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…

Great Varanasi Value
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.

Location is good if you want to walk down to the ghats. Restaurant is good, but vegetarian only. Room is a decent size and it all worked well but a thermostatic shower mixer would have been nice. WiFi is good. Having learned more about that area of town, I'd definitely stay there again.

Staff at Grand Dolphin were very helpful and courteous, starting from the front desk management to the dining staff. Laksmi from the reservation team made my car bookings to Ayodhya, Boat Tour for Ganga Aarati and Airport pick up. Prices were reasonable and she was very responsive to my requests. I would highly recommend the hotel to anyone travelling to Varanasi.

What a fabulous find in the midst of such an amazing and vibrant city. A real oasis when a bit of peace and quiet was required. A great welcome by the whole excellent staff , including the ever helpful Krishna with his huge smile. The room was extremely well maintained, clean and comfortable. The food and service in the restaurant was as of a very good standard. The hotel is well located for walking and short rickshaw rides to all the main sights. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would certainly recommend it highly to anyone visiting Varanasi.

Perfect location for Banaras getaway
We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The rooms were super nice with comfy beds and good ameneties. The staff was very friendly and attentive to the needs of our family. This at an excellent location not too far from the popular ghats. The breakfast and lunch buffets at the restaurant were excellent in terms of variety and quality. Garima and the rest of front desk staff were very helpful in sorting out our reservation issues with hotels.com and planning our visits around the city
