Customer's reviews

Could not have asked for a better experience for my parents and myself. From the very offset, the team was prompt in securing booking through advance payment and accommodating each and every request from us (even to put up mosquito nets) and even our driver. Hospitality was perfect and at the same time had a warmth which makes you feel like you are at home. Every meal was exquisite in taste, variety and quality. Overall Nihar is the ideal blend of heritage and modern, at the banks of the Ganges, offering a peaceful riverside escape away from the city. But what touched our heart most were the people: the team AND their dogs!! The kindest souls ready to serve you as and when you need! Thank you and keep it up! Can't wait to be back again!! ~ Sujaya C

Had a great experience during our stay of 2 nights at the property. Well maintained and beautiful property located right at the bank of the river. The sunset view is especially lovely. Plenty of outdoor and indoor activities to spend time and relax. The decor was very tasteful giving an old world charm. Hospitality was great- staff were very courteous and made sure all our needs were taken care of. Food was very tasty- we ordered mostly from their set menu. Shoutout to chef Anup and Nair ji. Couple of improvement areas could be expanding the menu a bit further (or coming up with suggestions) and keeping some of the internal staff commotions separate from the guest areas. But the overall stay was great and would totally recommend this place. ~ Sankha B
