Kedareswar B&B

great location down by the river and outstanding staff

Clean room, great view, lovely staff.

Rooms vary a lot, we stayed in 3 different ones for about R2,000 (£17.50) a night for two inc small breakfast. The best rooms are large with relatively good facilities for the price. Some have fridges. The small non a/c rooms are noisy from the temple next door. Relatively clean by budget Indian standards. On the positive side: staff were very obliging, it’s a great location and there’s an excellent shared terrace overlooking the ghats along the Ganges. The Mona Lisa cafe up the lane serves nice traveller food and there are terrific R10 samosas freshly cooked on the corner by the hotel. Watch out for the hungry monkeys.

The staff are very helpful and will do anything to help and make you feel at home. It is run by a family of three brothers. I had the top room. The terrace was up there too so easy access. If you’re been to India before you will enjoy it here. The view of the Ganga river is amazing. If it a first visit to India you may be shocked at his basic things are at the hotel. Lovely staff. Helpful. Breakfast is nice on the terrace. I had the honey banana pancake every day with a pot of tea and warmed milk. The bed was a little hard. The bed linen was clean The pillows are basic. The floor is clean There is a small fridge. The only negative is the standard of cleanliness/cleaning in the room. It definitely needs improvement but the lovely staff made up for this. Just a note….. the stairs are very steep so not suitable for anyone with mobility issues.

The property is in a good location right on the river bank with direct access to the local food stalls and ghats. But the place was tired and run down, and a little dirty. What really let this place down was the lack of ammenities, no kettle, cups,glasses, old worn towels and sheets, broken chairs and tables on the terrace (but breakfast was good) unreliable wifi…and no data coverage on the bottom floor, toilet cistern would not fill. Understand it was only $60 per night but basic amenities were missing
