What a great hotel! The bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept on. The pillows were a great size and the comforter held the proper temperature for a great night sleep. I would highly recommend Rivatas hotel!

5 Star +. The hotel Rivatas is a gem in Varanasi. If I could give this hotel a six (6) star rating I would. It is the best hotel I stayed during my 6 weeks traveling in India. The hotel is large, and caters to group travelers and independent travelers such as myself. My stay was a bit lengthy. From Nov 23 to Nov 29 2017. I had a Jr. Suite and it was very comfortable and spacious. The hotel is very secure and the staff is polite and very helpful. Room spacious, quiet and very well maintained and cleaned by housekeeping staff. Price of room included breakfast and wifi. Food plentiful with a nice selection and delicious Indian and Western. I ate all my dinners at the hotel because the selection was so varied. Hotel Reception Staff was efficient beyond what one would expect, and worth mentioning, the servers in the dining room so polite and helpful. My special gratitude extended to Rinku for services rendered at guest touring services for tours of Varanasi. Price very reasonable and the guide he assigned very knowledgeable about Varanasi. The hotel has a nice pool and spa and has a program for yoga and small gym. From the hotel it is easy to reach the Varanasi Ghats by tuk tuk or a taxi when not at peak travel times. The hotel is simply a wonderful place to be. Good atmosphere, relaxing. In sum, a bargain in price for all that is offered. On my next trip to Varanasi I will stay at Hotel Rivatas without hesitation.

Free upgrade to suite on arrival. Quick check in, too quick that we weren't told about wifi (150 rps per unit per day) and breakfast (served 7am-10). Room great and air con was super good. Staff very friendly. Pool was ample size and is shared with hotel next door, but never too busy. Restaurant was great, good food for breakfast, lunch and tea. Can't really eat anywhere else as it's very busy on the streets and would need a tuktuk. Top tip; Hotel travel tried to get us to book on for Ganges boat trips for 9000rps for 2 for private motor boat day/night tour but we got a tuktuk into town and got the same thing for 4000rps from locals including tuktuk to giant Buddha/buddha gardens (plus 1000rps for tipping the local guide who 'didn't want any money' but turned out he actually did in the end). Probably could have got it cheaper if we'd tried.

Very nice hotel a few minutes away from the chaos and the highly polluted areas of Varanasi. Excellent and responsive staff, very responsive and courteous. The rooms are clean and the bathrooms adequately stocked with towels and amenities. The travel desk is helpful and courteous however, their pricing for even basic services like cab rides is 30 percent more than what is charged by cabs readily available outside the hotel. The breakfast buffet and room service were excellent. Room service always arrives in under 30 minutes and that was a bit of a surprise bases on what we had read in other reviews.

Sem dúvida, a melhor opção de Varanasi. Depois de me decepcionar com um hotel escolhido na parte velha da cidade, mudamos de hotel para o Rivatas, que sinceramente, me salvou a viagem. Ele fica a somente 10 minutos da cidade velha e é uma ótima opção para descansar depois de passer o dia andando.

My family stayed 4 nights in this clean and friendly hotel. Varanasi is wonderful, and also loud and dirty. After a long day exploring it was always a relief to come back to Rivatas to clean up and relax. The housekeeping staff was available and helfpul. Restaurant servers were attentive. The travel desk gave us excellent help. And the front desk staff warmly responsive. We ate several times in the two restaurants and enjoyed our meals and service. The hotel is relatively convenient to the train station, Saranath, shopping, and the airport. Traffic is heavy to get down to the Ganges and the old city. We felt we had an excellent value for the price as well.

Eu e minha esposa adoramos este hotel. O quarto era bem grande, com sala de estar, quarto, closet e banheiro. Bastante limpo e confortável. Fiquei um dia no quarto, pois estava passando mal. Os funcionário forma muito atenciosos, a equipe do restaurante preparou uma refeição especial para mim por conta do meu estado. Super carinhoso da parte deles. Realmente uma estadia maravilhosa.

Buena elección lejos del alocado tránsito de Varanasi, en una zona más nueva y con varios hoteles, pero con pocas rupias puedes llegar fácilmente en tuc tuc a las zonas de interés, que básicamente son junto al río Ganges. Habitación muy limpia y cómoda, ¡¡de lujo!!Habíamos contratado una habitación deluxe doble, normal, no una suite, pues bien, parecía un piso, increíble, era gigante, con una salita de estar, un vestidor con caja fuerte y tabla de planchar un gran ventanal aislante del ruído y un baño gigante. El servicio muy bueno, agradable y eficiente. Muy rico y variado el bufé del desayuno. Además, está cerca de un centro comercial llamado Ramada Plaza donde hay oferta de comida de fiar. El hotel, tiene piscina, algo que nos dio un respiro entre tanto calor de la ciudad. Lo único "malo", o mejor dicho, menos bueno, es que el wifi, aunque muy barato, era de pago, 150 rupias 24 horas para ser exactos. Repetiríamos sin duda. El mejor hotel que hemos visitado en toda la India.

The staff here were lovely and accommodating. We received an upgrade to a suite which was great as we had lots of room to spread out which was nice when living out of a backpack for a few weeks. I think for a 4 star hotel this is great value for money. The breakfast was good, the rooms clean, and the pool is back in action. My only reason for the 4 stars is the water was never really hot, only warm when taking a shower. Would normally not bother me, but I had been on a walking tour all day in the rain and was saturated and all I felt like was a hot shower and the hot water just wasn't hot... Overall though, great stay and would highly recommend. Tip: walk a few hundred meters to the left as you come out of the hotel for cheap bottled water i.e. 50 rupees (compared to hotel prices). Ou should also only pay about 150 rupees to get down to the ghats via tuk tuk.... And there are always loads of tuk tuk drivers ready for your business when you exit the hotel.

The hotel is pretty far from the ghats and the Ganges, but it's super easy to get a tuktuk to go wherever you want. The room was great - we unexpectedly received an upgrade. But the best thing about the hotel is the food. The breakfast was amazing and we ordered room service a few times - some of the best food we had during our two week Indian vacation.
