Of the nine hotels that I stayed in during a recent 3-week trip through India, this was the least memorable. Nevertheless, it was reasonably clean and friendly, and did provide a quiet, relaxing refuge in what was the most chaotic, intense city I have ever visited. Varanasi as a destination turned out to be one of my favorites. At one... More

This hotel did not meet my expectation as I stayed in many gateway / Taj group hotels. Rooms are not very clean and too noisy, which disturbed our stay. Hotels staffs are very helpful. Restaurant rates are quiet expensive compared to other Gateway.Staffs in restaurant are over enthusiastic, which really disturbed our privacy.

stayed for one night with my parents and loved the hotel! I guess it is the only place in Banaras where you are at your own in a peaceful, environment. I was upgraded to a suite which was not very big, but I am not complaining since it was a very welcome gesture. Food from the room service was on... More

On our trip to India last November we could not go to Varanase so we went this time before our main holiday to Kashmir. This hotel is basically quite good with lovely gardens and a good open air swimming pool. For us however it was a really bad experience. We arrived in early afternoon from Delhi rather tired and travel-worn.... More

Stayed here for two nights for work trip. The lobby, restaurants, and rooms are neat and clean. Rooms are simple/sparse, even for the Gateway properties, and i question value for money, even given our group rate. Checkin and checkout are slow and a few of the people have difficult attitudes--- needing more training in client service and hospitality. The concierge... More

Stayed at the Taj end of March this year. It's a good, comfortable hotel. Like other travellers, we were debating whether to stay there or somewhere close to the Ganges but after our first walk around the city we were relieved we decided to stay at the Taj. Varanasi is a crazy place, super interesting but very overwhelming. It's great... More

Nice property. Though one would not rate if 5 star, it's the best you can possibly get in a place like Varanasi. Cleanliness was upto the mark. Food wasn't great. The wifi did not work properly. Overall a good place to stay. No major complaints.
