The F&B team was outstanding. We ate so much because they would bring out off menu dishes to try and they all were outstanding. The staff truly wanted us to enjoy the food. My kids love Indian food and the staff fed them happily. The best of Varanasi hospitality. The rooms are massive. Property is small but that’s to be expected when located on the ghats I suppose. The only tip is not using the gully in the back to go to Kashi Vishwanath - it was disgusting. Take the hotel boat if you don’t mind...
Staff at Grand Dolphin were very helpful and courteous, starting from the front desk management to the dining staff. Laksmi from the reservation team made my car bookings to Ayodhya, Boat Tour for Ganga Aarati and Airport pick up. Prices were reasonable and she was very responsive to my requests. I would highly recommend the hotel to anyone travelling to Varanasi.
We were warmly welcomed after a long day of flying and driving. Neeraj the manager was able to help us with any needs we had. He went above and beyond with making us comfortable, ordering food, taxis, morning boat ride and anything else we needed. The food was delicious in the restaurant and clean. The service was was good and my friend and I really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is beautiful and has a lot of character. the view from the top of the hotel is beautiful and looks out to the ganges,...
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.
