We had two rooms, one of them was small and dark, the bedding was filthy. The second room was also quite basic and full of mosquitoes and there was almost no water pressure in the shower in this room, they said they would get someone to fix it but of course they didn’t. The reception staff were rude to our... More

This is easily the best place to stay in the city, its moderately far from actual "river scene", but it doesnt matter because there are numerous cycle taxis, which are very cheap always nearby the hotel. Going to the old city area is easy & can be done numerous times a day back n forth because the location is just... More

We reached Varanasi from Lucknow and on our way we informed the manager to arrange a pick up taxi (Chargeable) from station to Hotel. The manager confirmed us about that and when we reached station the manager failed his commitment and suggested us to take a rickshaw to the Hotel. Next the rooms...the room was not at par to the...

Decent rooms, but they were not serviced/cleaned on day 2. The reception staff is dodgy, to say the least. They extracted 3600 Rupees for using a taxi for full day. very expensive by indian standards. the last day, i had asked for an airport drop and the car arrived 45 mins late. a friend of mine dropped me to the...

This is a rip off. Usually, I write my reviews a few days after my travel but this time I won't wait as I want to warn travellers to Varanasi in advance. Do not book this hotel in advance, go and have a look first and book only if you like what you see. The people who run this place... More

Good food, friendly staff, interesting location. Definitely one of the better hotels to stay at in varanasi, especially to get away from the touts and craziness of the ghats. Would stay here again if I returned to Varanasi.
