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

If you want to experience Varanasi then Brijrama Hotel is a great place to call your home base! It is perfectly located in a beautiful former palace right on the river. They will provide a boat to take you up and down the river to watch and participate in one of the greatest spiritual traditions on earth!

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.

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.
