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.
