"This hotel is OK if you dont want hot running water on demand in the evenings. If you do, you need to ask the staff to switch on the immersion heater 30 minutes before you want your shower!
On our last morning, there was also no hot running water. Instead, we were presented with a bucket of hot water.
There is AC in the room but this is used to cool the room only and not heat the room. As we were there in winter time, we were very cold!
We booked a premium room which was so small! We asked to...

"Nilay House in Varanasi is a home away from home, a place where you can feel safe, enjoy the interior, the lovely breakfast at Sparrow Café, comfortable beds and wonderful care and friendly service from the staff. I highly recommend staying here as it is also walking distance from Assi ghat."

"Hotel is quite basic for the rates charged. It requires updating and more 3 pin plug sockets. The location is perfect for prayers etc as it's by the river. The restaurant serves extremely nice veg food at a reasonable price."

"This is a new hotel that has just opened and still work in process. One day the hot water was not there and the next day no cold water. The T.V requires an engineering degree to operate. They charged me for breakfast although I showed the reservation which included breakfast. The employees were friendly and wanted to help
If you have other choices wait until they get their act together."

I am often in Varanasi for work, and always stay at te Diamond. It is near both to the center city and riverfront and to the university and yet quickly accessible to the route to the airport and train station. The staff are helpful, from arranging cars for longer road trips to providing all the necessities of a hotel stay. The rooms are quite large, and the bathrooms have recently been remodeled, a further plus. The restaurant is good.

Close to a shopping area. Good food. Clean rooms and friendly staff. I was there for business, but I hear its good for tourists.
Tip for travel around town: Avoid buying the taxi at the hotel. You can save 1/2 the cost by negotiating the rate with drivers sitting outside the hotel gate. They are waiting to get into the hotel anyway and you cut out the middle man.

From my wife who stayed there: I'm missing this hotel and its lovely staff and the kindness with which they took care of my family and I during our stay there from July 25 th through August 2nd. I feel I have a home here. The family rooms are spacious but they don't have any sunlight and the bathroom hooks are very high for average height people like me. WiFi worked better at 207. At 407 it was not so great at times. The safe didn't work at 207. Other than these I have to say it was a...
