10/10

Very comfy room and terrific location in Varanasi. Just close enough—5 minutes walk—to the ghats to be totally convenient, but just enough outside the main part of the old city to feel like a bit of a haven. Room in good shape, solid restaurant. Only complaint is that the staff is a bit too hover-y and solicitous in the restaurant, but that’s a small thing.

Close to ghats in a busy area. The bathroom had mold, but the shower and bed were OK. Not noisy. Got tired of eating at the buffet, although we liked the food for the most part and the service was good.

Staff lovely and very convenient to walking to The Ganges. Breakfast very limited…they ran out of coffee constantly, and when served it wasn’t good, and if busy cups and plates. Indian breakfast way better than European (sliced bread and packaged jam). Found a lot of noise in the corridor outside my room when I stayed- but that was fault of guests not hotel. Lovely to wake and watch monkeys playing on the buildings opposite. Would stay again…but not pay for breakfast…

Hotel Dolphin Grand in Varanasi is a fantastic value. Very conveniently located and comfortable hotel for the price. Sure, there might be nicer places in town and ones closer to the Ghats, but they cost a lot more and will be much noisier. Dolphin is close enough to walk to the Ganges, and located on a main street where it is easy to find a Tuk Tuk if you need a ride to the farther parts of town. The room is comfortable enough for two people. The shower did get a little water on the floor, but not a big deal. The staff was very kind and helpful, especially Lakshmi at the front desk. Breakfast in the lobby was tasty.

Either newly built or renovated. The place was clean and nicely appointed. Close enough to the ghats so that you can walk to it in 15 min.

L’hôtel est bien situé. Pour seulement 136e pour 2 nuits en demi-pension ça vaut le coup. La chambre était propre, avec tout le confort nécessaire. Le petit-déjeuner était très bon et nous pouvions choisir ce que nous souhaitions à la carte. Le soir c’était pareil, nous pouvions prendre ce que nous voulions pour dîner et le personnel du restaurant était très bien. C’est un restaurant uniquement végétarien mais franchement les saveurs changent et c’est bon. Nous avions payés avant d’arriver pour éviter tout désagrément qu’on a pu lire dans certains commentaires. Le manager a juste essayé, à notre arrivée, de nous dire que le petit-déjeuner n’était pas compris mais lorsque nous lui avons montrer notre voucher avec demi-pension il a dit ok et n’a pas insisté.

Enjoyed my stay at the Grand Dolphin. The service was warm and attentive, the hotel clean and the food quite good. As a foreign traveller, I found the area a little tricky to navigate but there were always rickshaws nearby to help me get around.
