Guest Reviews
- Ralli (9/5): Excellent location with our old heritage - Must appreciate there maintenance being such an old property but the satff and mangement maintained well. Will surely recommend to our near and dear ones who want to visit Varanasi. Location was excellent and Breakfast was too good. Hotel restaurant is costly and no discount for the people staying there.
No buffe food is there that we missed. Atleast they have to arrange this.
- Anju (1/5): not recommended for family - Room size is decent Check in time was 2 pm still i was not given the room till 3 pm. No information related to included breakfast was provided to me.
- Sinni (4/5): - It's big hotel. Cost Vs Hotel Amenities
Cost Vs Location (not on main road)
Service
Rooms requires maintenance
- Shalabh (10/5): Excellent - Very nice and cozy place
- BARARIA (10/5): -
- KAUSHIK (7/5): -
- Naiyar (3/5): There’s no good reception where they received the guest staff are not polite. Food is not good. Rooms are very very smal - I did not like anything in this properties compared to the similar price
North, what to be in this property after paying more than reserve The hotels look like the local hotels nothing was good to mention
- amit (6/5): -
- mehra (10/5): - Ambience was perfect Food taste
- Anup (6/5): -
- KG_UK (9/5): Exceptional service - We stayed here as a family with elderly parents. The hotel staff including the restaurant and service staff are exceptional.
Overall the hotel itself is very beautiful and has a great restaurant and cafe serving good food.
We also organised our travel for a week through the travel desk and Mr. Shailendra was very helpful. Even when we were not in Varanasi he checked in regularly to ensure the service from the driver/guide was good.
He assigned a excellent guide and driver to us Mr Rajesh, who was extremely polite, well mannered and extremely helpful. He went out of way to ensure my elderly parents were able to have a very good trip. He also managed the rest of travel from Varanasi, Prayag to Ayodhya for us including places to eat, rest stop and right timing to visit various tourists spots which would be convenient for elderly. I observed this in most hotels in India that the towels are not well maintained to be white. While minor as a international traveller I think this falls short of nice experience. Also the toilets and shower area could do with deep clean. While it was clean enough and well maintained it will please the customers if the level is further improved as it overall impacts the experience especially given this hotel welcomes a lot of international guests.

- Nira (10/5): Wonderful Staff - .The hotel is beautiful, with a garden in the center, really needed for resting and breathing after a day near the Gangues
. The room was very comfortable, the beds very good
Breakfast had everything you asked for. and all the dishes we had for dinner were very tasty
But the best of all is the staff, all of them polite
Most of all Mr Shailendra Singh, that helped us with everything we needed and more.

- Cláudia (9/5): Voltarei a ficar lá se retornar a Varanasi. - A comida do restaurante é maravilhosa,
os funcionários muito educados e prestativos.
- Purushottam (9/5): -
- Purushottam (9/5): -
- Raghunath (10/5): -
- Tim (5/5): Comfortable place to stay in busy Varanasi but rather old-fashioned. - The history and grandeur of the place. It was difficult to build a good relationship with many of the staff. There were a lot of them involved for even the simplest of tasks. We also had the feeling that they were expecting tips for most things. This doesn’t fit with the European mindset. Other similar hotels have tip boxes which are then shared. This would be better. Good relationships between the customers and staff are vital for a good stay. I hope this helps.
- Sahil (8/5): Recommend!! - The staff was very courteous, nice overall ambience, good facilities, and good food at the restaurant. Rooms could be more spacious, but it works.
- Sundeep (8/5): -
- Manjunath (3/5): - Zero facilities in the room. Hair dryer, TV, heater did not work.
- Salim.Mark (8/5): -
- Bajpayee (9/5): - I like the hotel very much, its ambience, food and cute park at the centre. just the location, nothing else. everything was so good.
- Anushka (3/5): - Food Bedding, bed itself was uncomfortable. Shower had problems.
- Sukesh (7/5): -
- cibi (10/5): - It was a good property with a great ambiance.

- RISHAV (10/5): Very good - Very good Nothing
- Rakesh (10/5): -
- Darshita (10/5): -
- Raghav SAI Krishna Chaitanya (6/5): - Very bad breakfast. I believe nothing in the world is free. On the pretext of mentioning complimentary breakfast you cannot just serve anything.
- BHOGRA (5/5): Old property. Tariff was much higher than the facility on offer. - Breakfast had vety limited options, it was cold. Couldn’t have anything for breakfast.
All in all - needs serious thought and improvement.
- Shubham (10/5): -

- SANGEETA (9/5): - Location, staff behaviour, food It is bit old property
- Sandeep (8/5): - Location, value for money Complementary breakfast
- Anuradha (2/5): -
- Scheuring (10/5): This is a great hotel in the Cantonment area of Varanasi with kind and helpful staff and good facilities. - It was a comfy luxury accommodation at a very affordable price. Staff were kind. There were great facilities including a good restaurant and a really good cocktail bar. I was hoping to pay with a credit card but told I had to pay cash when I arrived. Not a big problem for me but I thought a hotel of this stature would accept foreign credit cards.
- Laxmi kant (3/5): -
- Shivangi (10/5): Perfect budget stay - The food was good and the property is beautiful, centrally located. Bathroom amenities were scarce and the bathroom interiors were old fashioned
- Rajeev (6/5): - Rooms are big and Location is good Very old property need proper maintenance, our room lock was not working.
- Siuli (10/5): Very good Hotel. - All good. Nothing to say.
- Yadav (10/5): -
- Mehra (8/5): I expect booking.com to check the star rating of the property before listing it at the website. - Disappointing check in.
On our arrival and after taking advance payment, we were shown one by one 3 diff. small, separate beds rooms outside the main property, which we refused to take, the staff at reception insisted harshly to take it.
After intervention of one senior manager, we were allotted a room as per our booking after an hours time.
- Jack (10/5): -
- modi (8/5): -
- Saurabh (6/5): I would say an average stay but services and prices need to match. - Overall good location in Varanasi. Good for family. Good parking space. The facility did not have a gym. The swimming pool timings - Opens at 10:00 AM & closes 7:00 PM. They did not even had the urge that anyone can use swimming pool before time. Similar in breakfast very standard set menu. When I asked can I order fresh paratha etc, they said what ever is on menu that is what is available. Nothing additional can be ordered.
- Somesh (5/5): -
- Tatyana Semyonovna (9/5): -
- Prakash (5/5): I never want to stay here again - Staff is not cooperating nature. Sarvice is very poor
- Upendra (4/5): - We had booked two rooms in the hotel . Both were given in the first floor . One of the rooms had the water leak and was allocated this room inspite of the team being aware . There was no wifi in the first floor . Later when we had complained the room was changed the next day .
The 2nd floor room was much better in space and cleanliness. The wifi also had better signal in the 2nd floor
- Atul (7/5): -
- Archit (9/5): -
- Alex (9/5): Boa - Do lugar muito bonito, da comida, dos funcionários, do quarto apesar de ser cama de casal Wi-Fi ruim, as vezes a energia caia, reservei camas de solteiro e era de casal mesmo o quarto sendo bom
- Leonor (5/5): - La piscina es lo que se puede salvar en comparación al resto Viejo y con un mantenimiento pésimo.
Teníamos dos habitaciones, una en el primer piso q tenía hasta goteras y humedades el techo del pasillo, la segunda planta parecía estar algo mejor.
Los baños vergonzosos.
Colchones para tirar directamente
- Vinay (10/5): Overall nice stay - Ambience, breakfast was also good, room was neat. Flush was defective and continously flowing.
- pradipta (8/5): -
- POULAMI (1/5): - Nothing. Worst. It was a horrible experience. The property is run by a group of uneducated and unprofessional people. Starting from the reception, reservation manager, general manager all are unprofessional and liar. It seems the owner is not updated on what's going on in his hotel. Please do not book this hotel. It only looks good, the rest are all worst. I think booking.com should review it from their customers and immediately remove this hotel from their site.
- Giulia (10/5): Un vero lusso - Struttura eccellente. Fuori dal caos di Varanasi, questo hotel offre piscina, spa, ristorante e bar. Struttura veramente di lusso con camera spaziosa e balcone con vista sul giardino. Personale accogliente, disponibile e gentile; super educati e pronti a risolvere qualsiasi problema. Ci sono venuti incontro anche sul late check-out. Colazione a buffet ottima, con varie opzioni. Consiglio davvero questa struttura, noi l’abbiamo scelta dopo essere scappate dagli hotel del centro. Meglio essere distanti e soggiornare in un vero paradiso!
- Agarwal (2/5): -
- Gopalakrishnan Potty (8/5): -
- satapathy (3/5): Horrible - Nothing Everything
- Lisa (8/5): - The Room was good, restaurant was lovely and good food. The swimming pool was great too. Unfortunately they are doing some room renovations so it was a bit noisy with drilling noise most of the day.
- Amitkumar (6/5): -
- GAUTAM (1/5): Booking . Com should delist the property - They charged me twice for my stay. Complaint has been sent to Booking. Com customer service
- Sonal (10/5): It was wonderful. Property is amazing. Food . Staff and comfort excellent - Reception area looks ordinary. It should be beautiful.
- MONJISH (8/5): It was a good place to stay as the Hotel is quite spread over greenery and space - The Lawn of the Hotel was spacious and really good looking, and the breakfast was also good, But the rooms allocated was not good enough. Ambience inside the room, sitting arrangement like chairs in the room, etc.
- luuk (1/5): Nooit meer - Lelijk en oud Vies
- Alexandra (7/5): Gute Lage zum Flughafen mit Pool - Pool, freundliches Personal Schimmel samt Giftbehandlung vor dem Zimmer.
Textilshop im Hotel liefert keine Qualität… verlorene Zeit.
- Alessia Bouvier (10/5): - Très bel hôtel. Piscine super. Les chambres sont grandes et confortables. Très propre et personnel au petit soin.
Terrasse jardin superbe Les hommes à la réception pourrait être un peu plus aimable.
- Anuj (5/5): Passable - There was no arrangement for the people staying over there for bar access as they had already reserved it for outsiders
- Viren (9/5): Nice and comfortable - Staff and space
- Shreya (8/5): Very good -
- Aman (9/5): Comfortable , Clean Rooms , Attentive Staff and Great Food -
