Dwivedi Hotels Palace On Steps - Varanasi

Recommend for a weekend getaway

Magnificent view, comfortable room, the restaurant offers delicious breakfast options with an amazing terrace view.

Everything was ideal.

Charming, Charming, Charming

I was completely captivated by the fine views of the Ganges right from my Ekaant Kashi room with a lovely balcony! The staff's hospitality was off the charts. They was like family, always ready to assist with anything I needed. And let me tell you, the evening meals while overlooking the river were magical 🌟🍽️

can recommend ❤️❤️

I liked the hotel, it's relaxing and safe and the location is beautiful close to airport. The room was practical and impeccably clean with private balcony, view on the Gang plus toiletries as expected. Location: the property was near the ghats of Ganges and Dwivedi Hotels palace.

It was practical, spacious and with balcony.

Location just cannot be better. Almost all rooms face the Ganges and have a balcony. Restaurant on the roof top is good and safe. Breakfast is an omlet, two toasts and tea (Ok for India). There is a observation roof one level above the restaurant to the right. Monkeys are everywhere. The restaurant is in a cage, so that they could not annoy you or steal your food. The room was clean. No bugs. No smell. Bed sheets are clean. Would stay there again.

No toilet paper. Bathroom is a showercabine size. When you are taking a shower everything in there gets wet. We did not take showers. Stayed two nights. The hotel is impossible to find without a guide. After a certain point you find yourself in the maze of narrow streets, and you are lost. We hired a taxi from the airport (prepaid - 580 rupees). The taxi driver handed us over to a rickshaw man who took us some other place. He did not speak English. When he saw that we were unhappy, he took us to some person who read our printout and told him where to go. He dropped us at some place and pointed out where to go (as he was not able to go there with his thing, streets are so narrow). Luckily, in the smelly maze of narrow streets, we met a guy who wanted to sell us drugs, and when we refused he agreed to take us to the hotel. We did not have a choice. Well, he did. We paid him 100 rupee. If you arrive by train or bus, the hotel staff will meet you at the station. The clue for finding it yourself: go to the central Ghats on the Ganges bank (in the center you can access Ghats by rickshaw or motorikshaw). Go down the stairs to the river. Facing the Ganges turn to the right and walk along the ghats for about 7-10 minutes. Look for a staircase ending with an arch in a yellow- grey building with columns and Rajiv Gandhi portrait on the wall apposite to you. Walk up the stairs and follow the path. The hotel is righ up there you will not miss it.

We had a lovely bedroom. Loved the cafe, where we had breakfasts.

Chill vibes with great views

The staff were super friendly and always eager to help out. The rooms felt a bit neglected, with some spider webs hanging around. Still, the location by the river made it all worth it.

It was an excellent place to enjoy the old city of Varanasi on the river front.

The information in the website provided by the hotel did not mention that it is not accessible by any vehicle, not even a cycle rickshaw. The last kilometer to the hotel can only be accessed by foot as the lanes are too narrow. I am physically challenged and so it took me by surprise. I found it extremely difficult to walk the distiance. I would not ahve booked it if I know of this. Please ensure that this fact is mentioned officially in the website.

Exceptionally nice breakfasts, and respectful staff.

neat place with magnificent view of the sunrise. perfect and incredible location by nature of being right on the ghats, easy to get around. and very close to shops in the old town alleys, the banks of ganges with dashashwamed ghat and local markets.

Had a blast with friends! The views of the river were amazing, and we loved exploring the nearby markets and the boat rides. Especially Vicki, were super friendly. The breakfast was tasty, and we appreciated the comfortable rooms.

Getting to the hotel was tricky since you need to walk through narrow alleys. It's manageable with light luggage, but it can be tough if you have heavy bags.

The location is ideal: a little steps from the Ganges!! Nice view from the rooms and the rooftop restaurant.

Getting to the hotel alone is impossible as the streets are tiny and form some kind of maze where you need to walk 20 minutes to arrive at your destination. The hotel itself is more than basic with no amenities: the bathroom does not have a sink, no hot water, the toilet seat was broken and the room full of died flies ... Apart from the great location, I would definitely not recommend this hotel ...

Good home base for exploring Varanasi. Brand-new and air-conditioned room with large bathroom and feather pillows. Good food and very efficient service. The early check-in.

Fine Ganges view and friendly staff, but accessing the hotel was tricky with luggage.

Some rooms are in old Palace Towers with top view over the river ganges. Restaurant with good view are o.k. You need porter for luggage transport to the Hotel or you have to walk with luggage 1 km trouth small and dirty bazar gangway. Not easy to find the place. Steps to the ganges river near by.

Nice service in hotel, a small restaurant inside, but be careful about the monkeys. It is very good view to see gange river just in your room.
