Varanasi hotel rooms a the Independent

"Amazing experience beautiful historical building and the staff is the best "

"All Good at Sri Oskar Palace. Since it was not high season My Aircon no-river view was complementarily upgraded, to A Riverview room complete with a great shared balcony. They were really good at getting me from and back to the airport with the taxi service. My only issue, and it is not the fault of the hotel, was the aggressive monkeys. They would come onto the balcony and at first, be cute. I made the mistake of letting one sip some beer I poured for it on the top of the wall. It made a great Social Media post, but the next day, two monkeys joined me up on the balcony, and I didn’t have any beer!! They were not happy and acted out towards me… I Didn’t feel totally safe up there after that… Don’t give ANYTHING to the monkeys! Have breakfast away from the edge on the rooftop, because monkeys jumped on our tables and made a mess and broke glasses all over the floor…"

"Excellent price for the package - if you’re doing a couple of days in Varanasi for sight-seeing, then the included breakfast, high tea and 2 pieces of laundry are very helpful. Frustratingly, the hotel has a “no outside food” policy, but the dining options are pretty reasonable, so it’s not too bad. You’re quite far from any of the tourist spots, so you’ll need to get autos/ taxis from the hotel every time. The overall standard of the hotel is high - much higher than I was expecting for the price. Recommended."

"Location of the Hotel is excellent .Accessibility to all sights were very easy as a tourist .Food's quality were very good .Services of crew members were worth appreciating . I would like to suggest some more additional improvement I stayed in room no 403 : - 1) . mirror position need to be relocated at a convenient place for easiest access to the nearest of the mirror with a light on the wall . 2) Up dating of the room before handing over the room to the customer for stay .For example in room no 405 - Flash tank not functioning .In both room 403 and 405 commode showers water flow very slow and less ,needs cleaning of the filters. 3) Availability of chair and thermos flask in all rooms . This two items were not in room no 405 . 4) Supply of hot water must be made available from morning 5 AM onwards as most visitors are on pilgrimage tour and would like to visit temples after taking bath . I would request you to provide electric flask in every room as a positive improvement .and periodic maintenance must be done methodically . I thanks the management for the excellent support extended to customers ."
