Very comfortable and spacious room with high ceiling heritage property, which is quite well-known by the local people. Beautiful design and great customer service. Personalized breakfast option included in the price. Great value for money. One minute walking distance to the Ghat and reach to the Ganges River bank. Highly recommended for this special Guest House.

A calm and peaceful place in Varanasi with direct access to the Ganges. The hosts were wonderfully and caring. Even a boat trip for sunrise was arranged by the senior chef the evening before. Thank you. The room was clean and space. And the dinner we had two evenings was very tastefully. I recommend this special place.

We spent two wonderful days in Varanasi. After all the impressions from that colorful, saint town it is fantastic to return to the quiet caring place of Shiva Ganges View. We had the room at the top of the building, which was large and had everything. Of course it is not a 5 Star hotel, but if you are looking for something original, this is the best place to be. The house is located in the old town, directly next to the river Ganges. The owner is so nice and he arranged everything we needed, like a boat trip or massages. We dined twice here. The food was marvellous, honest delicious Indian food. We would very much like to recommend this wonderful place.

Epic location. Right next to the riverside. If you book in advance you can get a room with Ganges view where you can see the sunrise. Really nice family hotel. People are kind. Always up for helping and pretty much have you sorted for any of your needs. Be it scheduling an arrival/departure taxi, home cooked food, bottled water, tour services, etc. Would definitely recommend to stay here.
