Just managed to sleep there barely
Pros:

The support staff like the helpers were good

Cons:

There was construction and debris in front of the room and the same was not mentioned in the description . Plus the room was extremely small including the bathroom . No room for placing luggage, almirah was covered with bed and could not be opened . Bathroom water seeping from the door.The photos were misleading as half photos were shown and the room was full of dust. Bad experience will not book it and also i am not confident booking from booking.com.

Superbe !
Pros:

Nous avons séjourné en août dans cet hôtel que j'avais choisi pour mon fils et moi à cause de sa localisation. Celle-ci était parfaite. Cet hôtel donne sur les bords du Gange, la vue y est magnifique, notre chambre donnait sur le Gange avec un petit balcon, il y a aussi une terrasse pour tout le monde jouxtant la salle à manger ! il est à proximité de toutes les attractions et notamment du Ghat le plus important pour assister le soir à la cérémonie de l'Aarti où nous sommes allés à pied. Il se situe dans la vieille ville dont les ruelles peuvent un peu dérouter les occidentaux mais il ne faut pas avoir peur, c'est tranquille. Le directeur de l'hôtel a demandé à un employé de nous accompagner à 4h du matin jusqu'à la route principale pour commander un tuk tuk et nous conduire à l'aéroport. Cette prestation est fondamentale pour nous guider et nous rassurer en pleine nuit, nous qui ne sommes pas habitués à ce type de ville. Cette prestation est aussi proposée en cas d'arrivée de nuit. Les petits déjeuners sont aussi très bons, indiens. Le directeur est très accueillant. Le seul point est le confort un peu sommaire de la chambre mais le prix et la vue compensent largement, après il y a de l'eau chaude et le matelas est confortable. Nous remercions le Diwedi pour son accueil ! Je recommande ! Et Bénarés, quelle ville incroyable et en pleine période de mousson !

Cons:

Rien, on a tout aimé !

良い。メインGHAT中心旅行にはおすすめ。
Pros:

朝食がよかった。
パニールとカレーとチャイのシンプルな組み合わせだが普段とは違う、組み合わせ朝食スタイルがよかった。
場所がよかった。
川沿いなので、バイクや自動車の騒音がなかった。
スタッフがよかった。
要求すれば気さくに答えてくれる。
レストランが良い。
バルコニーでレストランで買ったビールを飲める。
テラスと屋上展望台があるので景色が良い。

Cons:

部屋は清潔ではない。
宿泊料金の割に衛生面はワンランク下。
インド旅行と割り切ればあり。女性や衛生面を気にする人にはおすすめしない。布団とバスタオルが古い。
場所。
メインGHATに近いが、ガッシーガット(良いレストランがあるところ)には遠い。
部屋の清掃や水は要求しないとしてくれない。
