Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was delightful overall. The evening boat trip, complimentary restock of the minibar, and afternoon tea added value to our experience. Our room had a view over the Ganges, though it also came with some noise from the river. The level of comfort was decent, and the room size was reasonable with a comfortable bed, chairs, and a nice bathroom.
The hotel offers small but light packing traveler-friendly rooms with mesmerizing views of the river. The service is exceptional, with a unique no-tipping policy and friendly, knowledgeable staff. The location is truly spectacular, providing easy access to Varanasi's heritage sites. The dining options are good but not exceptional, while the facilities meet the basic needs of guests.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although small, were clean for local standards and offered a unique view of the Ganges from the tower room. The service was exceptional, with the staff genuinely caring for guests and showcasing Varanasi hospitality. The location, right by the Ganges, was ideal, but the dining experience wasn't quite in sync with the typical Banarasi breakfast.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the bright side, the staff was incredibly helpful with our luggage and settling into our room. The location by the river was gorgeous, with plenty of natural light streaming in through the windows. However, I was disappointed to find hair on the bedsheet from the previous guest, which made me restless and itchy throughout the night, affecting my overall stay. Additionally, the dining options fell short of my expectations, as the quality and variety were lacking compared to the prices charged.
The hotel offers professionally handled rooms of excellent standard, albeit on the small side, but clean and comfortable. The staff is helpful with luggage and settling in. The service is friendly and well-trained, making us feel welcomed and providing useful information. The location is fantastic, especially being next to the Ganga. However, the dining experience could be improved. Overall, a great value for the money.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. While the rooms were a bit of a disappointment and seemed overpriced, the service was exceptional, going out of their way to ensure every detail was met. The location is fantastic if one wants to be close to the core of Old Varanasi on the Ghats, but the dining experience, although delicious, could be improved. The hotel offers some great facilities, making the overall stay favorable.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, enjoying the spacious and beautifully appointed rooms with the best linens. Watching the boats pass by from the window was a treat, although the back alley views were a bit less appealing. The service was truly exceptional, with a caring and efficient team. The location was ideal for experiencing authentic Banaras and exploring the key tourist spots. The dining options were good, but a sunnier location for breakfast would have been preferred. Overall, a great experience with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel is located in the middle of the old area, right by the action on one of the ghats of the Ganges, a beautiful setting. The rooms, though not overly large, are adequate with easy access to the rooftop terrace. The dining experience offers a luxury variety and a thoughtful spread. The service is attentive, welcoming, professional, and extremely pleasant.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, though comfortable, had some cleanliness issues with hair on the bedsheets. The service was exceptional with a team of courteous and attentive staff members making our visit very accommodating. The location, right beside the Ganga, was stunning, but the dining experience fell short of expectations. Overall, a good experience with room for improvement.
