We have just returned from a week at the Ritz Carlton. The hotel is magnificent and we have never experienced such incredible service before. It was so lovely that it was hard to drag ourselves away from the hotel to go to the theme parks at all. In fact we didn't bother with Disney , having been before and just... more

At first glance we noticed the tired decor and the slightly grubby carpets but we still enjoyed our two nights in this faded relic of past glories because the service was good and the restaurant very good. Varanasi isn't the cleanest place but is fascinating and the hotel provides peace away from the noise and crowds. The hotel shop has... more

Varanasi was always going to be a cultural visit - not a resort type city for western travellers as it is one of India's oldest and most important religious destinations. The Ganges and the Ghats were fascinating especially when seen from the rowboats on the river itself. A place teeming with people wanting to carry out their prayers and pilgrimage... more

I stayed 2 nights at the Gateway, whilst the hotel is past it's prime (as an ex Taj), it is still clean and quiet. and the staff and services more than make up for it. I am not sure why a previous reviewer had noise problems as we didn't. I had arranged for an airport pick up (847Rp) and was... more

We stayed one night at this property. Our room was clean and no frills, but we were amazed at the unclean condition in both the restaurants. Why can't they take a sponge and scour the dried food off the doors to the kitchen. The waiters uniforms also had dried food on them as well. The landcaping was poorly maintained as... more

The Gateway Hotel, which i regularly visit, is one of the finest hotel available in the Varanasi region. the most exciting about it is that they are having their own garden and the walkway is excellent. another attraction is that the hospitality which tey offer is unparallel. i would recommend any visitor who visits this holy city, must stay in... more
