The initial room that I was allocated was on the main floor; drak, dungy and smelled badly after sewage. I tried to leave the hotel after one day, but management did not approve a refund for the other four days that I had booked. Through Expedia.The pictures are not representative of the main floor rooms. Expect Indian 2 star standard. The hotel location is quite good, at the Ganges and close to Assi Ghat. There is a thing though with cleanliness and disrepair and Indian culture and standards. The very friendly Indian staff just seems to have a blind eye for dirt and broken and damaged things, even though they hang around and have lots of time to fix things, clean things, and make them look good. I guess that is more of a European and North American expectation. Very helpful and friendly staff though.

A very disappointing experience!
This hotel is well located but that is where the good news stops! service is terrible, rooms are spacious but not maintained well. we had to ask for soap and toilet paper (which were then given to us) and for shampoo (which was not- we were asked to buy it from nearby shops). there was a bad smell in the toilet. Kitchen was extremely dirty- one would not like to eat any breakfast after having a look there. workers do not keep good hygiene. Altogether- not a place to stay. KEEP AWAY!!

The property location, just facing Ganga is excellent and also nearness to the Assi Ghat. The only issue was its approach road from the main road, a beat clumsy, else All Well

Room with a holy view.
I highly recommend The Ganga Monestary. It is a nice easy walk along the Ganges to Assi Gaht, the southernmost of the Varanasi gahts.it is very quiet. My room had a beautiful view of the Ganges. There is a nice rooftop patio as well.
