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.

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.

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. The staff made us feel like family and helped us make it to everything!! Ravi and the chef were super nice and accommodated our preferences making our dinner and breakfast unforgettable!!

Not accessible- avoid
Access to the property is terrible. 30 mins of walk through the very narrow and unhygienic lanes.
The property itself is good and the staff is super helpful.
However the access situation to go in and out absolutely crushed our experience. Not recommended.

Brijrama Palace is a stunning heritage palace on the Ganges that delivered exactly the kind of unforgettable stay I had hoped for. Everything about the property – from its architecture and ambience to the views and experiences – feels carefully crafted and truly special. From the moment we were met at the airport by the inimitable Rakesh, we felt completely looked after, and that care continued seamlessly through to our final drop-off.
The private boat ride on the Ganga to the hotel’s own ghat set the scene perfectly and made our arrival feel magical. The welcome at the palace and the way the staff greeted us, always with warm, genuine and accommodating smiles, made us feel like treasured guests rather than just visitors. We stayed in the Maharaja Room, which was exceptional: spacious, elegant and full of character, with a gorgeous bathroom and every comfort we could have hoped for. Everything about our stay was truly fit for a king and queen and made us feel as though we were living like royalty.
The food was excellent, with delicious dishes that matched the setting, and all the experiences offered through the hotel were thoughtfully curated and thoroughly enjoyable. From the riverside setting to the cultural touches and quiet moments of calm, it all added up to something far more than just a hotel stay. This was an unforgettable experience and one of the best hotel stays we have ever had. Highly, wholeheartedly recommended.
