Baba Vishwanath Residency

The hotel is very near to the Ganga River which is a major plus point

The room size is a bit small.

The price to value ratio is very good. Prime location if you're all about Varanasi ghats and the old town. I had the top floor deluxe room, with a great view on the bustling streets below, yet high enough above to not be bothered bye the noise as much as one would imagine. Earplugs are recommended though, apart from 2AM-4AM when it's relatively quiet outside. I really liked the lighting options, which gave the room a nuanced vibe. The bathroom was spacious enough and I never had troubles having hot water in the shower, which in India is not as obvious as it may seem, in this price range category. There was an amenity kit, which I appreciate. The room was clean and so were the duvet covers, more or less. AC was good.

I wish the lobby was actually 24/7, as I needed to leave at 3AM (for darshan at the Golden Temple), and I had to be waking the staff, and shortly after that, when I needed to return to my room, the staff was asleep again and I was hardly able to wake them up, me being locked outside. There was little control over the fan. A bit too many noises are heard from adjacent rooms.

Location is great

Room was at 4th floor without elevator

The staff were extremely courteous. 5 minutes walk from Dashashwamedh Ghat

Room was too small
