Excellent Location, Friendly staff

It was a wonderful 2 nights stay there. We had booked three rooms for 6 of us. Hotel is right at the ghat. But this is not for elderly people with walking difficulties. Ideal place to explore ghats. Food is excellent. Hotel staff ensures you have no problem with luggage. We visited during Kumbh and it was little tough. Hotel staff make it easy even though we had 10 suitcases in total ( 4 bigs and 6 small). But you also need to be cooperative. Little bad conditions of the washrooms. Water dripping problem exists. Overall good comfortable stay

Disappointment at Sita in Varanasi

My trip was absolutely horrible, the place is back dated , it was filthy , the TV did not work, we did not get the room that we payed for , we were told that , that room was occupied. I would not recommend anybody to stay there , I wouldn’t give it half a star.. The bathroom floor was always wet . Photos are very deceiving.,please don’t go by their photos

A little tricky to locate and if it wasnt for prior advice that you must get dropped off at main street and find property from there. Telephone calls and messages sent via hotels.com all unanswered. Property helpful to arrange tours but costs and schedule unclear and payment was more than suggested. tip: get it in writing and costs in advance and who exactly gets paid. plus plus plus Location great.

A welcoming and scenic launching point

We had an excellent stay at the hotel Sita. The staff treated us like family, from helping organize a guide to lead us to the hotel from the Main Street, to helping us schedule an all-day tour of Varanasi starting at six AM the next day with an excellent tour guide. We had arrived late at night and had not booked a tour in advance, but the hotel has a number of trusted guides and we were able to start a tour the next day at 5:30 AM. I can strongly recommend Diamond, who led us to burn famous and special out of the way locations over a two day tour. I was aware that the room and building were historic and was not expecting the same bland experience as in a new western style hotel, what I did get is a perfectly comfortable room with two large clean mattresses, and most amazingly, an unimpeded view of the River Ganges and one of the historic ghats literally at the doorstep of the hotel. The bathroom was clad in marble with a full size tub and sink. The entire room serves as a shower and is very roomy. Additionally, the food at the rooftop cafe was excellent. We enjoyed fresh lime soda, ginger chai, Indian style omelettes and more. We actually never had a need to take meals anywhere else and the rooftop view and outdoor seating were spectacular. The location in proximity to the center of historic Varanasi was excellent for visiting many of the most famous ghats, taking boat rides, shopping and getting lost (on purpose) in the timeless back alleys.

Great location, amazing views of the river, a perfect place to stay in Varansi. The hotel is located walking distance away from the main ghats which is quiet convenient, at the same time the ghat on which it is located is quieter to spend time relaxing by the river Ganga. The only challenge is approach, no vehicle is permitted beyond a certain point, I recommend you reach out to hotel in advance to ensure you know how to reach there or organize transport from the hotel
