Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a decent location, with enjoyable walks to the ghats and a cool neighborhood. However, the staff can be creepy and manipulative. The rooms are good overall, but be cautious of mosquitoes. The stay was reasonably comfortable.
I felt like I was staying in a storage room, but at least it was clean and nice. The waiters were friendly and helpful, making up for the odd setting. The location was right on the river Ganga, which was ideal, but the dining experience put me off eating there at night.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, clean, and beautifully furnished with authentic furniture. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, even going out of their way to assist with tour arrangements and providing great local tips. The location was perfect, right by the Ganga river and within walking distance to the Ghats, offering a peaceful and picturesque setting. While the dining experience was average, the rooftop restaurant with a view of the Ganga made up for it. Overall, a great value for money with minor room for improvement.
The hotel is perfectly located near the Ganges river with a charming local style, offering clean, comfortable rooms and friendly, helpful service. The proximity to the Ghats is a major plus, but the dining options may be limited.
The hotel is in a prime location, just off the Ganges river, offering an ideal spot for relaxation. The rooms provide a mix of experiences, from fine to amazing, though some issues arose with repeated requests. The service is generally accommodating and friendly, but nocturnal disturbances affected our rest. Dining options, while with a beautiful Gangaview, didn't fully meet expectations. Overall, a good value for money stay with minor inconveniences.
