"Nice small hotel close to the temple and ghat of Manikarnika. Kashi Vishwanath temple is only approx 2 km from this hotel which means you can go by walk. Hotel has clean rooms and staff behaviour is very kind. Owners like Padam Chaudhary having international experience really make a difference into the field of hospitality. I highly suggest this property and the location. "
