Stayed here on the 4th and 5th of May 2012 with my wife. Except for the narrow road that leads to the hotel all other things are positive. Good staff, Goods rooms, people with a human touch waiting to guide / help. Ellenn More

Identified the hotel through Trip Advisor search and was not disapointed. Clean rooms and helping staff are signatures. Candid admission for those services not available e.g. no airconditioning during day time if there is a electricity failure, which is an epidemic in Varanasi. There is an intent to cater to the European tourists, however, there are scope for improvements.Breakfast buffet... More

A little bit away from the main drag but a little haven. We arrived tired and travel worn, but we were able to check in after our train journey in the early hours and take breakfast which was welcome after there had been no service available on the train. Do take the chance to ring them for a taxi if... More

As far as acommodation in the 1300-1500ruppe range in Varanasi goes, this was acceptable. The staff were excellent, the bathroom was very clean, however there was no hot water as advertised. The bed was comfortable, but the sheets and blanket could have been cleaner. The floor is unpolished marble which always has a dusty feel. The curtains and chairs are... More

The Hotel Buddha had exceptionally helpful staff and really comfortable large rooms which were spotlessly clean. The bathroom was also excellent. We managed to get a balcony - it's hard to find windows that open in Indian city hotels so a balcony was a real luxury. Yes you need to hire a rickshaw down to the ghats, but that costs... More
