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
