About

Hotel Ashoka Ganages

Hotel Ashoka Ganages sits on Godowlia Road, in the thick of Varanasi's old city. The 3-star hotel is a direct, 5-minute walk from the revered Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple, and roughly 25 minutes on foot from Assi Ghat. It's a base built for sightseeing, not for quiet retreat: expect the energy of the city right outside your door.

The hotel keeps things practical. There's free Wi-Fi, a 24-hour reception, and a small set of services like laundry, car hire, and tour assistance. Rooms range from Standard King to Family Twin and Deluxe Triple, with a restaurant and in-room breakfast for when you want to fuel up before heading out.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book

  • Courteous and responsive staff — Guests repeatedly mention the owner and staff being helpful, friendly, and quick to respond.
  • Free and reliable Wi-Fi — The hotel provides Wi-Fi throughout the property, and at least one guest called it fast and reliable.
  • Breakfast that guests remember — Multiple reviewers specifically praise the breakfast as 'amazing' or 'delicious'.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Value for money could be better — The Value rating sits at 6.8, lower than other categories, and the price from around £853 (likely per stay, given the market) may not align with some guests' expectations.
  • No parking on site — The hotel lists no parking amenity, and the address is on a busy road in the old city, so arriving by car could be a challenge.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with an animal, this property won't work — the policy states pets are not allowed.
  • Potential noise from central location — Being on Godowlia Road near a petrol pump and busy market area, expect street sounds. Reviews don't complain, but the trade-off is inherent to such a central spot.
