It’s a great hotel with very helpful staff and well maintained. Great restaurant and a bar available in the lobby. It’s very clean, the room is in great condition and you can get anything resolved within seconds after calling the reception. Laundry service was also quite cheap and timely. We absolutely loved this hotel and would recommend it to anyone visiting Varanasi. It was probably the best service I’ve ever had in a hotel and I do travel a lot!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Owais at the front desk stood out for his charm, efficiency and courtesy. The Satvik thali at the Varuna stood out as it was absolutely delicious. The welcome was somewhat lacking and half hearted - didn’t get the drum and sweets, which I saw others receive. The rooms were clean, comfortable and turned in nicely at night. Access to the steam room was somewhat cumbersome and tedious. Having recently stayed at the Jaagir Manor, Pilibhit house, and Anandkashi - I missed the high tea.

A delightful bit of luxury as a relief after a two-week tour using a range of fairly budget-style hotels! The staff were all very well trained and helpful, the room was great and the food we had while there was very good. Only slight disappointment was the pool area was definitely set up for exercise rather than relaxation - no comfortable spot to enjoy a drink or light meal outside there or anywhere around the extensive grounds.
