Reviews
Dear Tourists,
I recently stayed at this establishment for two nights (1 & 2 December 2023) and now have a profound understanding of what hell might feel like. If you're interested in experiencing it yourself, feel free to stay here for at least one night. The decision was based on online pictures, which turned out to be misleading. The property owner may suggest I sought extra privileges, leading to this negative experience, but I want to clarify that I didn't request any undue advantage; this is simply my honest impression. In summary, go ahead and book this hotel to fully experience all the "facilities" of hell. May God bless you.
We (a family of 3) visited Varanasi in Dec and stayed in this hotel for four nights. The room was comfy for winter weather. The bathroom was quite big. The room size (deluxe room) is a bit small for three adults, but we managed it without any issue. For hot water, need to call the reception to turn the heater on and then one should wait for 5-10 min to get proper hot water. Overall the stay was smooth.
We also took the boat ride service for Ganga Arati Darshan through the hotel. Compared to other agencies, they charged quite fairly and the boatman picked up and dropped us at the hotel.
Budget friendly hotel. Location is right next to the Mata Anandmayi Ghat which is just a minute walk from the hotel, hence accessibility to the other ghats is easy. The accessibility to the hotel is a bit off the main road so one has to walk a few mins to reach.
We stayed for 4N/5D
The staff was very helpful and friendly. FnB manager Mr. Vinod was serving us with a smile through out our 4 day stay.
The front desk staff Mr. Sonu and Mr. Gyanendra were also extremely warm and courteous hence the check in and check experience was seemless!
Food was yummy as well, we had a Breakfast included package. They serve breakfast from 8.30am to 10.30am
Housekeeping staff Ashish and Gokul were helpful as well!
Overall a nice experience, budget friendly, clean rooms and good food!
Disappointing Stay: Rude Staff, Poor Service, Inaccessible Location and Small, Windowless Rooms
My parents recently stayed at this hotel, and their experience was far from pleasant. The staff's attitude was disappointingly rude, which set a negative tone for their entire stay. The service quality left much to be desired, with numerous issues left unresolved.
The rooms were cramped and lacked windows, creating a claustrophobic atmosphere. This, coupled with poor management, resulted in a frustrating experience overall. It's essential for hotels to prioritize guest comfort and satisfaction, and sadly, this establishment fell short in many ways.
I would strongly advise exploring other accommodation options in the area for a more enjoyable and hassle-free stay.
Nice experience overall! Everyone was very nice and had a lot of recommendations. The room was spacious, had a great window and was pretty clean! Varanasi during monsoon season gets a bit muddy and it was nice to have a clean place to stay. Lastly, I recommend doing your laundry here because it was done very professionally!
Thank you Hotel Rivera for your exceptional service and hospitality. I loved your service, all the staffs were very friendly and reliable. …
The main attraction of this hotel is its restaurant food and services.
Excellent food prepared by the chef Amit Gupta and served by Dharambeer Kumar during the dinner is mentionable. …
The service is excellent, rooms are good. They also have their own river facing guest house which has excellent views. There is an extensive morning buffet with a lot of options. The location is also proper, however, you need auto rickshaw …
