Modern,clean room with powerful air con.Comfortable bed.Quality towels.My room was quiet .Double-paned windows. The best feature of this hotel is "location. 2 minutes by rickshaw to the ghats.Or a 6-7 minute walk. Many more westernized hotels are an hour(minimum )from the Ganges due to nonstop daytime traffic.

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.

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

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.
