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.

Best Location in Varanasi Beautiful palace full of history, with easy access to explore and be fully immersed in life and local cultural activities. 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.

It’s an AMAZING palace located in the best part of Varanasi, a 5 minute walks to the ceremony sight and right on the ghat. We only planed 1 day stay but wish we had stayed longer.

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!

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.

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.

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.
