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.

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.

Book it and enjoy an easy time at the Ghats!!!
My experience with the MRK was really great, im a Solo traveler from Denmark, stayed 2 nights! Here are some tips for reaching the hotel: you will not be 100% able to take a taxi or so to the front door! You will be dropped of about 8-900 meters from the hotel! Use Google maps to get to the Hotel, once in the area, just ask at shops, and they will show you the small entrance. But beleive me, you will love that the traffic are less at the location! Checkin was easy, ALL the staff are very nice and helpfull. Rooms are like they are in India for the price, Wifi are working, but don’t expect to stream 4k Videos! The location for the Ghats can not be more easy! 60 meters walk, and you are at the stairs to th Ghat’s and evening Ceremony! I enjoyed all my meals there! Open kitchen, great meny, lovely omelette for breakfast! The owner are a really nice guy, him and his staff really wants people to have a great stay! My best recommendations!!!
