Abhijeet, the manager was unfailingly courteous and friendly and provided superb service. The area around the hotel is blocked off to taxis and is on a pedestrian lane and he was gracious enough to send a porter to meet my Rick Shaw to guide me to the hotel. Subsequently, he sent a porter with my luggage to the pick up point for my Uber to the airport. Outstanding service well done! The hotel doesn’t look like much on the outside, but the rooms are very attractive with plenty of hot water and an excellent breakfast is provided free of charge. Furthermore, the hotel is five minutes walk from the ghats and one minute walk from the main street.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was awesome at helping me with many questions. Facilities were good & comfortable. The immediate location is dirty but very centrally located and enough off the main 24/7 road to make it more relaxing. Breakfast was excellent. The only issue for me was having a room next to reception so I heard the doorbell a lot. The local power grid is a bit unreliable but works most of the time.

Personal is very kind and want to help. The room unfortunately was dirty. The surrounding is very noisy outside and inside the hotel. The room certainly deserves an extra cleaning. The sheets have spots on them.

Varanasi, a vibrant experience

Location wise it’s good - close to the Ghats and Temples either by walk or by rickshaws. The only thing that puts you off is the smelly and cow dung splattered lanes. Competition between people, vehicles & cows in the roads / lanes to the Ghats is very high. The authorities need to do something about it. It’s chaotic! If you are interested in buying sarees - we took up the suggestions of an electric riskshaw and a manual rickshaw drivers to take us to a saree manufacturer’s shop on 2 different occasions and found them to be genuine and good.

Good location. Good breakfast, Front Desk Issues

We had issues with the front desk. After we had checked in, they told us that we have to pay in cash only (I wasn't traveling with an ATM card as I charge everything, only have a little cash from previous trips) because their card reader wasn't working. We made it clear that we we couldn't. It was working by the time we checked out, but then without asking "for our convenience" they converted ₹ to the currency of my passport, even though my card is in ₹. And they tacked on a 5% convenience fee that they pocket while the charge was converted back to rupees to hit my bank. That was not the deal we had here on Hotels.com. Breakfast was simple but tasty and filling, Location is close the the middle of the ghats. But it is a little walk from the closest point an Uber can get you to the location.

힘들었어요

안개낀 공항때문에 항공이 결항되어서 급하게 떡깔티켓을 구입했다. 자정이 넘어서 콜카타 to 바라나시 기차역에 도착, 공항은 픽업을 해 주지만 기차도착시간이 늧은시간이므로 알아서 오라고 했다. 호텔스닷컴의 사진으로 보던 숙소와는 달랐다. 청결도는 괜찮았으나 세면장의 슬리퍼도 없었고 요청했으나 거절당했다. 꽤 추운 날씨임에도 불구하고 히타도 없었다. 다시는 가지 않을 것 같다.
