Hotel Buddha

The travel desk was excellent...Deepak was very helpful...so was the guide and the drivers were very polite and took us around to all places happily. Hotel is centrally located so it was easy to commute

The food was very average. The rooms though clean were not as what was projected in the pictures.

The restaurant is above average of what you can find in Varanasi ( even including Indian Food). The hotel building has potential to be better ( the rooftop is nice at least the area that is clean and well maintained)

I had a number of issues with this Hotel and even taking in consideration that was an attempted to correct some of the problems, the Hotel doesn't match to what advertises. 1- When we arrived the hotel full charged our 5 nights stay upfront, even before we were able to check the rooms. 2- Once the payment was done they took us to the wrong ( a room that still smelled like it was freshly painted, and totally different from the pictures ). Once we talked to the hotel management about how the room was totally different from the pictures, they moved us to the "right room". 3 - Once we got to the "right Room" ( a king size bed and an individual one ) we realised how small the beds were. The King size bed was at its best a small queen size, and the individual bed's mattress was half broken( on the left side) adding on top of that the beds had no sheets to cover the guests during the night ( something that we had to ask to The room also had a window directly linked to the hotel corridor with a light that couldn't be turn off. Which means we were sleeping with direct light for all the 5 days. 4- The bathroom was not clean and there was no curtain or barrier on the shower area, which means that after a shower all the bathroom floor was wet. Another curious fact is that we had to call to the reception almost 15 minutes before each shower to get hot water. Also during our stay the flush system stop working more than 3 times, and we had to call the reception to send someone to fix it. Overall I don't recommend this hotel to anyone who is going to Varanasi.
