"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.

"The hotel itself was fine. The hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly. However, as soon as you leave the gates, there are predatory rickshaw drivers who are allowed to park waiting on guests. The hotel should not allow this."
