Its location was very good, you could walk along the Ghats from the Hotel.and because it overlooks the river there are lots of opportuniites to people watch from the garden on the roof. It was facinating watching daily life and rituals being performed.Take a sunrise boat trip, it is very atmospheric. Heritage Hotel, well maintained, helpful staff, good rooms, baths... More

The hotel is really very overpriced and definitely not a palace. I found the staff somewhat surly and over eager for tips. Judging by other reviews it seems there are various qualities of room and if you are in the basement I would forget it. The second floor is fine but thisplace is so expensive - withthe exchange its about... More

Staying in Varanasi is an incredible experience, and being on the river, added to this, but Varanasi is an easy place to be. I think this is one of the best places to stay in town. The alternative is to stay in a big fancy western hotel outside the city. Whats the point? There is not view of the river,... More

On arrival the reception wasn't aware of our booking and therefore we were grateful to have a room available. However we were placed in a basement room without a window. The basement room felt damp and there were a few bad smells and bugs in the bathroom. We requested an alternative room and after another night in the basement we... More

Our room was dark, damp and smelly, simply not a place you want to stay for more than sleeping and a quick shower. It was so damp that the air-co send visible clouds into our room - not very nice. The restaurant was ok, but small and dark. They have a rooftop terrace, but for some reason it is only... More

This hotel is clean, quiet and has comfortable rooms. The staff are very pleasant and helpful. It is located near Assi Ghat, which we liked as it was quiet and peaceful and there are good restaurants and cafes near by. It is a 20-30 min walk along the river to the main ghats or a short tuk-tuk ride. Overall, this... More

This hotel is a total rip off. The rooms are bad, dirty and filthy. For this price, you will get a quality star hotel in the city. While checking in, they said breakfast will be served in the basement. To our astonishment, we were charged Rs. 850.00 for a mediocre spread without warning. The front office staff were out right...

Just stayed at the hotel not a very pleasent stay from 1611.2011-18.11.2011 2 nights, the room had no view right on a wall the towels were NOT clean neither were the sheets ! The blanket very oldfashioned suits guest houses not hotels that call themselves 3.5 * hotel. No television, not a big deal, but why put TV if it... More

The only good thing about the hotel is that it's near the Ghats and we can walk there early in the morning to see the sunrise and the food of the restaurant is good although the room is unpleasent. The reception clerks are more interested in getting money with the taxis rather then providing a good service. I paid 75... More
