We had a three night stay in the POG. We arrived by train into Mughalsarai station which is on the other side of the river. After an interesting drive in a taxi across the pontoon bridge we arrived at POG an immediately had to pay the Rs25 parking fee! Our room was comfortable with a good bathroom but it appears... more

Palace on Ganges was a pick by my travel partner who had read a brief snippet on this newly opened hotel. Four years later I am starting to see it reviewed in the guide books. Located overlooking the River Ganges, at Assi Ghat, the hotel is away from the main action yet only a boat ride away. Walk up the... more

As intrepid explorers, venturing into the heartland of India we could have not expected or wanted a more friendly and helpful reception than the one we received from the staff at The Palace on the Ganges (with interestingly themed rooms).

If you want to stay near the ghats in Varanasi, and I would recommend doing so, Palace on Ganges is one of the few decent options. The hotel is near Assi Ghat, which is at the southern end of the long line of ghats, and a five second walk to the river. You really are in the thick of things,... more

My friend and I stayed here for a few nights in February 09. It is a lovely place, a little pricey though. We had no complaints about the cleanliness and service. It is located in an ideal spot at the end of the river. This means that you have ease of transport yet are walking distance from the ghats. There... more

With no deposit or credit card details required, Internet bookings via email seem a little vague. Stayed at The Palace on the Ganges (POTG) for four nights and am still not sure whether the rooms I booked via the internet were actually reserved for us - or whether we were just lucky in that rooms were available when we arrived???... more
