Independent, Varanasi hotels

"Impeccable Service"

"Very good location (near to temple and other famous things) , spacious and clean rooms, food is good and there are lots of other local food options near by. Staff is also good and supportive. "

"Very good property "

"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…"

"Great location, service and property "

"CLEAN , COMFORTABLE HOTEL IN A CROWDED AREA VERY CLOSE TO THE GANGA AARTI AND KASHI VISHWANATH TEMPLE. EXCELLENT BREAKFAST AND LUNCH AND DINNER. STAFF ARE VERY HELPFUL . HOTEL CAN ARRANGE GOOD TAXI CABS FOR VISITS TO SARNATH, PRAGYARAJ, AYODHYA ETC. WE STAYED IN 3 PERSON SUITE WHICH WAS VERY COMFORTABLE"

"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."
