Top Varanasi Hotel Reviews

Trilok Residency

Trilok Residency

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is boutique styled. Submerged (not literally) in lanes and alleyways. Close to all activities. Staff are friendly and helpful. It is walkable to the Dash Ghat so a great plus. But due its unique location you have to use a lot map reading skills to good use in order to locate it. The room itself is clean, confortable and lush. A little let down story is by the powerless shower. The bucket and scoop method is in fact better suited. Adi the host is a most personable bloke on this earth. Very obliging and constantly worrying not doing enough for his guests. He is always ready to order takeaway for you at short notice."
