Great Varanasi Value
Hotel Dolphin Grand in Varanasi is a fantastic value. Very conveniently located and comfortable hotel for the price. Sure, there might be nicer places in town and ones closer to the Ghats, but they cost a lot more and will be much noisier. Dolphin is close enough to walk to the Ganges, and located on a main street where it is easy to find a Tuk Tuk if you need a ride to the farther parts of town. The room is comfortable enough for two people. The shower did get a little water on the floor, but not a big deal. The staff was very kind and helpful, especially Lakshmi at the front desk. Breakfast in the lobby was tasty.

Enjoyed my stay at the Grand Dolphin. The service was warm and attentive, the hotel clean and the food quite good. As a foreign traveller, I found the area a little tricky to navigate but there were always rickshaws nearby to help me get around.

Excellent hotel close/ walkable to all major attractions Kashi Vishwanth temple, ghats. Excellent service, friendly staff. Had an excellent stay.

10/10 Exceptional

Either newly built or renovated. The place was clean and nicely appointed. Close enough to the ghats so that you can walk to it in 15 min.

The hotel is close to Ganges River, but is was outdated, dirty and very expensive for what we payed for.

Exceptional newer property close to the river. Room was modern and everything worked perfectly. Service was excellent. The restaurant attracts locals and is very good.

Very good hosptality. Proximity to many tourist places-river, ghats, temples. Food is excellent in the restaurant. Really nice hotel placed perfectly for many activities. Thank you to the staff. We will visit again.
Tarakeswari, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Location is good if you want to walk down to the ghats. Restaurant is good, but vegetarian only. Room is a decent size and it all worked well but a thermostatic shower mixer would have been nice. WiFi is good. Having learned more about that area of town, I'd definitely stay there again.

10/10 Exceptional

Staff at Grand Dolphin were very helpful and courteous, starting from the front desk management to the dining staff. Laksmi from the reservation team made my car bookings to Ayodhya, Boat Tour for Ganga Aarati and Airport pick up. Prices were reasonable and she was very responsive to my requests. I would highly recommend the hotel to anyone travelling to Varanasi.
Sarita, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

What a fabulous find in the midst of such an amazing and vibrant city. A real oasis when a bit of peace and quiet was required. A great welcome by the whole excellent staff , including the ever helpful Krishna with his huge smile. The room was extremely well maintained, clean and comfortable. The food and service in the restaurant was as of a very good standard. The hotel is well located for walking and short rickshaw rides to all the main sights. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would certainly recommend it highly to anyone visiting Varanasi.

Perfect location for Banaras getaway
We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The rooms were super nice with comfy beds and good ameneties. The staff was very friendly and attentive to the needs of our family. This at an excellent location not too far from the popular ghats. The breakfast and lunch buffets at the restaurant were excellent in terms of variety and quality. Garima and the rest of front desk staff were very helpful in sorting out our reservation issues with hotels.com and planning our visits around the city

Shashi, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

It’s nice hotel with good customer service, the only negative is noise from the road. It has good Restaurent in it and close to Gaht to travel to Ganges. With my limited time I couldn’t plan ahead but they have services which is an added adavantage for this hotel.

The room was pretty clean, but upon looking more closely at one of the provided bottled waters, the seal had been broken and it was filled to a different level than the other bottle with an unbroken seal.
