Hotels in Varanasi - a review by travelers who stayed at these hotels

Of late we had been randomly talking to tourists we would meet during our sojourns on the ghats in Varanasi and we had been documenting their reviews of the hotels in Varanasi. We had been doing this for some time now and have spoken to quite a few tourists from different countries and here is a list of hotels in Varanasi where these people had been staying. We asked these tourists where they were staying and what is the one good thing they had to say about the hotel they were staying at?
On an average, we met 3 to 4 people who had stayed at a particular hotel before we rated the hotel based on reviews by those who had stayed there. We did this only for the benefit of the readers of my blog. We would come up with more of such reviews when we have more data on the other hotels in Varanasi. However, We did not collect any commercial information about the hotels i.e the price of rooms, cost of food etc. We were looking for a general feedback from the guests and this is what it is:
Rashmi Guest House – Overall Rating is good, One good thing – Great view of the River Ganges
Hotel Radisson – Overall Rating is very good, One good thing – Excellent food
The Gateway Hotel – Overall Rating is Excellent, One good thing – Beautiful lawns and multi-country cuisine
Ganges View – Overall Rating is good, One good thing – Nice view of the River Ganges and the ghats
Ramada Plaza – Overall rating is excellent, One good thing – Good hospitality, good food
Hotel Buddha – Overall rating is good, One good thing – Reasonable pricing

Hotel Clarks – Overall rating is very good, One good thing – Large variety of cuisine
Chaitanya Guest House – Overall rating is good, One good thing – Affordable
Palace on Ganges – Overall rating is good, One good thing – rooftop restaurant offering good view of Ganges and proximity to the ghats
Hotel Ideal Tower – Overall rating is good, One good thing – Spacious rooms
Diamond Hotel – Overall rating is good, One good thing – Budget hotel, affordable costs for budget conscious traveler
Gangaview Guest House – Overall rating is good, One good thing – Good view, located right on the ghats
We hope this would be of some help to other travellers to Varanasi.
