Ease of Stay & Peace of Mind
Pros:

Excellent Hotel and very courteous staff. Very punctual to service and entire team understand guest needs. The hotel provides central room heating and this made us feel comfortable during our visit in extreme cold weather. All hotels should provide this as well.
Our was 11th hour booking and the hotel handled very meticulously. Best location to visit old Varanasi and new Varanasi. Ease of getting transportation to move around Varanasi. Hotel made our visit very easy. On food side, it's home and comfort food with great taste. It is economical and great for people travelling to Kashi Vishwanath.
The best is 24 hours check -in check-out. All hotels should follow this concept as it really helps guests.
I sincerely thank the Hotel owner and entire staff for making our visit and stay memorable!!

Good
Pros:

Room for 2 is comfortable. May be tough more than that. They provided Flip Flop (bathroom cheppal). Was happy to see that. Towels were good and hot water was available 24x7.
Overall experience is just OK

Cons:

I paid RS 6500 2 people per room...it is not a value for money. O had a worst coffee of my life (only one sip).

Dolphin is a good place, just basic in its furniture and space but very lovely accommodating staff. 🌸
Pros:

Laxmi (phone) and Mukesh (reception) were exceptionally good at listening and acknowledging our questions and requests. Vaishanavi (reception) was pleasant abd helpful. Rajesh (tours) was exceptionally efficient, calm, and honest. The staff in housekeeping and security were discreet, thoughtful, warm and welcoming. Just good people. Some restaurant staff were listening and acting efficiently.

Cons:

The difficult loading and offloading from transportation vehicles, the harassment from the “auto” drivers, the noise levels on floor from other rooms, the low quality food and attention to details in restaurant.

Good location for quick access to ghats, really lovely staff, bad restaurant. ,
Pros:

The reception staff (Mukesh, Vaishnavi) were very friendly, accommodating and helpful in all matters.
The housekeeping staff were highly efficient, warm, and thoughtful. Security gentleman was polite and helpful. Very thoughtful in arranging for auto drivers.

Cons:

Tight rooms, no sound insulation, bathroom shower water flowing all over bathroom, light controls spread all over room with no signs to indicate which light, loud guests not being managed, difficult and unsafe loading and unloading of passengers and bags- slope drain and main road loading - this is highly unsafe and not professionally handled. Highly limited information on dining places and transportation options. Restaurant at hotel is mot recommended although some staff were very nice; others were with no smiles, late service and not listening to understand what was requested and low quality food.
