This is one of best hotels I stayed in India. You can feel this special vibe, it feels like in 18th century. Very picturesque and nice location at the river. You need to take a boat to reach the hotel, which is provided by the hotel, this was a special start of our stay. Their Aam Panna (mango drink) is best. I had many :D

The yoga class at 5am is boring. It gives you a feeling " they are just tourists, they don't understand yoga, so just do some movements with them, and they will be happy ". The boat trip to Ganga Aarti is nice, but they tell you to meet at 5.45pm, you go to the boat and sit in the heat, but the boat departs at 6.30pm. So, just wait inside the building to avoid sweat and dehydration.

I reccomend booking the hotel car service, easy to find driver, felt safe and comfortable. You take a boat to get to the hotel which is an activity itself. When we arrived there were unexpected complimentry activities at different times of day which was such a value add. Frome henna to a flute player to a dancing couple and more. You won't find better hospitality either, every question, request or interaction was met with full attention. The breakfast is fantastic with many options of Indian breakfast, but also pancakes, eggs, fruit & pastries. Tea time was also included and included snacks. We enjoyed a beautiful roof top meal (ask about this) which was a nice change from the everyday restaurant. Basically if food a is a concern, you will never go hungry here. There are additional things that also made the stay lovely but I"ll leave those for you to discover. If we return to Varanasi we would absolutely stay here and reccomend to others.

It did not impact us, but be aware there are several stairs from the boat to the hotel entrance. It might be challenging for older travelers with knee issues but the hotel staff is FANTASTIC and take your luggage and would help you up.

I had an absolutely unforgettable stay at BrijRama Palace, Varanasi. From the smooth airport pickup to the breathtaking boat ride, everything was flawless. The boat journey gave me the chance to admire the stunning views of the Ganges, with the entire riverfront of Varanasi -Kashi unfolding before me, creating a magical and serene atmosphere. The private dinner on the terrace, with a panoramic view of the Ganges, was an extraordinary experience. Our waiter, Bikash, provided impeccable service, while the live music played on traditional instruments, including the sitar by Nikhil, added to the enchantment. The manager, Khushi, took exceptional care of our entire stay, ensuring every detail was perfect, not just during the dinner but throughout our visit. BrijRama Palace is the perfect blend of luxury and tradition. From the exquisite traditional Indian cuisine to the warm hospitality of the entire staff, everything exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to experience the charm and spirituality of Varanasi in a luxurious and welcoming setting.

Located on the banks of the Ganges, BrijRama Palace in Varanasi offers a breathtaking view of the river and the scenic dunes dotted with caravans of camels. Each morning, we enjoyed an excellent breakfast—whether traditional Indian cuisine or continental fare—accompanied by the soothing melodies of the Indian flute and the gentle sound of a canon. The evenings were equally magical, with live Indian dance and music performances that added to the enchanting atmosphere of this unique experience. The hotel itself is a magnificent palace, featuring exquisite rooms adorned with antique furniture that exudes timeless elegance. The staff is exceptionally attentive, and the dinner options are nothing short of extraordinary. I would gladly stay at BrijRama Palace again and wholeheartedly recommend it to friends seeking an unforgettable stay in Varanasi.

The Brijrama Palace Hotel is housed in a beautiful old stone palace situated on the bank of the River Ganges, located more or less in the midpoint of the long esplanade that connects the various ghats that line the river. To arrive at the hotel, your taxi takes you to the Namo Ghat, where you are met by one of the hotel's boats. During the 20 minutes or so that it takes to reach the hotel, a front desk employee points out the main sites along the way, in essence a mini guided tour. Our room, a Dhanurdhara Room, was across the hall from a terrace that overlooks the river, and it was exceptionally quiet. The room was tastefully done and while not particularly large, it was perfectly comfortable for two people. I especially liked that it had an espresso machine and the bathroom fixtures did not require an engineering degree to operate. It was clean and everything worked. Snacks and fruit are provided at no extra cost. Included in the price of the room was breakfast, high tea and a menu of diverse activities. Breakfast was adequate -- the food was very good although the selection was somewhat more limited than you find at larger five star hotels. We had lunch once in the dining room. The food was excellent, but overpriced. There is 24 hour room service, which is nice. A couple of policies that you should know about. All food is vegetarian only, and no alcohol is served. This was fine with us, as we do not drink and are vegetarian. Tipping is discouraged, and a five percent service surcharge is added to the bill and distributed to the staff. I find this perfectly satisfactory. Two things really stood out for us. First is the location. There is no better location possible. The hotel is right in the center of the esplanade. The best way to experience Varanasi is by walking the esplanade, and there is no other five star hotel along the ghats. The second thing was that the level of service was superb. Every employee without exception made us fee

The location of this hotel is fantastic right on the ghats and it is a great place to stay if you want to be close to the action in Varanasi. It is a beautiful old palace decorated in a very tasteful way with lovely terraces overlooking the Ganges. The food was very good with a wide choice. A good breakfast and afternoon tea were included in the room rate. The top floor terrace is a lovely place to have dinner in the evening. The service was very good with well trained staff. You arrive and leave the hotel by boat and it is a lovely way to start and end your stay. The hotel also arranged an excellent guide for us and evening and morning boat trips.

Our room was extremely small and it was expensive compared to other places we stayed in India

Beautiful hotel in best imaginable location. The food was amazing and most staff are very catering and accommodating.

We got kicked out of the hotel after spending 3 nights 4 days at Brijrama. Our flight was at 430 and were waiting in the lobby. We were forced to leave over 3 hours earlier after being lied to and told the airport was 2.5 hrs away due to traffic. We reached the airport by 230 and wasted another 2 hrs waiting for the flight. Imagine being kicked out of the lobby simply because another staff member is having a meeting right there!

Wasn't sure this place would be worth the value but it absolutely was- would definitely stay here again. Perfect location, right by all the important rites on the ghats, service was excellent, breakfast on the rooftop terrace overlooking the Ganges with flute player was so nice. They also have various dances, music, cultural things arranged there and it all felt in good taste as opposed to being gimmicky or overly touristy. Was very well done- highly recommend. Food was also delicious.

Great location, stunning property. Good breakfast with friendly service. Lots of little extras like a free foot massage, henna session, live music, in room gifts. And or course the boat to the evening ceremony- with insect repellent provided by the lad onboard. All great.

Bit of India but everyone was after a tip and, for example, you’ll be ‘handled’ by at least six people before arriving in room with baggage so it does get very tiring. Very basic gym with 3 dated / lightweight bits of equipment (despite the space to do more) and a terrace which no one uses because of the midges. Overall expensive for the facilities.
