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.
