Book Top Hotels in Dashashwamedh Ghat,Varanasi

We traveled during Dev Deepavali (Karthik Purnima) when there is a very high rush in Varanasi. We traveled with parents and in laws and proximity to Dashashwamedh ghat was a must. We found this hotel while checking Google maps and booked directly with the hotel. The distance from the ghat would be less than 100 meters. We had food in the hotel and it was very good. They even provide non veg on special request. They can arrange boat rides and city tours, however, I would suggest everyone to check the prices independently before booking. One thing though, no cars are allowed post Gowdolia more, hence access from airport/station via car is limited to Gowdolia. From there, its either richshaw or on foot. The hotel was nice to send someone for pickup and he carried some of our luggage and guided us to the hotel. Overall, satisfied with the hospitality and would definitely recommend to people,

I am a solo female traveller, and I loved my stay at the Sri Omkar Palace. Sanjay and ALL of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful with every aspect of my seven-day stay: INCLUDING ensuring I had access to RT-PCR Covid testing in time for my flight back home. Air conditioning, wi-fi and hot water all worked perfectly without interruption the entire stay (which is an accomplishment for any establishment in this ancient city), and nice little touches like unlimited daily bottled water, toiletries, room service, really make this hotel stand out from other budget accommodations in the city. The hotel could not be better situated in terms of access to the ghats, or in terms of view: it is literally a two minute walk to the boats that would love to give you a scenic tour of the shoreline. The photos show the exact view most rooms have, either by private or shared balcony. One important thing to consider: if you are in any way challenged with mobility, this will NOT be a good place to stay. To get to the hotel, a cab drops you on the main drag, and you must walk about three to five minutes down ancient cobbled streets/alleys to reach the hotel entrance. To get to the main boardwalk of the ghats, you will have to descend about 75 very steep, sometimes slippery (with dust or water or both) steps. That having been said, if you want to truly experience authentic Varanasi in the company of a wonderful hotel staff and in the comfort of a good hotel with the most important amenities (AC, good bathroom, wi-fi), this is a fantastic choice.
