Modern and clean and although 5 minutes away from the river we didn’t feel as if we missed out as we were up and on the river for sunrise and on the Banks amongst all the celebrations in the evening. Breakfast and food was good and the staff very helpful. Definitely a good spot to step away from the hustle and bustle and recover from long days.

10/10 Exceptional

Really great hotel that’s very close to the ghats. Strong AC, comfortable bed, well maintained rooms and a small refrigerator for keeping water cold. It was surprisingly quiet inside for such a busy location. Breakfast was also very tasty and plentiful. If you’re looking for a good hotel close to the ghats at 3-4 star level that doesn’t cost the earth, this is it!

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.

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.

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.

Very good hosptality. Proximity to many tourist places-river, ghats, temples. Food is excellent in the restaurant. Really nice hotel placed perfectly for many activities. Thank you to the staff. We will visit again.
