Fodor's Expert Review Jukaso Ganges

CK 1/14 Patni Tola Chowk, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, 221010, India

Accessed by boat from the nearby Dasaswamedh Ghat, this stunning sandstone heritage hotel on the Ganges is perfect for a romantic getaway or a personal retreat. Tasteful and cozy, most rooms overlook the river, and the elegant terrace beneath marbled Mughal arches is also a great place to take in the river views. There's a stylish inner courtyard, decorated with Rajasthani pictures and plush white sofas contrasting neatly with the art deco black-and-white-check marble floor. The rooftop restaurant has excellent mixed cuisine.

PROS

  • excellent river views
  • complimentary transfer to Dasaswamedh Ghat to watch the Ganga Arti prayer ceremony
  • yoga and meditation room

CONS

  • boat access impossible during monsoon, and it's quite a trek overland
  • monsoon can flood the lobby
  • limited menu options
