For me, the best thing about the hotel was the location: walking distance from the Dashashwamedh Ghat. Just as important as being close, the street that leads to the Ghat is more walking friendly than the usual Varanasi streets. That being said, the surroundings of the hotel are very noisy. I'm not used to it, so I had to wear earplugs to sleep. The hotel is simple, feels more like a hostel, the staff was friendly, and the room was good enough, but nothing special. Last remark: location-wise, the hotel was also good because it was near Cafe 1916, the restaurant that became my go-to place in Varanasi, for breakfast, lunch and often dinner (food food, not too spicy, food price; it was suggested to me by a GuruWalk guide).
