My stay at the hotel in Varanasi was pretty good overall. The hotel was clean and the service was mostly friendly, but my check-in experience was quite frustrating. The location was convenient for accessing the railway station, but the road conditions and taxi pricing from the airport were disappointing.

I had a very disappointing experience at this hotel. Upon arrival, I found that the room I booked was non-air-conditioned, which was not clearly indicated anywhere. Customer service was unhelpful and dismissive. The room itself was old and not well-maintained, but at least it was somewhat clean. While the price was affordable, the constant issues made it not worth it. This hotel might be acceptable for budget travelers, but I would recommend looking for alternatives.

I found this hotel to be a great budget option during my trip. The staff was generally helpful, especially the receptionist, but I encountered issues with the service approach from some staff members. The location is peaceful, allowing for a nice stay away from the city's hustle. While the rooms were spacious and tidy, there were some maintenance issues that needed attention.

My stay at Gautam Hotel was truly memorable. The staff were incredibly helpful and went out of their way to facilitate my needs, making me feel right at home. The rooms were spacious and thoughtfully designed for comfort. However, the dining options were a downside as the food took time to arrive and the quantity was less than expected.

I had an incredible stay at Hotel Gautam in Varanasi. The property is reputed and offers a wonderful experience with excellent food and quick service.
