Clients reviews about HOTEL GOLDEN LOTUS Varanasi

I have spent 4 nights here during the peak time so I am quite eligible for the genuine review , it was last minute booking as my family made planning just 2 days prior , was lucky enough to get the room below are the pros and cons Pros 1. Lotus family suite was allotted to us and it was neat and spacious. 2. Service was quick. 3. Food was good but I believe it was on a expensive side by 10-15% 4. Cabs and electric vehicle was booked by the hotel which was hassle free . 5. During the peak time was able to get vip protocol darshan of lord shiva with sparsh darshan , which was wonderful experience, thanks to the management. Cons : 1. No lift in the premises. 2. Our suite was allocated in second floor , there was no WiFi for entire 4 days of my stay . ~ DHANUSH P

Nous avons passé 5 jours super en famille (4). Abhni était au petit soin pour nous. Ils nous a donné beaucoup d'idées, organisé des activités, réservé les billets de train pour notre départ. Ns recommandons vivement Golden Lotus. Le lieu n'est pas au centre mais a le grand avantage d'être dans un lieu calme tout en étant proche du centre, environ 5-7 minutes en tuk tuk. ~ Raphaël R

My experience at the GOLDEN LOTUS was EXCELLENT from the very first moment of contact and communication over WhatsApp. I felt cared for and all of my questions and concerns were answered. The hotel is beautiful and obviously well cared for, the staff - so kind and helpful. I loved the conversations that I had as well as the attention to detail with all services they offered and helped me to find. I have a private guided tour of Varanasi and attended aarti and felt safe and I was so happy. The location is perfect for excursions and the management arranged all if my transportation. I learned so much. The room was very big and fully equipped - clean and quiet and I enjoyed very much my stay. I am a frequent world wide traveler ~ Yoga T

Had a wonderful stay in the property with my family in a Family suite. I had a very very last minute booking and managed to connect immediately with the owner cum manager Mr Abhinav. He guided us with specifics and made our visit a successful one. I didn't had any plan in mind for the things we could do/see in banares and period of stay but was guided very well. Comfort of my family more important for me rather than rushing to one place after another. For me, the location was bit off but otherwise the place interiors were nice and well maintained. Staff very very friendly. Suggest the upkeep of the place and few other things to make it even better. Recommended place and would love to be Mr Abhinav's guest again in future. ~ Ashish K

I stayed here for four nights during my Varanasi trip, and honestly, I had a really good experience. The rooms are quite spacious, the location is good, and the manager and staff are extremely polite and welcoming. What I really liked was how they make you feel at home. They would offer tea just out of kindness and wouldn’t even charge for it. They would also ask how things were going and suggest places to visit and things to do around Varanasi. It’s these small gestures that really make a difference. I genuinely enjoyed my stay here, and it made my four days in Varanasi even better. I’ll definitely be coming back with my family next time, and I would happily stay here again. ❤️ ~ Kailash C

Ostello pulito e silenzioso. Abhi ci ha accolto di notte nonostante non avessimo effettuato la prenotazione. Ci ha dato anche utilissimi consigli sul posto e aiutato nell'acquisto dei biglietti del treno per il nostro prossimo spostamento. Le camere sono molto grandi e spaziose e dotate di cucina e soggiorno a parte. Prezzo onesto. Consigliato! ~ Pamela L

Wonderful stay at Golden Lotus, Varanasi I had a very pleasant stay at Golden Lotus. The staff is extremely friendly, polite, and always ready to help, which made the experience even better. The rooms are clean, hygienic, and well maintained, providing a comfortable and peaceful stay. Although the hotel is a little away from the main ghat and mandir area, it is well worth it for the cleanliness and calm environment. The staff is very cooperative and ensures guests feel at home. I would definitely recommend Golden Lotus to anyone visiting Varanasi and looking for a comfortable and hygienic stay. ~ gayatri j

After having problems with our previous hotel reservation, we booked this hotel on the same day. The manager and staff were very kind and helpful, even upgraded us free of charge to a bigger room, which was a nice touch. Rooms are spacious and clean, for the price it's a bargain. It has a grocery shop with local prices right next to it, and breakfast, lunch and dinner menus, all fairly priced, and with good tasting food. Only downside is that the location is a bit further from the city center, however they can call you a tuk tuk at any time and it's approximately 15min from the center. Overall 5 stars experience ~ Francisco S

Muy buen sitio para alojarse. Lugar tranquilo y con muy buen servicio. Te ofrecen varios servicios como tuk tuk a muy buen precio y excursión privada en su barco que nosotros hicimos y nos encantó. Muy recomendable si quieres pasar unos días tranquilo en Varanasi. Buena relación calidad precio 👍 ~ Jessica B

**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great stay, highly recommended!** We had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean, spacious and very comfortable, with everything working perfectly. The bed was cozy and the room was quiet, so we slept well. The staff deserve special mention. They were friendly, polite and always ready to help, from check-in to check-out. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The hotel also has excellent guest reviews, and after staying here we can see why. It lives up to its reputation. Good rooms, great service and good value. We'll definitely stay here again. 👍 Gupta ~ Gupta G

Golden Lotus is an excellent hotel with very specious rooms. The location and approach road is little concerning. Do not follow Google maps to reach the location as it goes through extreme narrow roads. Instead call the hotel before reaching there as there is a better alternative approach road to property. The food in the hotel was very good . The rooms are super clean and nice. Little far from Ghats and temple but if you are visiting with your own vehicle better to stay at this place and then visit temple. They will arrange the boat ride and taxi for you on your request. ~ RAVI S

Wir haben uns sehr wohl und beraten gefühlt bei Abhinav. Er war stets für uns erreichbar und half uns bei allen Fragen. Die Zimmer kommen schon einer Wohnung gleich. Sind sehr groß und für indische Verhältnisse gut ausgestattet. Der einzige negative Punkt ist die Lage. Man muss jedes Mal ein Taxi oder ein Tuktuk nehmen, um in die Innenstadt zu gelangen. Daher bietet sich diese Unterkunft für die jenigen an, die nach der stressigen und lauten Stadt Varanasi abends zur Ruhe kommen wollen. ~ Wi c

I had a really pleasant stay at Golden Lotus Hotel in Varanasi. The staff here is exceptionally kind and helpful – they truly go above and beyond for their guests. One night when I wasn’t feeling well, they even arranged soda late at night to help with my stomach ache, which was such a thoughtful gesture. The service throughout my stay was excellent, and the food was also very good. The rooms were comfortable and well-kept, making the overall experience even better. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Varanasi! ~ Sahil M

We have booked family room with 2 bedroom and a living room. I loved the interior and thought given to detailings in the rooms and premises. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, clean and more importantly it was homely. Situated in peaceful area away from the traffic, its the best option if you are planning to visit kashi temple and other ghats nearby. Its only 3-4 km from the temple area. Food provided was also tasty and the staffs are very cooperative and ready to help. Highly recommended🙌 ~ Sachin P

We recently stayed at this hotel in Varanasi and had a wonderful experience overall. While the location is slightly away from the central temple area, it offers excellent value for money, especially considering the apartment setup (2 rooms, attached bathroom, and kitchen), which would typically cost much more elsewhere. The main hotspots for rickshaw stands and transportation are just 500 meters away, and it cost us around ₹100-₹150 to reach the ghats and the Kashi Vishwanath Temple—very convenient and affordable. During our stay, we encountered a minor electrical issue in our room. However, the hotel staff handled the situation promptly and professionally by immediately shifting us to another room and arranging a complimentary drop-off ride as compensation. This gesture was thoughtful, and we appreciated the generosity and attentiveness of the manager and staff. We highly recommend this hotel for its affordability, good service, and convenient access to key attractions in Varanasi. ~ Kishore R

The rooms are just wonderful. Very comfortable but most important was the positive behavior of the owner of this property.he had a very cool approach to the any problems arising. And would like to mention about there transportation arrangements that we liked the most.they have an erickshaw which can carry you to whatever nearby destinations you want to see with genuine charges and the gem of it is the driver cum guide, sahil.we had an excellent time in varanasi and is looking forward to be there again soon. ~ smita g

stayed here for two nights and it was honestly such a good call. the best part is definitely the location since it is super close to kashi vishwanath temple. made walking to the ghats so easy even with all the crazy crowds. the room was clean and the staff were really helpful with directions when we got turned around in the alleys. definitely worth it if you just want somewhere simple and convenient to crash after a long day of exploring varanasi. would stay again for sure ~ Nitin S

stayed at hotel golden lotus last week and honestly had such a good time. the rooms were super clean and comfy but the best part was definitely the staff. they were so helpful with everything and made sure we had a smooth trip to the ghats. it is rare to find such genuine service these days. felt really welcomed from the moment we walked in. if you are heading to varanasi i would totally suggest staying here. definitely coming back next time for sure ~ Rahul K

We have booked for this property but couldn't stay due to availability issue.But his manager Abhinav is so supportive,and professional that he has booked us in another property close to his location.And have guided us so well in Varanasi since we have visited here first time.He is so prompt in answering our calls and resolving all the issues we have faced.He is an asset for his hotel and I would love to stay in this hotel in my next visit to Varanasi. ~ Divya G

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! It is truly family-friendly — the atmosphere is warm, safe, and welcoming. The owner went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and cared for throughout our stay. The rooms were clean and spacious, and the facilities were well-maintained, making it easy to relax and enjoy quality family time. Overall, this hotel combines comfort with genuine hospitality. Highly recommended for families looking for a stress-free and enjoyable stay! ~ Asmita G

We arrived at the hotel and were ready to check in... unfortunately there were problems with the system (which can happen) and we didn't get the room we booked (which wasn't a big difference except that we missed the couch with the big living room). The boss came personally and explained the situation to us and promised us that we would get an upgrade tomorrow morning and get the same discount that we got through my online profile. -friendly -top service -solution oriented ~ Kastriot x

Walking into Hotel Golden Lotus totally felt like discovering a hidden oasis! The spot in Varanasi is super convenient and right in the middle of everything, but somehow it's still amazingly quiet and peaceful. The staff's hospitality was so warm and genuine, which made our very first visit completely unforgettable—we felt so pampered the whole time. And as an awesome bonus, they even gave us a free upgrade to a family suite! ~ Gaurav M

stayed here for two nights and it was actually super convenient. the best part is definitely how close it is to the kashi vishwanath temple so we could walk there easily. also finding parking in varanasi is a total nightmare usually but this place had easy parking available which saved us so much stress. rooms were clean enough and the staff was chill. solid spot if you just want to be near the action ~ Duraisamy R
