In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Walkable to the railway station and the Ganges — Guests repeatedly note the hotel is a short walk from the railway station, the market, and the banks of the Ganges, making it easy to explore on foot or catch a train.
  • Helpful staff — Reviews consistently mention friendly, accommodating staff who offered local tips and went out of their way to help.
  • Clean and comfortable AC rooms — Guests highlight tidy rooms with air conditioning and basic amenities like tea/coffee facilities, kettles, and private bathrooms.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Occasional train noise — Being next to the railway station means you may hear trains passing, especially in rooms facing that side.
  • Moderate overall rating — The hotel's guest rating of 6.4 is below the area average of 7.3, and service and value scores sit in the mid-6s — expect a decent but not standout stay.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place — the policy is firm.
