As a lot of people have suggested, the entry and foyer of the Hotel are quite impressive and the rooms are a bit of a let down, but it is what it is, a 3 Star Hotel charging 3 Star prices. We experienced much worse in other areas throughout India. Beds were a bit hard (for my wife) and there... More

I stayed 2 days in Hotel Meraden Grand with my family. It was a wonderful stay with delicious foods and good room facilities. There was a bit of a problem with hot water facility but other than that it was a pleasant stay with a comfortable room. Lobby area was beautifully arranged and the staff members were so friendly.

We stayed here for 2 nights and our fist impressions when seeing the lobby were amazing. However, the room were only ok as the bathrooms were a bit tired. Mine shot water out of the handle every time I flushed the loo causing a bit of a flood! The food was very good and you could see it being prepared... More

A good location and hotel is in good standard.Food is tasty and has different choices. But do not change foreign currency in this place. The rates are very low and add service charge also. The guy at the reception tries to keep money for him too. The restaurant staff is not that friendly to customers.

We reached here late night, after our holy dip at the Maha Kumbh, first of all we asked them to give us the higher category of rooms, there was a marginal difference, so we opted for the better room, on reaching our room, we saw it was really small, n cramped, and were wondering if this was the higher room...

You can tell the hotel is old by the size of the fish in the aquarium. Huge Reception was very good, the greeter very accommodating. A/C in the room was antiquitated.

The good - The hotel was neat and clean and located near Varanasi Cantt. Free breakfast and it was good. The bad - No hot water (it was very lukewarm) - got an excuse that the heater was bad - if it was bad, it would be cold not lukewarm. No flat screen TV. Small beds. Looking at the other... More

We have just stayed at the hotel for 3 days/2nights. The lobby is very inviting but the room smelt musty possibly due to the fact no windows could be opened. We had no hot water for the duration although we mentioned it to the reception staff on 3 occasions. Perhaps it is because it is India!! However the restaurant staff... More

The stay was with family in the worst possible weather in this part of the country - in mid June ! However, the hotel provided the much needed relief from the elements while we were in-house. It is located near to the station in the cantonment area but far away from where the Ganges and the sights...however, there are auto... More
