We arrived with no expectations, but the entire experience turned out to be truly wonderful. From the warm and attentive staff to the relaxing spa, everything exceeded what we had imagined. The food was exceptional—whether it was the delicious Sattu Paratha at breakfast, the flavorful dinner thali, or the beautifully curated 10-course tasting menu.

The highlights didn’t stop there. The Banarasi paan was the perfect finishing touch, and the cultural experiences added so much charm—from soulful sitar and sarangi performances to the captivating Kathak dance and even an insightful session with the astrologer.

The location itself was magical. The boat ride along the ghats, the genuine care from the staff, and the breathtaking night-time Maha Aarti viewed from the boat made for an unforgettable, mesmerizing experience.

This entire journey has left me with a deep desire to return to Varanasi again and again.

We booked two rooms in January of 2026. This hotel is an unbelievably beautiful property. We truly felt that we traveled back in time and felt like royalties. The ambiance, amenities, staff, service, food..just WOW !!! Will highly highly recommend this place to anyone who travels to Varanasi. It is right on Ganga ji and they have complementary ferries to any ghat you wish to visit..

This rustic boutique hotel lends to the history of Banaras and it is an experience to be right on the Ghats and take part in all of the prayers.
A big shoutout to Kushi for looking into all our requests.
Highly recommend this place for the hospitality and the location.

Brijrama Palace is a stunning heritage palace on the Ganges that delivered exactly the kind of unforgettable stay I had hoped for. Everything about the property – from its architecture and ambience to the views and experiences – feels carefully crafted and truly special. From the moment we were met at the airport by the inimitable Rakesh, we felt completely looked after, and that care continued seamlessly through to our final drop-off.

The private boat ride on the Ganga to the hotel’s own ghat set the scene perfectly and made our arrival feel magical. The welcome at the palace and the way the staff greeted us, always with warm, genuine and accommodating smiles, made us feel like treasured guests rather than just visitors. We stayed in the Maharaja Room, which was exceptional: spacious, elegant and full of character, with a gorgeous bathroom and every comfort we could have hoped for. Everything about our stay was truly fit for a king and queen and made us feel as though we were living like royalty.

The food was excellent, with delicious dishes that matched the setting, and all the experiences offered through the hotel were thoughtfully curated and thoroughly enjoyable. From the riverside setting to the cultural touches and quiet moments of calm, it all added up to something far more than just a hotel stay. This was an unforgettable experience and one of the best hotel stays we have ever had. Highly, wholeheartedly recommended.

Very expensive. Elegant hotel. Room and bathrooms are very good. Food in Udyan and Dharbhanga is quite good. Access is only by boat. Lots of luggage will be a problem. All boats and boat drivers are not equal. Plan departures accounting for the boats and the traffic. Staff are eager and polite but they need more hospitality coaching.

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.

We paid Rs. 50 K per night for three nights in this hotel and were expecting a five start stay. It is far from that. The staff is inadequately trained. My internet was not working in the room and I had t take an important business zoom call. I had to cancel it. The reception told me there were jammers deployed around property and that’s the reason. Later upon pushing them to fix the issue they realised their WIFi was not working in other rooms as well while it was working in the lobby and at reception. I called the spa for booking. They told me they will call me shortly. Then never called back. I had to follow up. The staff training about how to take care of guests is really not there. This property is not worth 50K a night. It’s a complete rip off. I have stayed in Oberoi / ITC / Taj many times and their service at half that room rate is phenomenal. The owners / promoters of this hotel need to deeply evaluate what value they are bringing to the guests at that price point.

I can't say enough about our recent stay at Brijrama Palace in Banaras. We were there for Shree Kashi Viswanath Darsan, and from the moment we arrived, we were completely captivated by the palace's stunning location right on the banks of the sacred Ganga. It truly feels like a place that embodies the spirit of Banaras, and our time there was amazing.
The food was a major highlight. Chef Akhilesh is a genius in the kitchen—every dish was fantastic, but the Gulab Jamun was a true standout. It tasted exactly the way it's supposed to, with a genuine hint of rose. Our server, Bikas, was incredibly kind and took such good care of us in the restaurant. The best part, though, was when Chef Akhilesh came out personally to see how we liked the food and even offered to make us something we’d like for our next meal. That kind of personal attention is just incredible.
What really set this hotel apart was the genuine warmth of the staff. Traveling with our five-month-old baby, we were a little stressed about logistics. But the housekeeping team went above and beyond, kindly helping with sterilizing our baby’s milk bottles. Plus, they were so helpful in arranging a wheelchair for darshan for one of our parents who had accessibility issues. Their thoughtfulness took a huge weight off our shoulders and let us just relax and enjoy our trip.
The whole vibe of the palace is peaceful and welcoming. The staff's dedication to making guests feel at home is what makes this place so special. I wholehe

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.

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.

Brijrama is a unique property primarily due to its location. No place can come close to its convenience and proximity to Kashi’s holy sites. Its location also creates challenges with accessibility. We had sr citizens with us and climbing the stairs from ghaat wasn’t easy. Overall experience was positive. Food was good. Service was slow for some reason. They need to add staff to the kitchen or restaurant. Driver Rakesh was very helpful

Very expensive, but does not really meet expectations. Guests arrive by boat as cars can't reach the property due to its location directly on the Ganges in old Varanasi. The Ganges had flooded during our stay, so the boat entry was cancelled. Two rickshaws and 10 minutes walking did not make for a good start. The flooding, of course, cannot be helped. It should not be held against the hotel. However, the vast majority of the rooms have no views. The BrijRama is licked in on three sides by older, runned-down buildings. Our view was a wall about 4 feet away. Only the 4 suites have Ganges views. Horrible, when you pay $550 per night. The staff was wonderful, and tried their best to make up for our disappointment. The hotel gets 5 stars based on the strength of the staff itself. Very nice, helpful, friendly, professional, and exceptional.

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.

Overrated- not comfortable for elderly.

Staff was helpful when you have questions. And the check-in process could be much smoother. They should provide the information on the local attractions. It's very overrated based on the money you spend!! The process to drop off was very horrible. It took us out from e-riksha from small rough lanes where we witness man was peeing openly. I don't understand why they could not drop off where they picked up in the boat. Highest being guessed, but they cannot have a clean passage for elderly people to walk. Disorganized.. . Treat guests as numbers and fake concerns.. Disappointed!

This property is amazing. We were there May 26th and 27th. They picked us up from the airport. From Namo ghat they take you in a boat to the hotel. We were in time for their high tea - they thoroughly spoil you. Later in the afternoon, it rained quite heavily, so it was very pleasant and went in the hotel arranged boat to see the Ganga Aarthi- It was amazing. We almost had a front row seat to one of the most spectacular ceremonies. Next day, because of the rising temperatures , we left at 6am to temples ( I had made my own arrangements) , came back for breakfast ( very deliciously and staff is so hospitable) and then left for a couple of hours to see BHU and Sankat Mochan temple. We were back by 11:30 - the heat was unbearable. So we relaxed in the hotel - I got my free mehndi done .Little later we went and got our free foot massage done ( they are very good at it) . Then I signed up for neck and shoulder massage and head massage ( I thoroughly enjoyed it). Later in the evening we went for a walk - you can walk along the banks of Ganges endlessly from the hotel (simply breathe taking) and at night we took a bath in the Ganges. The hotel staff took very good care of us. Attended to each and every whim and fancy (of mine!)Their service is par excellence. Food was excellent. I loved our room. I got to watch the dance program in the evening for a bit. They have no tipping policy. On the 28th I had to leave for Gaya at 4:30am. They made all arrangements. Love this hotel.

Fabulous location. Right on the Ganges at the Ghats. Clearly the best hotel in Varanasi to experience all of the rites on the Ganges without spending all your time in a cab getting to and from your hotel. It truly is a palace. Staff is very, very attentive. Will definitely stay here on return to Varanasi

From the time of our arrival , right till our departure, we were treated like royalty :) The staff were amazing, going out of their way to meet every whim and fancy I may have had. The food was exquisite . Would definitely have loved to stay forever, but reality was calling :)

Fabulous stay in exotic location

Beautifully restored historical building with so many interesting interior design details of antiques like sculptures, paintings, carpets, furniture and chandeliers. Our room, although on the smaller side, was comfy and clean. The king bed was good. They brought us extra pillows. The shower was hot and good pressure. Complimentary amenities were good quality - bathroom toilettries and free minibar treats. Coffeemaker in room. We made early morning coffee and took it out on the rooftop to sip and watch the Ganges activity. Good aircon in the room. Many indian and western items on restaurant menu. We loved the mushroom pizza, thin crust. Breakfast buffet is good, eggs to order. Great free boat ride to see Ganga aarti @ 6pm. Enjoyed evening 1/2 hour classical indian dance in the hotel. Staff were super friendly. Always a 'namaste' to welcome you. A special shoutout to Sandeep at reception for his humour and always smiling. I will always have fond memories and hope to return to Brijrama.

Great common area, service is great (really appreciate the hotel having its own boat and taxi service). The room was a bit worn in.
