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.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Brijrama Palace during my visit to Varanasi. The hotel's location, just a short walk from the Vishwanath Mandir, was incredibly convenient. 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.

the place is outstanding! It is an oasis in the chaotic, frenzied city of Veranasi. The staff are well trained, attentive, eagerly to please and friendly but respectful. In particular Kushi at the front desk is a problem solver.

Okay absolutely loved the location and the staff pretty much make the hotel. Excellent detail to attention and everyone so helpful but…since we came when Ganges was flooded, we had to walk through dirty alleyways to get to the hotel. The alleyways were unsafe and no way we could get to and from the hotel without help from staff.

Brijrama Palace is one of the most beautiful heritage hotel.. unless you enter in hotel, u can't imagine what lies inside. The hospitality, comfort, food and staff is beyond imagination. We are coming back soon. Location is on ghat and they have boats for transportation but on festival day, reaching hotel can be challenge. Over all 10 put of 10

This hotel is located overlooking the Ganges River, but quiet and peaceful. After walking along the Ganges River, the staff and the place bring a sense of relief. The hotel also hosts several cultural events where you can experience the wonderful Indian culture bit by bit, allowing guests to participate in those events while staying at the hotel.

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!
