An excellent and perfect locatoin to stay if you want to visit Shri Kaal Bhairav Temple and ten minu
Pros:

I undertook this journey for spiritual reasons. The hotel is located just five minutes from Shri Kaal Bhairav Temple and ten minutes from Shri Vishwanath Temple. Its central location allows most temples in the vicinity to be visited on foot, including attendance at the Ganga Aarti. For a devotee of Kaal Bhairav, one could scarcely find a more suitable place to stay.

Cons:

During my absence, my wife fell ill, and the entire hotel staff responded with remarkable care and professionalism. They not only comforted her but also promptly arranged for her transfer to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment. I want to make a special mention of Mr Prince Rajput, who remained by her side from the very beginning, stayed throughout the hospital process, and personally accompanied her back to the hotel after discharge. This level of service was truly exceptional and far beyond what I would have expected from a hotel.

no nonsense hotel with value for money but not comfortable stay due to noise pollution and roomsize
Pros:

Hotel is like value for money - near to many temples and key locations....no frill hotel with no other amenities other than accommodation and food.

Cons:

Issue -
Its road facing so tremendous noise at night while you are sleeping
Bed and general qualify of furniture is bad and need maintenance
Service at restaurant was very slow - not sure whether they have enough staff or due to LPG issue
Power disruption was very regular not sure whether in entire varansi !

Prima hotel in een drukke buurt, centraal gelegen.
Pros:

Redelijk nette kamers in een ‘naar zeggen’ mindere buurt. Hotel tussen de ‘gewone mensen’.

Cons:

Geen douche, wel mandi (alhoewel dat ook prima is), en de herrie van de straat (maar daar kies je min of meer tenslotte voor).

If you are not Indian native, don't book it.
Pros:

We were able to check in early The room was spacious and clean.

Cons:

We checked into a small room. The booking details said we should have refrigerator, safe, hair dryer, etc. Did not see any of these. Asked front desk about refrigerator, we were told we paid for bigger room, would move us to the big room when it was ready and they did shortly after. We wondered if we didn't ask for the refrigerator, mostly we would have stayed in the small room but paid for big one. We consider it was dishonest. As to refrigerator, safe, hair dryer, still none existed. The hotel located at a very busy, crowded area, our taxi driver couldn't get to the hotel door, had to ask hotel staff came out to pick us up. When trying to go out, every step was a fight, fighting with traffics, people, etc. Felt very scary to walk around. We pretty much stayed in room the 1st and 3rd day, only 2nd day joined a tour. The good thing was the staff called taxi for us to go airport. It charged more than what was charged at airport, different staff gave different price, but we were still happy out safe. This hotel is in walking distance to a ghat, so people of India may like it.

Clean room in a nice hotel.
Pros:

It was very clean and the staff were very friendly. It was close to the main Ghat where they do the cremations. The room was clean and big.

Cons:

There was nothing I didn’t like. I will definitely stay there again if ever in Varanasi.
