The rooftop view was breathtaking, especially at sunset. Plus, the family-run vibe made it feel cozy!

Felt cared for, no complaints whatsoever.

The stunning view of the Ganges from the balcony made our stay remarkable. However, navigating the narrow alleys was quite tricky, especially without help.

The experience at Shiva Ganges View was memorable, particularly due to the breathtaking views of the Ganges from our room balcony. The hospitality truly stood out. from the excellent airport shuttle service to the supportive staff who helped with any questions we had during our stay. The location provided easy access to nearby ghats and attractions, making our explorations very convenient. The room had a comfortable bed, but the noise from the street outside was a bit disruptive. Breakfast options were rather limited, which could be improved. The guesthouse has steep steps, typical for the area, so be prepared for a little workout when navigating to the upper floors. Overall, a unique and charming experience with some room for enhancement in food offerings.

The rooftop view overlooking the river is a standout feature, especially during sunrise and sunset. The rooms offer a traditional Indian design and are well-decorated, allowing for a unique ambiance.

Access is a major hassle. navigating the narrow, dirty lanes can be tricky, particularly with luggage or for older travelers. Lights can go out often, which means air conditioning might not keep up during peak heat. The shower setup can be inconvenient, and banging noises from the bed in Room 3 can disrupt sleep. Additionally, there's no minibar or fridge, and the steep stairs make getting to the upper floors an exhausting trek.

We had an unforgettable time at this guest house! The rooftop yoga center overlooking the Ganges was a highlight, and the extremely warm staff made us feel at home. Definitely check out the local spots and ask for tips from the owner. Loved the authentic feel and great breakfast.

Be aware that access to the guest house can be tricky. it’s hard to find your way without a guide due to complicated alleyways. So, ensure you have someone to help you navigate those narrow streets!

the shower was just a faucet on the wall (weird). but the location is perfect, right on the ganges! great view from the room and very friendly staff. breakfast was tasty too.

Strong Wi-Fi, delicious in-room breakfast, but street noise can be bothersome at times.

100% recommend for a city escape

Comfortable room, exceptional service, with a helpful staff that assisted with luggage and provided great recommendations, all while enjoying the delightful outdoor dining area overlooking the river.

We had the best room on the top floor, spacious with great Gang views, and enjoyed delicious meals on the terrace. The staff were super helpful and made us feel at home, assisting with everything from laundry to local tips. The charm of the old building is unmatched, and the evening boat cruise organized by the guest house was a memorable experience.

It may be noisy at night.

the location offers easy access to the water for a morning stroll. the noise from the street can be distracting.

The room was spacious with high ceilings and a gorgeous balcony facing the Ganges. The staff was incredibly accommodating, providing everything from food to laundry. The walk through the winding alleys felt like an authentic Varanasi experience, making it truly special for my father and me.

My kids wished there was a playground nearby.

The experience was enhanced by the spacious and clean room with a lovely balcony offering stunning views of the river. Dining on homemade meals prepared by a talented chef was a highlight, especially the breakfast options that featured tasty parathas. However, the narrow lanes leading to the stay can be challenging to navigate without help, and street noise was disruptive at times. Additionally, the access to higher floors requires some determination due to steep steps.

will definitely visit place next time.

Spacious, clean Deluxe Room with air conditioning and a lovely balcony overlooking the Ganges. Amenities like a refrigerator, tea kettle, and free toiletries were a plus. Breakfast was delightful, and the fantastic service made us feel right at home. A cool shower and comfy bed rounded out a perfect stay!
