The hotel is in perfect location for the ghats and major attractions in Varanasi. Loads of shops and good restaurants within walking distance. Facilities are clean and well maintained, room clean and comfortable and a fair size. Staff pleasant and provides and attentive service. Airport transfers are competitively priced. The only draw back for us was breakfast which did not provide a lot of choice for western palates.

Meals felt freshly prepared, excellent service from the gentlemen cleaning the rooms, serving in the dining area, check in staff. Mr Aman Gupta the guide for the Ganga Arti. Mr Prakash who checked us out. Mr Rajesh the concierge, he arranged the tour perfectly. The gentlemen who worked as security and made sure they opened the doors and called a rickshaw every single time. Thank you for a most pleasant stay.

Great option in Varanasi
Very comfy room and terrific location in Varanasi. Just close enough—5 minutes walk—to the ghats to be totally convenient, but just enough outside the main part of the old city to feel like a bit of a haven. Room in good shape, solid restaurant. Only complaint is that the staff is a bit too hover-y and solicitous in the restaurant, but that’s a small thing.

This hotel is lovely and even though on main road it is quiet inside with a really good quality of rooms. Each room is air conditioned and has really good facilities. The team are brilliant helping with questions about where to go shopping negotiating Rikshaw prices. The food is hot and whilst you have to remember at breakfast food comes first and then your hot drink there is nothing to complain about and the prices are reasonable. A really lovely hotel to stay in.

Enjoyed my stay at the Grand Dolphin. The service was warm and attentive, the hotel clean and the food quite good. As a foreign traveller, I found the area a little tricky to navigate but there were always rickshaws nearby to help me get around.
