In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book

  • Good on-site food — Tasty Indian breakfast and local dishes, with a rooftop dining area for meals with a view.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Lift may be out of service — One guest reported the elevator was not working, meaning stairs were required – a real consideration if you have mobility issues or heavy luggage.
  • Basic rooms — Rooms are clean but simple, without extra frills – expectations should be set accordingly.
  • Modest overall rating — With a 6.0 rating from 336 reviews, this is a functional choice rather than a luxury stay.
  • Hot water on request — Hot water may need to be requested rather than being always available – a detail to plan around.

“The staff were welcoming and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. Rooms were basic but clean, with hot water on request. The location was perfect for exploring – the Vishwanath temple and ghats were close by. Breakfast was delicious, and the rooftop dining area was a bonus. The only downside was the elevator being out of service, which made climbing stairs inconvenient.”
