Great option in Varanasi
Very comfy room and terrific location in Varanasi. Just close enough—5 minutes walk—to the ghats to be totally convenient, but just enough outside the main part of the old city to feel like a bit of a haven. Room in good shape, solid restaurant. Only complaint is that the staff is a bit too hover-y and solicitous in the restaurant, but that’s a small thing.

This hotel is lovely and even though on main road it is quiet inside with a really good quality of rooms. Each room is air conditioned and has really good facilities. The team are brilliant helping with questions about where to go shopping negotiating Rikshaw prices. The food is hot and whilst you have to remember at breakfast food comes first and then your hot drink there is nothing to complain about and the prices are reasonable. A really lovely hotel to stay in.

The hotel is very good, everything is very clean, and with a very good location, you can rest very well after your day's activities and the chaos of the city you arrive tired, so what you will need is a good bath and a good bed and this hotel has the conditions, I recommend it 100% its staff is friendly, Lalit one of the councilors or who is in charge of cleaning is very friendly and helps you in everything in his hands so that you feel comfortable with your room, the food is very good and of quality, it also has a unique restaurant and it is vegetarian, it is a small but cozy hotel.

Good to see ghats and go for Ganges boat ride.
Close to ghats in a busy area. The bathroom had mold, but the shower and bed were OK. Not noisy. Got tired of eating at the buffet, although we liked the food for the most part and the service was good.

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.

Staff lovely and very convenient to walking to The Ganges. Breakfast very limited…they ran out of coffee constantly, and when served it wasn’t good, and if busy cups and plates. Indian breakfast way better than European (sliced bread and packaged jam). Found a lot of noise in the corridor outside my room when I stayed- but that was fault of guests not hotel. Lovely to wake and watch monkeys playing on the buildings opposite. Would stay again…but not pay for breakfast…

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

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.
