A perfect place for stay at the land of Shiva. Set amidst lush green meadows, the team led by Mr Vikas Nagar comprising Mr Arghya (F&B), Mr Santosh (F&B at Nadesar), Mr Pramod (Floor I/c), Guru (In-room dining) and Dilip (Housekeeping) were perfect host. Tasty Banarasi cuisine was served at Varuna and Chowk. The hotel celebrated Republic Day with great pomp and show. Everything about the property is perfect. Me and my family had a memorable stay.

Probably the best place to stay in Varanasi. Taj hospitality at its best. Breakfast and dinner are outstanding. Varanasi famed street food in the Hotel itself. And of course most hygienically prepared. Azar looked after us with warmth.

My entire team is extremely delighted to know that you enjoyed your stay at our hotel and this will definitely add on to our belief in continuing with our efforts to provide warm hospitality to our guests. In our recent renovation, we did attempt to increase the size of our rooms but were unable to do so due to design restrictions. We will definitely look into your suggestions in the next cycle.

Hospitality was awesome. Every single staff trying to make the experience even better. From restaurant manager to service staff, everything was awesome. Special thanks to Mr. Navneet ji manager from Chowk restaurant and Mr. Mayank ji who served us delicious food. It was our first wedding anniversary and it was worth the stay.

Great restaurant and super clean room. Tried to book couples massage, but desk could only point to code to be scanned. Many services listed but no prices. Keycards stopped working but evenually got housekeeping to let us in and ssid to go to front desk for new key. (perhaps they were too busy to have new keys sent to me) between somewhat limited time and several sets of hassles (new keys, getting price of treatments) we skipped massages. Hope the hotel and spa will make it easier tp use services.
