Krishnakumar

Loud flute and tabla music played in the small dining room every night. Initially entertaining, but annoying afterwards. Too many Namastes from everyone makes it look artificial - loses the natural interaction with staff. Small bar area, small dining rooms, limited food choices. Luxury with dents. Lack of communication and coordination between staff.

10/10 Excellent

Neena

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
