"Nice small hotel close to the temple and ghat of Manikarnika. Kashi Vishwanath temple is only approx 2 km from this hotel which means you can go by walk. Hotel has clean rooms and staff behaviour is very kind. Owners like Padam Chaudhary having international experience really make a difference into the field of hospitality. I highly suggest this property and the location. "

"Only one dirty towel was supplied. We had to ask for another one (which was also old). Stains on the sheet. The floor was dirty. The shower didn't work. Water was gushing out of the tap controller, and no water could get up to the shower head. We were the only customers in the restaurant, and the food was not good. Reception staff kept hanging around even after we gave a tip. In the end we had to close the door on them"
