While researching for a place to stay in Varanasi, the 2 most important things which we looked for were firstly, the location – we wanted to stay by to the Ganges River itself, near the Main Ghat (Dasaswamedh), if possible, and secondly, to have a view of the River and its happenings directly from our room. Due to these 2... More

You couldn't possibly ask for a hotel with a better location in Varanasi than this one. It is located right on the Ganges in the middle of the most spectacular ghats of the city. The pick-up from the airport went well and hotel employees will carry your luggage for the last 100 meter (cars are not allowed to enter the... More

Most important....stay in a hotel in the Old City on the river; do not stay in Cantonment area. You will miss the experience of seeing and walking the ghats, streets and alleys of Varanasi. The trip from Cantonment to the river takes about 1/2 hour....traffic is horrific within the city. Best location right on the Ganges River with a comfortbale... More

The only reason to stay in this hotel is for the fabulous location over looking the Ganges. I do believe its slightly overpriced given the size of the rooms, the relatively poor services from the staff but most people come here to see the holy river and Indian life that happens around the river so the location is fantastic.

My husband and I were in Varanasi one year ago (2011) and spent 6 days in Varanasi. LOVED IT. Stayed at Rashmi - they picked us up at the airport (seamless) and we had arranged ahead of time to hire Pappu as a guide. So glad we did!! He was great! Very friendly and accommodating. He guided us through this... More

We loved our stay at the Rashmi Guest House. It is situated right on the river next to some of the most active ghats and a few minutes walking from the old city, burning ghats and nightly ceremonies. The rooms are clean with powerful ac units. The staff was very nice and if you can make the climb to the... More

Our room was a bit small compared to the price we paid. Apart from that Rashmi guesthouse is a great place, also because of it's location as close as you can be te the... More

Probably the best location in whole of kashi, 5 mins walk from Vishwanath golden temple, and bang opposite Ganga. Had stayed for a night here, and paid around 60$ , but when I entered the room , I was really disappointed because of the size of the room. Toilet was dirty and small, and the price which I paid felt... More
