Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Room was located on the ground floor right outside a 24/7 reception which made for a restless night. It also backed directly onto the street which had a constant stream of motorbike exhaust coming through the vents. The hotel generally is also located in a hard to find spot, in the backstreets, unable to be reached by any mode of transport other than walking - challenging for anyone with a suitcase, without a strong sense of direction or female travellers who may feel uncomfortable trekking the back alleys. A broken shower with no hot water and damp towels on arrival also made for an uncomfortable stay. Otherwise staff were helpful, breakfast options were good, snacks & bottled water were complimentary and the space was relatively clean. But not worth the cost to stay.

It’s very sad to have to say that this place was horrible. If they would spend some time doing maintenance in the hotel it could be so much better. The walls were dirty, the bathroom as well. The area around the property is disgusting. I don’t know how no one mentions the amount of flies here. Also it is so hard to find. It is close to the river but I wouldn’t really stay here again. The best thing about this place was the staff, they were very kind and helpful and the breakfast was nice too. Other than that everything was so dirty and again the hotel is so hard to find even the locals have a hard time finding it and you need to walk to it if you take an uber because there is a space where the cars cannot go in.

Abhijeet, the manager was unfailingly courteous and friendly and provided superb service. The area around the hotel is blocked off to taxis and is on a pedestrian lane and he was gracious enough to send a porter to meet my Rick Shaw to guide me to the hotel. Subsequently, he sent a porter with my luggage to the pick up point for my Uber to the airport. Outstanding service well done! The hotel doesn’t look like much on the outside, but the rooms are very attractive with plenty of hot water and an excellent breakfast is provided free of charge. Furthermore, the hotel is five minutes walk from the ghats and one minute walk from the main street.

Staff was awesome at helping me with many questions. Facilities were good & comfortable. The immediate location is dirty but very centrally located and enough off the main 24/7 road to make it more relaxing. Breakfast was excellent. The only issue for me was having a room next to reception so I heard the doorbell a lot. The local power grid is a bit unreliable but works most of the time.

Varanasi, a vibrant experience

Location wise it’s good - close to the Ghats and Temples either by walk or by rickshaws. The only thing that puts you off is the smelly and cow dung splattered lanes. Competition between people, vehicles & cows in the roads / lanes to the Ghats is very high. The authorities need to do something about it. It’s chaotic! If you are interested in buying sarees - we took up the suggestions of an electric riskshaw and a manual rickshaw drivers to take us to a saree manufacturer’s shop on 2 different occasions and found them to be genuine and good.

Good location. Good breakfast, Front Desk Issues

We had issues with the front desk. After we had checked in, they told us that we have to pay in cash only (I wasn't traveling with an ATM card as I charge everything, only have a little cash from previous trips) because their card reader wasn't working. We made it clear that we we couldn't. It was working by the time we checked out, but then without asking "for our convenience" they converted ₹ to the currency of my passport, even though my card is in ₹. And they tacked on a 5% convenience fee that they pocket while the charge was converted back to rupees to hit my bank. That was not the deal we had here on Hotels.com. Breakfast was simple but tasty and filling, Location is close the the middle of the ghats. But it is a little walk from the closest point an Uber can get you to the location.

If you try to access this property by car, (access by foot only) forget about it. This hotel is close to the famous Ghaats of Varanasi and although it doesn’t have a view of the river Ganga, it is very close to the main market and The property is clean and well very maintained. Beds were comfortable, the place smelt lovely and the washrooms were excellent!

A great place to stay!

Provides a lovely feel of the old world charm of Varanasi and modern lifestyle. Right in the heart of 'Kashi' with Dashashwamedh ghat and Kashi Vishwanath temple at walking distance. And never the less a world of eateries in the vicinity providing you the best of Varanasi. The rooms are worth every penny. Cozy, well styled, and extremy clean. The staff is very helpful and courteous. Do not except much at hotel though with respect to food. All they provide is breakfast that is limited to Tea/Coffee, Omlette, Toast, and fruits. But you don't really need it anyway given the options around.

The staff was really nice, but the front desk person sent us on a wild goose chase when we asked him about somewhere we wanted to go. By the time we backtracked from where he originally sent us, the place was closed. Make sure you call the hotel when you are arriving, Uber cannot drop you at the front door as it is in a small alley. The location was good to see the main Ghats.
