Varanasi Hotel Guide - Kaal Bhairava Mandir hotels in Varanasi, India.

"This is budget hotel. I mean very basic. Room not much bigger than bed but bed was very comfortable. Floor was clean. Has airconditioning but took me two weeks to figure how to use it! Large ceiling fan was great. Backs up to alley and construction noise was there but they stopped at sunset. Had elevator but only fit one person! Location was hard to find. Had to walk quite a distance uphill from where taxi dropped off because the road is so congested with scooters and pedestrians that cars were not allowed. Ask or look for "Lakshmi Chai Wala". Locals know that and that is the entrance of the alley off the street since the hotel is on an alley and not the main street. Was able to use Google Maps to find first time. Then took pictures of the entrance and adjacent shops so was easy to find again. Location is perfect for walking to cremation grounds and Golden Shiva temple. About 20-30 minute walk to evening aarti on the Ganga (very famous). Hotel staff very friendly but usually only one spoke English. Translator app really helped. They provided bottled water every day. There was hot water in the bathroom for showing but only a quick one since tank is small. Overall, for the location, cleanliness and friendliness I would recommend and stay there again myself. Felt very safe for lone, older female traveler."

"A delightful bit of luxury as a relief after a two-week tour using a range of fairly budget-style hotels! The staff were all very well trained and helpful, the room was great and the food we had while there was very good. Only slight disappointment was the pool area was definitely set up for exercise rather than relaxation - no comfortable spot to enjoy a drink or light meal outside there or anywhere around the extensive grounds."

"Great location out of the busyness of Varanasi, especially during Diwali. All the staff were very helpful and friendly, advising us of the sites to visit. "

" Best Location in Varanasi Beautiful palace full of history, with easy access to explore and be fully immersed in life and local cultural activities. Great Spa services In particular we would like to give a special mention to Ashutosh on front desk,Fahad in the restaurant who made an extra effort to converse with us in Spanish and his colleagues Sandeep & Sourav. Plus the skilled hands of the Spa team who soothed our aching backs and tired feet."

"Overall place was good!"

"My review for Hotel Aastha Inn is excellent because I really liked this small cute hotel. The staffs keep it clean and their behaviour is very friendly and always respectful. Location is a bit inside the street but its only a 50-meter inside which is fine anyways. I got a nice clean room with an attached bathroom. Mr Padam who runs the hotel arranged my airport pick up akd drop off. He also offered me his car for local tours of Varanasi. Kashi Vishwanath Shiva Temple and Manikernika Ghaat are at walking distance. Perfect to go for Ganga Aarti. Overall a very positive experience staying at this hotel. "

"This property is right next to Gate 4 of the temple"

"Very good restaurant and clean"

"The location is great. I visited during Mahakumbh period, lot people around the Vishwanath temple, causing road closures and crowd. Otherwise it could have been a great experience "
