Super fijn verblijf!
Pros:

We werden goed ontvangen en konden meteen een boottour regelen. Het ontbijt op de rooftop was heerlijk en je kon hier lekker relaxen aan het einde van de dag. De locatie is top en je bent zo bij de ganges. De host nam ons ook nog mee naar een muziekfestival en we hebben erg genoten van ons verblijf in Banaras.

Pros:

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I ended up getting sick during my stay and they were so kind checking on me and even let me extend my stay and stay in my room for longer because I couldn't leave my bed. The room was spacious and clean and the breakfast was really good.

Wspaniałe miejsce, żeby zatrzymać się w Varanasi!
Pros:

Wspaniali właścieciele, bardzo pomocni w każdej sprawie.
Lokalizacja idealna, blisko Assi Ghat, gdzie codziennie o świecie i o zachodzie słońca odbywają się piękne ceremonie Aarti. Zdala od zgiełku (10-15min piechotą jest najściślejsze centrum). Hotel położony jest w bocznej uliczce, więc jest cicho i spokojnie. Ma wspaniały taras na dachu, gdzie serwowane są śniadania i można z niego korzystać cały czas. Śniadanie bardzo dobre.

Cons:

Internet jest dostępny w całym obiekcie, ale jest dość słaby, więc jesli ktoś planuje intensywnie pracować to może mieć kłopot.

A simple budget option, no frills but well located for the ghats
Pros:

Manager was really helpful and welcoming, spoke excellent English and was good with communicating via whatsapp. A good breakfast served on the rooftop which had no view but was pleasant to get fresh air and some sun.

Cons:

We stayed in the budget double room, and the window faced onto a brick wall a foot away, and the room wasn’t particularly nice to stay in (although it was clean and the hot shower was excellent). I would recommend checking out alternative rooms in the property.

Good location but uncomfortable room
Pros:

The location near the river, despite the alleyways to get to the property are dark and dodgy.

Cons:

The room was small, very noisy and extremely cold. The bed and pillows were uncomfortable.

Not at all an experience which one can think of.
Pros:

Apart from location, there is no other advantage to this property.
This is more of a make shift bed arrangement types, not at all as it is described on the sites.

Cons:

The thing that could be liked about the property is the location, rest all is simply avoidable.
