Best hotel stay ever

The best stay in any hotel for a long time. Taj Nadesa Palace made us feel at home right from the first step we took into this hotel. The staff made every effort to look after us and our needs. We wish to return one day. Staying in Varanasi is at times challenging, so one needs an oasis like the Taj Nadesa to feel comfortable.

One of the finest luxury hotel we have stayed. We visited varansi for one night on April 24 to visit kadhi Vishwanath Temple, each and every staff took care of us like their own family members. Food was awesome and we will go back with our kids in winter

The Palace is an enchanting property. The hotel facilities are superb and the special touches of the musicians at meals and the horse carriage and driver are singularly outstanding. The meals offered are excellent. The staff is well trained, well supervised and exceedingly courteous and helpful.

A ten room palace on the other side of the world.

The hotel isn't a"palace" in as much as the guest house for the palace somewhere else. Lots of heads of state stayed there. But its only ten rooms. SO it "feels" like a luxury bed and breakfast, not a "palace". There is nothing except the Ganges and the Hindu religious events. That's not a bad thing. Just be aware it is rural India. Its more of a destination for doing nothing and relaxing, than activities.

With the price

A boutique hotel with only 10 rooms. Awesome ambiance and awesome service. A little pricey but will strongly recommend it.

Our experience of being maharajah and maharani

We adored our 2 days at Nadesar Palace The Mountbatten Suite that we stayed in was so special- little touches like the photo of us taken at reception were put in a frame in the room and a fresh fruit bowl was topped up daily. Added touches such as fresh rose petals were added to our room along with a sweet treat beside the bed each night. The staff were so lovely - always eager to please and make sure our stay was special. We loved the horse drawn carriage ride in the 200 year old carriage - now I can truly say I have sat where royalty has been (King George and Princess Mary had also ridden in the same carriaige) The glass of champagne to celebrate the carriage ride was a special surprise too. We loved our round of golf (5 holes complete with caddy and umbrella - for the heat), the croquet and the lovely swimming pool. The spa facilities were an added bonus too. A huge thankyou to all of the staff for a once in a lifetime treat. Now anywhere we go we will compare the hotel to the Nadesar - The best Hotel we have ever stayed in

Good hotel, in quiet part of city

The Gateway Hotel was clean and comfortable, but what makes it especially good is the level of service and general friendliness of the staff. From the concierge, who found me a great guide, to the waiter at the breakfast table, everyone made me feel welcome. This is especially reassuring when travelling on your own!

The hotel is indeed an oasis in the midst of a bustling, congested, somewhat polluted city.
