Well, its cheap. That's all I can say.

The sheets were dingy. The towels were never changed. Its on a busy, noisy street. There were no windows in the room.

The restaurant is uninspired.

This was once a simple but decent hotel in one of the nicest areas of Varanasi (Asi Ghat). It has been under new management for the past two years, and it has deteriorated horribly. My friend and I stayed in one of the "better" rooms. It was if-fy at best, and when my friend was getting up one morning the bed collapsed, and the headboard fell onto the pillow where I was still sleeping and gave me a bad lump on the head. We were moved to an alternative room -- even dirtier than the first one. It was so filthy that there were not only cockroaches -- there were cockroaches IN the bed! It was one of the most miserable experiences of the many years we have spent traveling in India. It seems now to cater primarily to undiscriminating back-packers and uncaring tour directors. Avoid it!

Very nice hotel . we recomend to all visitors. very comfortable. very niced hotel

Hi there, would like to let you all know about this hotel we found in Varanasi. It's absolutley spotless and about a two minute walk to the Ghats. We had another hotel booked but declined when we saw the cleanliness, our tuk-tuk driver took us to this one and we were very pleased.
The rooms are a good size as is the bathroom and they were spotlessly clean. We got a good discount as well so that's always worth asking for.
We had a trip down the Ganges in the evening which was prganised by the hotel but unlike other placess we have stayed the prices were not hyped up at all.
We used the hotels restaurant called Yafar which is in the basement of the hotel and can thoroughly recommend their food. They have akitchen which you can see straight into and this also is spotlessly clean.
If you are spending some time in Varanisi I would recommend that you stay at this hotel, as I have said it is very clean, the owners are very informative and the staff are very helpful too.
Hope this helps some of you decide, you will not bve sorry yoou booked this hotel.
