & 10th February 2013 at the start of a month in India. It is a beautifully renovated old palace, situated right on the banks of the Ganges. It does not have accessability by car/coach etc. Access is by boat, you will need to be dropped at certain ghats and if you call the... More
