" Best Location in Varanasi Beautiful palace full of history, with easy access to explore and be fully immersed in life and local cultural activities. Great Spa services In particular we would like to give a special mention to Ashutosh on front desk,Fahad in the restaurant who made an extra effort to converse with us in Spanish and his colleagues Sandeep & Sourav. Plus the skilled hands of the Spa team who soothed our aching backs and tired feet."

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."
