Nice hotel, Bad area
The hotel is good, staff were helpful and friendly. However, the area is not very good. It's about 25 minute drive to the river, a lot of tuk tuk drivers are unwilling to bring you. The area around the hotel was dodgy too.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The hotel said they did not have my booking, despite having paid in full. It took some time to locate my booking. The initial room I was given was next to a wall being jackhammered. It was small and dated. I requested a room change. There was no room service. The website states the hotel is three star, but it does not compare to other three-star hotels I have stayed in. I did not sleep well due to the noise and I did not feel safe. The only reason I stayed was because my booking was non-refundable. Even now I still question whether I would have been better off foregoing the money paid. I would not stay again and I would not recommend.

Inside the hotel it is good. Staff is very friendly. There was this guide who’s name is Vicky who was very friendly and had many connections with the Kashi vishwanath temple pandits who can help to expedite the Darshan, but you are in your own to deal with pandits on the offerings you do because there is not set fees for anything. I liked aloo parata deep fry in the complementary breakfast at the hotel. There Annapurna restaurant right behind the hotel where we had our dinners through out the stay. Hotel also arranged travels to Sangam. Overall this is better hotel given there are not many good hotels in the surrounding.

I forgot the mans name who works at the desk behind the main check in counter. He is married and building a house in Varanasi for himself and his extended family. I had a train ticket from Varanasi to Calcutta but no confirmed berth # - he was able to get me a berth # which was great fully appreciated by me!! If I come across his name in my notes I will write another review.

A stay made special.
Only stayed 2 nights in Varanasi, but this hotel and it's staff made the time special. Their guide took us to all the mystical and spiritual places and events. We would have been lost and struggling without their help. We experienced the Sun rising through the mist over the Ganges like a magnificent Red Ball of Fire. And we were there before anyone else! I hope to return to Varanasi again and will definitely stay here.
