Dwivedi Hotels (Sri Omkar Palace)

This hotel is on the chausatti Ghat , Bengali Tola. It 's a 10 mins walk from where you'll be dropped but its not difficult to find it on the google map. The stay is comfortable and the staff was helpful as per your needs but don't be fooled by their kindness. However , the manager/owner of the hotel recommended us travelling the ghats by boat and he managed to take 1200 from us . What he did not realise that we would catch him on the act. The boat ride is 700 if you take a private boat which i feel it depends on boat to boat as there are different ranges . He handed him 700 and took the rest of the amount . He will offer you sarees and its highly recommended not to purchase anything referred by him. Commission is common there . Second , the house keeping was really poor . We stayed for 3 days and no one showed up To clean the rooms . They will give you darshan assistance but remember not to take that as they have commissions there as well because they will offer you to get mahaprasad . You can buy yourself on the day you go to the temple . Google map will help you to find your way or just ask them to show the way out and rest you will figure it out .

This is an excellent hotel just beside the Ganges with an amazing view of the ghats. The hotel and rooms are so clean with all amenities available. The service is prompt and warm. One has to walk through the narrow Benaras ki Gali to reach the hotel. But once you reach the hotel it is a place of peace and tranquility by the ganges. The lobby area is beautifully and tastefully decorated. Our room had a common balcony and a window facing the river with good view. One can spend time sitting by the window or in the balcony watching the river side activities. The terrace has an even better view but be ware of the langurs. The best way to reach the hotel is by walking through the Dasaswamedh Ghat to Chausatthi Ghat and climb up the steep stairs and a left turn through the gali if one does not wants to walk all the way through the narrow gali. The food served is tasty but the price is high.

It is a very well maintained property . Neat and clean . View from terrace of the ganges is very beautiful. Right on the banks of ganges and very close to Dashswamedh ghat . Food is good . They arrange everything from pick and drop from airport/city tour/boat rides/vishwanath darshan at reasonalble cost. Only thing is that you have to walk five minutes from road to reach the hotel with your luggage so call them before hand but this is the case of every hotel here to get close to ganges. Sometimes walking in benaras ki gallis is also has a friitful feeling .

stayed in there best room "Kailash Suite",very spacious with nice wooden sitting arrangements. river view is clear from the room (one can go down to chousthi ghat from the stairs nearby to the hotel). Free WiFi (though no one uses WiFi now a days 😉) and delicious breakfast. Only negative point is it is at end of narrow lane from main road (atleast a km of walk) but then that's what Varanasi is.
