Excellent stay in Varanasi. Nice large property - oasis in the chaos of the streets of Varanasi. Property undergoing some construction updates. Main restaurant was moved to what might have been conference rooms - less than a nice eating venue. I'm sure it will all be wonderful after construction is complete.
