Great location but not very clean.

This hotel is in an excellent location for sure. Very close to the ghats and key activities in Varanasi. Walking distance to most everything important. It was not clean. Opened the wardrobe and giant dust bunnies flew all over. The floor wasn’t clean. You have to ask to have the hot water turned on only no one told us until the third day. Staff friendly and responsive when asked but you had to ask for whatever you needed. We stayed many days and I had to ask fir them to clean the floors etc. Towels were clean but stained and water pressure was a dribble. A bit over priced for what you get but an amazing location.

J’avais déjà séjourné dans cet hôtel 3 fois il y a quelques années et j’avais été ravie par cet hôtel un peu ancien mais accueillant. L’hôtel est aujourd’hui dans un état de décrépitude avancé et le service déplorable. L’etabIissement est sale, non entretenu. Sur un séjour de trois nuits, la chambre, la salle de bain n’ont pas été nettoyées ; le lit jamais refait ! Le personnel n’est plus accueillant. L’emplacement de l’hôtel près du Ghat principal reste certes incomparable mais le prix des chambres est exorbitant considérant la prestation proposée. A éviter !

Reserved room with River view at higher price. But unavailable so given room 301 on 4th floor. No refund. Long walk up stairs to 4 the floor, small,.needs updating, noisy, and no view. And they forgot to tell me to call desk to turn on hot water for shower. The next ight given room 302 with lovely view, bigger, updated, and quieter. Staff was very good after first night. Included breakfast at Dolphin is excellent.

Positivo solo tiene la ubicación. El hotel es un desastre y la organización un caos! No hubo día que no pasase por recepción y hubiese alguien quejándose. La habitación es viejísima y el baño más. Cada vez que necesitabas el agua caliente tenias que avisar para que encendiesen el calentador! El wifi va mal.

スタッフがフレンドリーで安心して泊まれる良い宿です。しかし部屋の質は女性や子供には向かないと思います。冷房は効きすぎるくらい。ホテル自体はガートや寺院に近いので、とても良い立地で観光向きです。隣接のドルフィンレストランもエアコンが効いていて快適。空港からタクシー送迎は往復1600Rsでした。(2018.10月時点)ただし手配を忘れられていることがあるので利用日の朝に再確認した方が良いです。また、日本人が宿泊の際には日本語の話せるガイドさんが寄ってくると思いますが、悪い人ではないです。ガイド代やボート代は先に交渉して納得してから手配をしてもらいましょう。土産物屋に連れて行かれると思いますが、買いたければ買えば良いし、買いたくなければ毅然とした態度を。相手もそういう商売なので、商談をされても気を悪くしないのが楽しく過ごすコツです。

Ghatにちょー近くてロケーションは最高だが、リラックス度はいまいち。

ロケーションは最高だが、1ダブルベッドルームだったが、事前情報での湯沸かしポットがなかった。また1月末で寒かったのだが、ヒーターが作動しなかった。ベッドの位置がなぜかわからないが異常に高くて、腰を据えるところがなかったので落ち着かず。

One night in varanasi

Óptima localização junto ao ghat principal. Restaurante junto ao hotel é muito conveniente, com boa vista e boa comida. O espaço e pessoal da recepção são muito simpáticos. O quarto é demasiado pequeno. Cabe apenas cama e os hóspedes têm que passar a vez no corredor. Casa de banho com respiradouro que liga ao quarto do lado, ouve-se tudo, dá pouca privacidade. No geral, para uma noite em varanasi e tendo em conta os padrões locais, recomendo.

TIPS on hotel,BOAT RIDES AND TRAVEL IN VARANASSI B

Room are small. Staff very friendly nd helpful. Rate as a 2 star for room size..but a 5 star for location.Taxi can't drip u to hotel or pick u up. You have to walk from taxi to hotel...about 10 minutes. Not safe to walk on the busy dusty roads. Tell the hotel to have a rickshaw [small 3 wheeler) to pick u up after taxi drop off and to take u to hotel..very cheap about 30 rupees cost. Do the same returning to airport. Hotel has hot decent food. Difficult to find a decent eatery in Old varnassi by ganges. Market is 1 minute away..can eat lots of fruits. You can negotiate boat ride price on the banks of ganges itself...lots of competitors..should not pay more than 150 to 200 rupees per hour. Streets r dirty nd dusty. If u can, walk with a small shield for your nose nd mouth when on the dusty road. Not suitable for children unless u stay in a 5 star hotel..they will suffer.

Отель расположен очень удачно

Отель расположен очень удачно. Номера довольно приличные, чисто. Горячей воды мало, с трудом хватало на двоих человек. Вечером, часов наверное в 9-10, закрывают двери на замки. Но охрана всегда рядом и когда постучишь, сразу открывают. Рядом с отелем много нищих и попрошаек, но чувствовали себя все равно в безопасности

ガンガーに近く、一定の清潔さもあって、子供連れでも特に問題は無かった。ただし、値段が少し高いかな。また、窓が汚れていたこと、その窓は開けることが出来なかった事を考えると、リバービューのメリットは少なかった感じた。他にルーフトップが改装中など残念な点はあった。

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities

割高なホテル

リバービューの部屋に泊まったのだが、高いお金を払って泊まる価値はまったくなかった。確かに目の前にガートがあったが、ただそれだけでしかなく、部屋にはバルコニーはもちろん、テーブルや椅子までないのでガンジス川を見ながらゆったり過ごすことはできない。 屋上のレストランも改装中とかで閉まっていた。 シャワーも最悪で、お湯は出たが一本一本の線が横に拡散しすぎで、体にお湯を当てることは不可能だった。シャワーヘッドから出てくるお湯が開いた時の傘の骨そのものであった。仕方ないので、蛇口がへその上くらいの高さにあったので、体をかがめて蛇口から出てくるお湯を浴びた。 朝食はロビーでバッフェ方式で、日替わりのカレー、プーリー、オムレツ、トーストなどであった。 ルームサービスでビールを頼んだら1本300ルピーだったが、翌々日に別のホテルではまったく同じものが175ルピーでもってきてくれた。
