Location
Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a great view of the main square near the temple and is well-insulated from sound, but the service can be slow at times. The location is perfect for exploring the Ganges, although public transport is not easily accessible. The dining experience is good, with an option for pasta, but may feel repetitive. In terms of facilities, the hotel provides all the essential services for convenience.
The hotel is conveniently located just a short walk from the temple and offers spacious and clean rooms. The service is friendly but could improve in customer orientation. The dining experience is average with limited options, and the overall location is a mix of pros and cons due to its proximity to main attractions.
I stayed at the hotel which offered clean and comfortable rooms and friendly staff, but the dining options were limited. The location was great for visiting the Ghats of Varanasi, and the price was excellent value considering the proximity to key attractions.
