About
Hotel Bachchan Palace
Hotel Bachchan Palace sits within 200 metres of Dashashwamedh Ghat, putting you in the middle of Varanasi's most lively stretch. The 3-star property keeps things straightforward: non-smoking rooms, Wi-Fi, and a 24-hour reception. Practical touches include a cash machine, currency exchange, and paid airport shuttle.
Guest reviews consistently underline two things—cleanliness and service. Rooms come with air conditioning, a sitting area, and a flat-screen TV. The rooftop is mentioned as a highlight, a quiet spot for chai at sunrise. The staff arrange boat trips, give directions, and hand out extra blankets when the evening turns chilly.
