It's a reliable, honest, safe, value-for-money, well-equipped and family-run hotel situated close to the Varanasi Junction railway station. This hotel was one reason our long tour started well and ended well. Below are the many pros and few minor cons of this place. PROs: Decent, helpful & professional staff: Everybody, from the owner to the staff, all were very polite, sincere and helpful. They called us a day prior, early checking is allowed if rooms available, they let you keep your luggage for a while after checkout if trains are late, etc. Good location: This hotel is hardly 500m straight from Varanasi station entrance. Proximity to station helps you catch train at any time. Facilities: The hotel offers a nice in-house restaurant, lift, warm water, wi-fi, clean rooms, warm water, fire-alarms, room service, toiletries etc. Affordable: The hotel is quite fairly-priced based for their services and location. CONs: Parking: Actually the hotel is situated approx. 50m in a narrow lane/gully (the gully between "Hotel Gautam Grand" and "Hotel Raj Kamal Palace"). It was no problem for us, but check with owner beforehand if you are coming by own 4-wheeler.
