Customer's reviews
Spent 2 nights at this immaculately maintained heritage mansion which is truly steeped in history, specially pertaining to the period of Bengal Renaissance....the Partition and beyond.
The mansion is right on the Ganges with a spectacular view of the river and is an oasis of peace and tranquility.
The team members at the Nihar on the Ganges go out of the way to make the guests comfortable.
Thanks to Mr. Ranjit Nair for taking such good care of the guests and to Chef Anup Das for preparing high quality Bengali, Indian and Continental dishes as per the requirements of the guests.
Looking forward to visit the property once again, definitely for the solitude & also for the collection of books, some of which I haven't come across since my childhood!!

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!!
