Great location! Very pleasant! Awesome service! The staff was very friendly and they made sure all my needs were met. I loved the place.

Super convenient to Vishwanath Temple. Indian hotels needs a big customer service lesson in regards to toiletries. Asked many times for fresh hand towels but never received for the first 2 nights. After repeatedly demanding they gave 1 on the day of my checkout.

Lo único bueno es la ubicación frente al río Ganges para ir a los eventos pero el acceso es terrible, cobran muy caro por introducirte y sacarte del hotel hasta la vía principal. Los Taxis solicitados en el hotel son el triple de caros y aparte te piden propina.

6/10 Good

メインバザールから少し入ったところにあるため、インド特有のクラクションの悩みはほぼ感じられず。メインバザールまでもすぐ近くなのでアクセスは良いです。部屋がお香の匂いが強過ぎたりちょっと古くて汚いが値段相応。かなり混雑した場所にあるので女性1人は少し不安を感じるかもしれません。

立地は素晴らしい 水回りを始め、設備は値段相応ではない。デラックスルームでもおそらく水回りはあまり変わらない。トイレットペーパーはあるが。 ドライヤーがないので注意が必要。

8/10 Very good

Pros - close to ghat, decent rooms, good service. Cons - cars cannot come to the hotel as they do not allow in this area so you have to walk quite a distance to get in or out which is not easy if you have lot of luggage or mobiiity issues.

Pense bem
A estrutura do hotel deixa muito a desejar. A localizacao é boa em razão da proximidade do Ghat, mas é de dificil acesso. Os carros mais proximos te deixam ou te buscam para a hospedsgem a uns 15 minutos caminhando do hotel. Por isso, saiba que, se nao reservar o traslado deles, tera que caminhar, com suas malas, mas "ruas" de Varanasi por uns 15 minutos. Eu reservei o transfer do hotel. Mas eles nao apareceram no aeroporto, entao tive que me virar. A equipe nao e boa, não explica as regras da hospedagem. Alem disso, o banheiro compartilhado é do tipo indiano, exclusivamente. Portanto, se voce nao se adaptar, fica bastante complicado de fazer as necessidades. Nada contra o banheiro tipico deles, mas esteja avisado que nao existem vasos e os chuveiros são com os tradicionais baldes. Foi uma estadia complicada

　ガンジス川沿いの人気ホテルと聞いて、周辺ホテルに対して高額の料金を支払ったが、まずは部屋に金庫がない。タオルも一枚も置いてなく、電話で持参するよう依頼。しかし届いたのは湿った生乾きの状態。マネージャーにクレームをつけると、「すぐに替えさせるが、乾きにくい季節のせいかもしれない」と言う。再び届いたタオルもまた生乾きの状態で不愉快極まりなし。また、シャンプーがないので注文すると「シャンプーは置いてない」とのことだった。 　さらに１月上旬のバラナシは極寒なのに、エアコンは暖房運転にならず、ヒーターもない。シャワーのお湯は５分もせずに水になる。 　レストランは屋外でディナーには不向きなこの季節、焚火がそばにあると有難いのだが、それで暖を取っているのはスタッフだけ。寒そうにしている客のことを全く考えていないようすだった。 　極め付きはベッド。シーツの上にベッドカバーがかぶせてあるだけで、毛布は自分で棚から出してベッドメイキングせねばならなかった。そして２泊したのに部屋に掃除に来てくれない。 　車両侵入禁止の旧市街にあるため、タクシーで近くまで到着後、ポーターに迎えに来てもらって歩かねばならないのだが、いつまで待ってもポーターが来ない。挙げ句の果てに通常チップの５倍の１００ルピーを要求してくる始末。 　明らかに「安宿」だ。だったら料金が高額過ぎる。旅の歩き方を指南する某有名ガイドブックの一番初めに掲載されているが、削除すべきだと思う。客をバカにしたホテルだ。
