Diamond Hotel

Simple hotel, with acceptable comfort and cleanliness level. The staff is somewhat uneager to please and can be a bit grumpy and slow at times. The location is not bad, it take sabout 5 momns by auto roickshaw to the city centre form where one has to walk anyways. The rooms are simple and the cleanliess is ok but given the fact thet the whole area is quirte polluted, dry and dusty at this time of year, it is fdefintiely acceptable. The towels just ok clean, clean and can feel like sandpaper. Try to avoid a room facing the main roiad as it is very noisy basically 24/7. There is a fan and an AC on the room, however, the AC has only 2 settings, on or off. As it was quite chilly (Dec/Jan 2018) we asked the hotel to provide heating equipment and were provided with small hand-held electric heaters, which actually did a good job in making and keeping the room warm. If you travel in winter to Varanasi, make sur to bring a light jacket with you as the nights can be quite chily. The food in the restaurnat was ok, nothing special. Right next to the hotel is a Spencers supermarket where you can stack up on food, fruit and snacks. The hotel provides a rate card in each room on how much they will charge if you book a cab and/or trip through them .

Staff can be friendlier, Service in the restaurna can be better.
