Great Location, But Not Comfortable

The only good thing about this hotel is its location. It’s perfectly situated close to all the major landmarks in the city, making sightseeing very convenient. However, the biggest issue is transportation. No vehicles are allowed in the area, so you have to walk at least 700–800 meters with your luggage.

This was especially difficult in the extreme heat (44°C) and with a child. It was a very uncomfortable and exhausting experience.

The room itself was extremely small—comparable to a matchbox. While the hotel does have an in-house restaurant, the food was just okay, nothing special.

Overall, I would not recommend this hotel if you are looking for comfort or ease of access. It might suit solo travelers who are okay with walking and don’t mind compact rooms, but for families or anyone with mobility concerns, this place is not ideal.

Had to move hotels to get any sleep!

Booking was supposed to include breakfast; however, the owner charged us 450. Went on 2nd morning for breakfast because we had a walking tour booked but the owner is the only staff who can speak English and he was sleeping in the lobby. Cook refused to look at photos on my phone of what we wanted to eat.

Noise level was INSANE. Got perhaps 4 hours of sleep each night. Checked out of hotel one day early without breakfast again because we needed to get some sleep before traveling to our next city, waited for room inspection, was told to pay money. Paid. Got a phone call from the owner asking me to return to the property because he forgot to charge me for the laundry service I used!!!!

Convenient place in the heart of the ghats.

Very conveniently located near the ghats. A bit of noise at night with occasional dog(s) barking. I arrived near the festival of Shiva so it may have been busier at night than normal. Friendly staff.

Excellent location for all things Varanasi. Kind and helpful staff and property managers. This is a hotel on the ghats that is affordable. So expect rudimentary facilities.

Ok, remember, this is India. Everywhere could use a fresh coat of paint and a little maintenance. That being said, this hotel was the very best located in Varanasi. You are thirty feet from the greatest action in the city. The staff is delightful and friendly and super helpful. The restaurant served the best food we found during our visit. Unless you’re looking for a five star hotel experience, this is the best place we found in Varanasi.

Great location but very basic

The best thing about this hotel was location, you literally are 3 minutes walk to the main Ghat, however the hotel is very basic, they couldn't even supply a heater, I was there during the cold season. Getting hot water you would have to tell the front staff to switch on the geyser and then wait 10-15 mins for the hot water. No toilet roll provide and when asked, I was handed one which only had a little left, was told they would get me a roll next day. Next day nothing, so asked again and again given a roll which hardly had any paper left and again told they would give me a full roll later. I never did get a full roll and had to go and buy my own! If you want to be right where the evening Aarti occurs then the location is perfect, however I would only stay for 1 night due to the basic level of the room and service.

A great location, great staff, great restaurant. After staying at another hotel in Varanasi, sweating all night and sharing a bathroom this hotel was just what we needed. Clean, affordable and best location.

日本語を話せる方がいたのでとても心強かったです。
客室はとても清潔でした。
ロケーションも、メインガートまで徒歩1～2分という好立地です。
僕が泊まった部屋は冷蔵庫も完備していました。

滞在中に一度エアコンと冷蔵庫が切れたのでホテルの方に尋ねると、
停電が起きておりインバーターでバックアップしていない機器が
動作していないとのことでした。
猛暑の日でしたが、照明・シーリングファンは可動していたため
最悪はまぬがれることができました。

バラナシで停電は仕方ないとして、
そのあたりの用意を含めて、いいホテルだと感じました。
