Tajness needs to be present.
The property is good but obviously not Taj standard but understandable for Varanasi . The service however specifically the breakfast resturant is a far cry from say 2 years ago to date because they starff that wander around and pay little attention to guest . We complained and they were apologetic and in departure gave us a gift .i will really like to see the realy Tajness service in future .

Rooms are spacious and clean. Checkin and initial greeting was good. The not so great: breakfast is slow, staff seem lost and confused. E.g. ordered masala tea, took over 30mins to arrive. Ordering any thing off the menu just as slow, if not slower.

The hotel is conveniently located on the outskirts- so not in congested inner city. The Taj service and hospitality is always fantastic and this property lives up to the high standards. Special mention for the breakfast room staff (Ckowk) - Deepak, Stithy and Dhananjay- they were so so nice and made the stay wonderful. Front desk Supriya was also very helpful and made every effort to make us comfortable. This is a property I would highly recommend! 5*

The staff was excellent. The room was very comfortable. I left medication in my room when they checked out and they managed to get it to the airport in time for my flight. It's very difficult to train a staff as consistently good as Taj. I'd stay there again.
