We staiyed 2 nights in AC rooms. Views are ok, thas the only good point. Bathrooms where probably the worst we have seen in our 20 day trip to India. Most of the time in cheaper hotels/guesthouses. The toilet expulse water every time you use it!. The shower inundate the bathroom and even the room. The owner is allways with... more

I stayed in Shiva Ganges View from 5th April, 2008 to 6th April, 2008. The guest house is in the wonderful location just near the the river Ganga ghat. The balcony view as well as bedroom view for the river Ganga were amazing. The food was awesome. The home made thali was just amazing! The Tandonji's smiles and his caring... more

If you dream of waking up to a view of the Ganges, this is one of the places you should consider. Right on the river, a little away from the frenetic activity, with heaps of character. Clean enough, with reliable electricity and water. The owner's father sounded racked with TB, his coughing resounding around the inner courtyard, was somewhat alarming.... more

I stayed here for three nights with my son. And what a great experience it was. The location is great - just metres from the Ganges. The room was fine - clean and comfortable with a small shared balcony. The rooftop terrace is a great place for a beer at sunset. We were picked up at the airport at 9.00... more

Seriously overpriced, although we were told you pay dearly to be on the ghats. The owner is eager to please, but he’s also out to get as much of your money as he can. You will do better to stay a short rickshaw ride away from the gats and bring your accommodation costs down to a fraction of what you... more

Shiva Ganges View is a nice, calm place. It's well run and our stay was very pleasant. The room had a fantastic view and the staff were keen to ensure a pleasant stay. As others have said, there was a definite push to "buy", which became a bit wearing but it wasn't too hard to handle, aside from on that... more

We booked directly with Tandon and it was quite simple. He picked us up personally at the airport for a fee (we though was included in the service). The location of the hotel is fantastic. Right on the ghats, you have the entire Ganges to yourself. The rooftop is fantastic place to sit and look over the river and watch... more

While TripAdvisor reviews had been pretty uniformly positive about this lodging , another India trvel-centric website had a more mixed bag of reviews. We had a number of mails with the owner- Tandon about what SPECIFICALLY was included and not included in our price, so we fel like there would be no surprises once we arrived. An true to form,... more

I booked this after seeing it recommended on Alasdair Sawday's website. We arranged to be met at the airport, which I think was useful as you have to walk to the hotel from the main street through a labyrinth of narrow streets and, frankly, you need a guide first time! The hotel is a superb old house, with a great... more
