I recently had the opportunity to stay at Hotel Buddha, Varanasi, and I'd like to share my thoughts on the experience. Overall, the hotel's location proved to be quite advantageous, providing easy access to various attractions. The rooms were comfortable and satisfactory. However, there were a few aspects that warrant attention.
The hotel's location deserves commendation, as it offered convenient proximity to various spots of interest. This made exploring the city a breeze, allowing us to make the most of our time. The rooms were decent and provided a comfortable stay. Cleanliness and basic amenities were well taken care of.
On a positive note, the hotel managed transportation to and from the airport seamlessly. This aspect of our experience was well-handled, relieving any stress related to our arrival and departure.
Yet, I must address the issue I encountered with the staff. At times, communication was a challenge, making it difficult to convey our concerns effectively. This hindered our experience, as it's important for the staff to understand and address guests' needs promptly and accurately. While the staff members were courteous, there seems to be room for improvement in training them to effectively interact and assist customers. It's not an isolated incident, as I observed similar issues with fellow guests during my stay.

The room is spacious but the bathrooms are very bad, having drainage odour, no soaps only hanging liquid soap and shampoo looks like before independence, zero maintenance, smart door lock is unsmart due to battery, wash basin water not flowing, water tabs look like not used more than a decades. This room is not worth ₹7650+GST 18%. Huge lack of maintenance. I will never go with booking.com
AC is malfunctioning, showing 16 but feels like 26, huge power cut, most 3rd class experience. Probably very few bookings are made in a year, zero maintenance. But they're charging a lot. I will never go with Booking.com

Its Cleaniness
The first day of our stay was very bad because of the party that the hotel had arranged in their premises. They kept us awake almost the whole night because they were very noisy in dismantling the things. They had no regard to the guests staying in the hotel

Approach to hotel was horribly unhygienic

The staff members were really polite and helpful with a calm attitude. Everyone in this hotel was ready to guide you in creating your best trip. The food was exactly like home cooking made as per your choice and taste. Must try Vijay ji Chicken curry. They even helped us in getting the best Banarasi Sarees at a steal price from shops where it's actually crafted.
The location is a bit inside and not exactly on the main road. But exceptional service overpowers this as well.

Room amenities were as promised. Room had all the regular amenities such as mini refrigerator, split AC, flat TV, electric kettle etc. Attached bathroom had running hot and cold water, western commode (toilet), toiletries, clean towels, etc Housekeeping service was provided daily. There was intercom facility in the room, desk and a chair.
Rooms were very small, hardly any place for two people to move in the room. The balcony was a misnomer. There was no satellite or cable TV. There was no sofa or seating area in the room. The room had no view. The room service menu was minimal, with whatever was listed not being available for most of our stay.

For me the most important thing about a hotel in a place like Varanasi is quiteness. Hotel Buddha was clean, with hot water (taking into account it was winter) and quite. Some people might thing is a little bit far from old city or Assi Ghat, but personally I prefered so, and if you are going to take a taxi or a tuk tuk anyway, it's not a problem.
Maybe the bathroom was a little bit old

Cleaniness of Hotel, good behaviors of hotel stuff and active , food quality, response of tourist's queries and support systems.
Room rent tariff is in higher side compare to hotel Buddha's location, other facilities understanding competitive offerings from other hotels.maintenance of hotel could have been better against charges of hotel.

Nothing negative experienced here.
3.5
Reasonably good accomodation for visiting the Kashi Viswanath temple due to its proximity. The surroundings were very clean and neat. The travel desk Rajesh was helpful in arranging sightseeing trips and darshan. Room was clean and staff was pleasant. Breakfast was good and supplied fresh eventhough there was not too much varieties.
The dining options were not so good as on the first day of our stay we were asked to take the dinner outside eventhough the time was only 9.30 pm.
3.5
There is no break fast available in this hotel neither kitchen facility for Dinning rather hotel staff have suggested for near by hotels for having fooding
Break fast should be available, rather the property is at such a wonderful location if they arrange running kitchen with good food quality then there will not be any comparison of this hotel with nearby budget hotels
