Nice, simple hotel
quiet, clean, fiendly staff
6.3
We had a nice stay, it's a nice hotel with large beds.
The staff is very friendly and the tourist bureau is very good.
We booked a 1 day tour en saw very much nice temples and of course all the rituals at the Ghatts.
We had a very good guide who explained everything.
The hotel has no elevator, but has only 3 levels.
The hotel is a bit far from the Ghatts, but in about 15 minutes you get there by MotorTuktuk.

Very nice and clean hotel
Clean, Wifi, friendly service

I choose this hotel from its location near the train station, even far from the river but situated near the quiet park and easy to travel. The room is very clean, large bed and area with balcony, toilet is very clean and large. Wifi has a satisfied speed. The price is rather higher from those besided the river but now considering easier to reach, clean with big room, nice staffs. (Some besided the river had problem with monkeys "on the rooftop view" and some ghats are cremation sites). I had to catch the 2 AM train, the staff kindly contact the rickshaw driver who reach on time.

Comfortable for one night
The room was clean, and not too far from the main city. Big enough for a small family

The friendly staff, the location, the facilties
8.3
Hotel Buddha caters mainly for Indian clientele, but, as Europeans, we had an excellent stay there too. To Western standards the hotel may seem basic but the staff could not have been more helpful or friendly. We had a pefectly adequate twin-bed room with a little balcony even. It was quiet, the air-conditioning worked and although a shower curtain would have kept the bathroom floor dry after a shower, we were very comfortable. There was only flourescent lighting on the ceiling whereas bedside lamps would have made the room seem cosier, but everything worked and was clean.
The hotel is perfectly situated in a quiet square, not far from the town centre and is a 30 minute walk to the main ghat. You can take a rickshaw but we enjoyed the walk as you can stop, browse in the shops, eat ice cream or drink freshly squeezed orange juice along the way.
The breakfast was simple but you could ask to have your eggs cooked anyway you liked, and there was a choice of Indian food too. We ate in the hotel restaurant for dinner once where the food was good but basic. There's a great restaurant around the corner called Sri Annapurna which has excellent food and is quite cheap. It was full of locals - always a good sign. We liked it so much we ate there twice.
One of the days we booked a trip with Gopal, the tour guide, and at 2700 IR for the day including a car and driver, it was well worth. He showed us around the main Hindu and Buddhist sites, and his obvious love of the city was infectious. At sunset he arranged for us to go on a boat trip up the Ganges to see the cremations and then back for Arti, Hindu evening prayers, which was a spiritual and magical experience, and I'm an atheist!
Altogether, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It homely, basic but comfortable, and the staff cannot be faulted. Excellent value, quiet location, very friendly. There's even free wifi in the rooms. What more do you want?

Nice hotel, good location
8.7
Very friendly staff . Very decent hotel for the price. Far from the din and the dung of Varanasi, but a doable walk or short rickshaw to the action at the river. Simple but tasty Indian breakfast with fresh bananas. Safety deposit box at reception. Decent wi-fi speed.

I stayed here for 3 nights and I liked this place. The hotel itself is a bit outdated, but well kept and very clean! They provided fresh towels and bed sheets every day! The outstanding thing on the positive side is the staff and management: very friendly, helpful and nice.

Not located near the river and sometimes the electric power goes off, anyway for that price was good enough.
Staff was ok, clean room.
Restaurant is not that good.
