It’s an AMAZING palace located in the best part of Varanasi, a 5 minute walks to the ceremony sight and right on the ghat. We only planed 1 day stay but wish we had stayed longer. The staff made us feel like family and helped us make it to everything!! Ravi and the chef were super nice and accommodated our preferences making our dinner and breakfast unforgettable!!

Try to arrive during the day, so you can come by boat to the hotel. At night, the boats aren’t used, and you have to walk a considerable distance through dark narrow alleyways to reach the hotel from the nearest car. The rooms are a bit disappointing, small and not very luxurious, but clean. The food is delicious, with a wide variety of choices. The yoga instructor on the roof is sweet and does his best to encourage mind body connection. But it’s the location, with the ghats directly accessible by elevator, that makes this palace special.

If you want to experience Varanasi then Brijrama Hotel is a great place to call your home base! It is perfectly located in a beautiful former palace right on the river. They will provide a boat to take you up and down the river to watch and participate in one of the greatest spiritual traditions on earth!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Brijrama Palace during my visit to Varanasi. The hotel's location, just a short walk from the Vishwanath Mandir, was incredibly convenient. The Darbangha restaurant was a highlight, with delicious food and friendly staff. The manager and chef went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was delightful. A special mention goes to the panditji on staff who led the guests for the Ganga aarti. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Brijram Palace and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Varanasi.

The property and staff were wonderful, but there were some unexpected surprises. I did not know ahead of time that a car could not bring me directly to the hotel and I would have to take a boat. I enjoyed it much more on the return trip. All of the stuff was really wonderful, and I truly felt like I was an honored guest. The boatmen,Mamta and Khushi at reception, and everyone who worked in both restaurants were wonderful. Ongoing upgrades, especially the electrical outlets and switches in my room would make everything more convenient.
