Hotel Sita is the perfect location in Varanasi if you want to be amongst the action. You are on the banks of the Ganges moments away from the busy ghats. To get to the Sita you’ll be dropped off about 1km away. You’ll then navigate the narrow lanes to walk to the hotel. Ensure your maps app is working. Don’t be put off by this at all. The hotel is basic in terms of facilities. No proper shower and the rooms could do with a deep clean. The staff are wonderful and helpful. We ate in the roof top restaurant and enjoyed the food. Be aware it is noisy as you’re so close to the ghats. I’d suggest two nights stay and you’ll get the full Varanasi experience. Thank you to Sanjay for the walking tour. His local knowledge was great.

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

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.

2/10 Poor

My wife and I stayed three nights at Hotel Sita – unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. Despite informing the hotel about our late arrival four weeks in advance, the entire property was locked and dark when we arrived. We ended up sitting on the stairs outside from 1 a.m. to 4 a.m., as no other accommodation nearby was open. The next morning, the staff simply said they couldn’t do anything because we had booked through an external platform. Instead of a refund for the missed night, we were offered breakfast and a late checkout – a kind gesture, but not real compensation. The hotel also recommended their own guide, which we initially thought was part of an apology. However, it turned out to be a paid service, which the receptionist clearly knew from the beginning. The room itself was fine – comfortable bed and a beautiful Ganges view – but the balcony door couldn’t be locked, which is unacceptable for travelers with valuables. The bathroom was very basic and far below the standard expected for around USD 100 per night. Nearby hotels with similar views charged only 20–40 USD. Overall, this was the worst value-for-money experience I’ve had in any hotel. On the positive side: friendly reception, good English, and a great night atmosphere overlooking the river. But if you agree to a late check-in, you simply cannot leave guests outside overnight. A real shame – our amazing time in Varanasi was heavily overshadowed by this experience. More rip-off than nice place.

All hotels near the Ganges do not have vehicle access. You need to walk the last 400 meters. That’s true for any hotel.

We had a good stay overall. The room was a comfortable size, the bed was very nice, and the staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our visit. The property could benefit from some updates and extra care, but overall it offers a pleasant stay and good service.

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

Perfect Location

Excellent location but room very small and old. A young guy tries to get you on a boat tour which we did but then overcharged but refused to pay boatman. Avoid Brown Bread bakery as they kick the dogs. If you call them they will meet you at the road and guide you to the hotel.

we chose this hotel because of its location on the ghats local area was fascinating hotel staff friendly but hotel condition poor, in no way 2.5 star our ''deluxe'' was awful --- old, in need of repair, rusty metal bathroom door, stained wash basin & toilet No soap nor toilet paper cannot recommend this hotel to anyone, & I don't think Hotels.com should advertise it

Hotel is hard to find and not clean

The hotel’s location is not accessible by taxi/car. The taxi has to stop at 1-2 km away and you will have to walk for 10-20 minutes in some narrow roads before you find the hotel. If you really want to stay in this hotel, I would suggest you contact the hotel to arrange for transport. The towels and bed sheets are not clean.

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

Taxi Could not even drive to hotel and had to drop us at an intersection for a rickshaw to take us to hotel. After several attempts the ricky could not even reach the hotel. Customer service is POOR and Phone calls to the hotels phone were UNANSWERED so we were forced to find another hotel. I was not able to get back a full rebate
