Pros:

The hotel is in perfect location for the ghats and major attractions in Varanasi. Loads of shops and good restaurants within walking distance. Facilities are clean and well maintained, room clean and comfortable and a fair size. Staff pleasant and provides and attentive service. Airport transfers are competitively priced. The only draw back for us was breakfast which did not provide a lot of choice for western palates.

Pros:

The hotel is very good, everything is very clean, and with a very good location, you can rest very well after your day's activities and the chaos of the city you arrive tired, so what you will need is a good bath and a good bed and this hotel has the conditions, I recommend it 100% its staff is friendly, Lalit one of the councilors or who is in charge of cleaning is very friendly and helps you in everything in his hands so that you feel comfortable with your room, the food is very good and of quality, it also has a unique restaurant and it is vegetarian, it is a small but cozy hotel.

Pros:

This hotel is lovely and even though on main road it is quiet inside with a really good quality of rooms. Each room is air conditioned and has really good facilities. The team are brilliant helping with questions about where to go shopping negotiating Rikshaw prices. The food is hot and whilst you have to remember at breakfast food comes first and then your hot drink there is nothing to complain about and the prices are reasonable. A really lovely hotel to stay in.

Great option in Varanasi
Pros:

Very comfy room and terrific location in Varanasi. Just close enough—5 minutes walk—to the ghats to be totally convenient, but just enough outside the main part of the old city to feel like a bit of a haven. Room in good shape, solid restaurant. Only complaint is that the staff is a bit too hover-y and solicitous in the restaurant, but that’s a small thing.

Good to see ghats and go for Ganges boat ride.
Pros:

Close to ghats in a busy area. The bathroom had mold, but the shower and bed were OK. Not noisy. Got tired of eating at the buffet, although we liked the food for the most part and the service was good.

Pros:

Staff lovely and very convenient to walking to The Ganges. Breakfast very limited…they ran out of coffee constantly, and when served it wasn’t good, and if busy cups and plates. Indian breakfast way better than European (sliced bread and packaged jam). Found a lot of noise in the corridor outside my room when I stayed- but that was fault of guests not hotel. Lovely to wake and watch monkeys playing on the buildings opposite. Would stay again…but not pay for breakfast…

Pros:

Ziemlich zentral gelegen, ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Besuche von Tempeln und Ghats und ein ruhiger Rückzugsort mitten im Stadtgetümmel, wenn man eine Pause braucht. Sehr sauber, sehr freundliches und aufmerksames Personal. Und das Hotelrestaurant ist großartig.
