    Wonderful experiences in Varanasi due to Hotel Alka and Munna bhai

    Premium rooms have balcony with view of Ganges. Please request for Premium room with private balcony as some of them have common areas.

    We are considering this hotel for a very short visit to Varanasi (24 hours). I am travelling with my mother who does have some mobility issues - she can walk but long distances or many steps can be a challenge. I like your hotel the best as it is on the river and our stay is so short that we want to maximize the trip. Questions: Do you offer airport transfers? How do we arrange for arrival via the river instead of through town? Can we get a main level room so my mom does not have to go up and down the stairs? We would like to do the evening boat cruise on arrival and the early morning sunrise pooja the next day which is our departure date. We would also like to shop for some banares saris. Can you help us ensure that can all be arranged? Is it possible to arrange for a tour guide for our entire visit? Thank you! Laja
