The property is more run down than photos suggest, but still comfy. I was a bit let down by the condition given the high ratings, though everythingâs relative. Important: the hotel isnât reachable by car, rickshaw, or even pedal rickshawâyou have to walk 10â15 minutes from the closest drop-off. Contact the hotel for porters; theyâre essential. We visited during monsoon and didnât realize this, so we dragged rollerbags through narrow alleys with 2â of water, cow dung, and buzzing scooters. Backpacks are much easier. GPS can be off in the alleysâusing two phones or pausing until the dot jumps works. Staff was great and responsive, though one pushed tours and boats too hard. Food was good, and the location is epicâawesome Ganges view from the balcony. You donât need a guide for the burning ghats or aarti; Google Maps gets you close enough even with a few wrong turns. Touts in Varanasi (not the hotel) are the worst Iâve seen in India. Many lie to get moneyâignore them like locals do. Foreigners look like walking ATMs. Key rule: no photos at the burning ghats without family permission. You donât need to pay or have a guide to be there. Rain leaked through the balcony doors and brought a few ants, but not a huge issue. Airport taxi via hotel was âč1100âbeat-up car, no AC. Uber was âč945 but dropped us 800m away in the rain. Hotel porters help a lot. Recommend booking transport through the hotel but ask for a better car.
