Modern,clean room with powerful air con.Comfortable bed.Quality towels.My room was quiet .Double-paned windows. The best feature of this hotel is "location. 2 minutes by rickshaw to the ghats.Or a 6-7 minute walk. Many more westernized hotels are an hour(minimum )from the Ganges due to nonstop daytime traffic.

The hotel is in perfect location for the ghats and major attractions in Varanasi. Loads of shops and good restaurants within walking distance. Facilities are clean and well maintained, room clean and comfortable and a fair size. Staff pleasant and provides and attentive service. Airport transfers are competitively priced. The only draw back for us was breakfast which did not provide a lot of choice for western palates.
