A hotel full of character, a real Indian experience with terraces that overlook the Ganges and rooms off the air conditioned enclosed patios where you can escape the heat. I really enjoyed staying at this quieter ghat where you could either walk along the river enjoying the sights and activities along the way or take a boat ride along the... More

Look, it's not the Four Seasons. But I was entranced by Ganges View. My little room, like a jewel box of green and blue glass windows, had a small enclosed patio that jutted out over the ghat, and also housed a few bats that slept there during the day. It was a small space, and in the 110+ degree heat... More

Hotel Ganges View has a top location at the important but relaxed, not too oppressively religious Assi Ghat, in a quiet car free street leading to the ghat. This beautiful former home of an art loving family that built it 85 years ago is a gorgeous colonial style house full of art with even a small library mainly devoted to... More

Our stay at the Gange Hotel started pleasant with the hotel picking us up at the airport in a decent car (900 rupees). The hotel is at the Assgi Ghat which is the last one. The hotel, is much like all the buildings in Varanasi being it is narrow and multi-leveled. If you are older or a bit handicapped it... More

This hotel is the perfect stay in Varanasi. It is in front of the Gange in a nice and quite gath. The rooms are clean and confortable. There is a big terrace where you can enjoy not just the view, but the night, the sunset and any single moment of your day in varanasi. It is also a perfect place... More

I stayed at this hotel once in 2008 during monsoon season, it was empty and easy to walk in and get a room. Since that time, I have tried three times to book a reservation as we would like to come back. The first time, I was told bookings cannot be made more than six months in advance. So when... More

stayed here Feb 2013. beautifully appointed hotel with wonderful attentive staff. The upper patio overlooking the Assi Ghat was a blend of beautiful wood marble and potted flowers that transport you from the crowds of the ghats.Assi Ghat being at the end of Varanasi make a suberb place to be if one wants to be right on the ghats. Quiet... More

Hotel Ganges View on Assi Ghat in Varanasi is an enchanting "haveli" perched above Assi Ghat, upstream of the riverside "ghats". As a haveli, an old Mughal style townhouse around a courtyard, it is a beautiful building. The courtyard is now enclosed and roofed over, and provides a splendid main dining-room, where breakfast includes really good porridge for those who... More

My review is based on my stay there a year ago, so I hope service has improved since then (but from reader recent reviews, this doesn't seem the case). This is a beautiful hotel full of atmosphere. I loved the terrace and the meals were just superb. We met many interesting people over many meals here. However, I feel that... More
