Excellent Hotel . Very caring staff. Room though could have added dresser table and two chairs instead of one would be better
as I missed that.
Breakfast buffet was very good lots of choices.
Nikita there was very helpful.
I almost thought we will get shares in the company .
Reasonably good. However, the A/C is not multimodal, so I had to request a room heater. The staff in the restaurant are very helpful and go out of the way to meet personal requests.
Absolutely amazing service. Buffett options were fantastic. Spa massage with Hussain is highly recommended. Salon services offered are just average and not really recommended. Fantastic location and perfect place to relax from hustle and bustle of Varanasi temple streets. Rooms are very nice and all amenities are amazing. Highly recommended
Well located property. Feels a bit crowded and dated.

Great warm service by Arjun and Punam for the breakfast. Average service by lunch team. Room was good. The property was otherwise beautiful. Enjoyed walking to the greens. Front security guards were very warm and helpful.
Great staff, great dining experience at Varuna restaurant, the attendant Abhishek great service and hospitality, recommend highly, probably best hotel and restaurant in town, the hotel, staff and management had paid attention even to minor issues in details.
