Breakfast was excellent, lot of variety and people in breakfast area/restaurant were very nice and cooperative. One day we were late and got there for 10.30am when breakfast was over however the manager in there attended to us gladly and was very pleasant. He got us made fresh breakfast that we requested and served us. he was very kind and pleasant. next morning he called into both rooms and requested us to come for breakfast. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast and staff service.

The location of the hotel was inconvenient for us as we were family of four and had 8 bags luggage. It was not clear from website when i was booking the hotel that we need a boat to get to and from the hotel. The car does not go up to the hotel and so it was very tedious and expensive. we had to coordinate and call hotel 30minutes before the time we need the boat and the car can only come to a certain point at the Ganges. From that point to the boat it is atleast 12-14 minutes walk and that was hard in the heat. Boat ride took also 15 minutes to get to hotel. Each ride we had to pay!!!! this was not included in the hotel booking price. This was very expensive & inconvenient and had i known this fact, i would have chosen a hotel near Ganges that was straight away accessible by car.

Wow! This 18th century renovated riverside mansion is amazing!! Our room was amazing with views over the Ganges. The staff all went out of their way to help and were very friendly. It was very handy to have access to the hotel boat which made it much easier to get to the sunset aarti show rather than walking through the alleyways. The boat men were so lovely. Communication before arrival was excellent.

If you have trouble with stairs or a lot of luggage then this probably isn't a good option. Also getting to and from the property daily through the tiny maze of alleyways is a challenge (we loved it but some probably wouldn't). The cost of they property is quite high.

Great location on the Ganges Authentic western food in the afternoon snacks Excellent service by everyone connected to the Hotel

When you are in Varanasi, and you choose to stay close to the river, you have no choice but to walk the stairs. That's a pain. Hotel arranges a boat whenever one needs, but one will miss walking in the city if one is not ready to climb stairs.

The hotel's location is absolutely spot on. The staff is helpful, kind, and always on the ball. Food at the Terrace restaurant was some of the best we had in all of India.

The bathroom could have better lighting. Apart from that, we absolutely loved everything about the hotel!

Great location , if you want to enjoy the ghats, great view of Gangaji. Staff were very friendly a nd helpful and this contributed to a great stay at the place. Good selection of breakfast and great ambience. We enjoyed our stay.

Cleanliness of the bath and the bathroom could be improved .

Incredible hotel with great architecture and breathtaking view on Ganga river. Location and stuff 100/10.

I loved my stay in the hotel. I had most incredible stay in this spiritual holy city. The view from breakfast on the top terrace is beautiful.

The hotel ambience was good. it had a medieval look. The rooms were a bit small. The staff were very courteous and prompt to response. The food was good though very limited items. The view of the river ganga from the room is mesmerizing and makes it even more worth staying at this hotel.

The hotel is accessible only by boat and by walk. The walk to the hotel from main road is nearly about half kilometer and takes 15 to 20 min through the narrow lanes of benaras. After dark it becomes bit scary to walk through the lanes.

A serene place in a bustling environment. The hotel is very clean. The staff ,especially Wasem, were sweet and welcomed me with a scarf as a gift. Chocolates and fruits are presented in your room as well. The location is close to the main gang where the arti ceremony takes place. I just loved my stay.

Nothing✨

Guleria Kothi is a gorgeous hotel. The location is superb and the view is incredible as the hotel is perched on the Ram Ghat overlooking the Ganga. Access to the kothi is by boat so that adds to the mystique. The building is from the 1700's and some rooms are lovingly restored with beautiful original materials and highlights. The food is amazing and you can enjoy breakfast seated under a 'chhatri' and watch the misty Ganga.

Sadly, the lower category rooms are quite shabby and need some TLC so make sure you ask for rooms on the 3rd floor.

This is the best location to expirence the soul of Benaras / Ganges. The access is only via a boat and beats the city crowd. All of the Ghats are very easily approchable by the boat.
