Top Varanasi Hotel Reviews

Taj Ganges, Varanasi

Taj Ganges, Varanasi

10/10 Excellent
"A delightful bit of luxury as a relief after a two-week tour using a range of fairly budget-style hotels! The staff were all very well trained and helpful, the room was great and the food we had while there was very good. Only slight disappointment was the pool area was definitely set up for exercise rather than relaxation - no comfortable spot to enjoy a drink or light meal outside there or anywhere around the extensive grounds."
