Safari Tentalow in Sant Ravidas Nagar District

"5 star"

"It's the first time that I've stayed at a 4 star hotel by choice in India. I generally just enjoy 5 star hospitality in India but didn't have much available in Varanasi and Ayodhya (will review that too). Arpita at the front desk is great! She's very professional and very pleasant and I saw her handling all kinds of queries and customers like a pro. Keshavnath (hope I got the name right) in the housekeeping was excellent. The room and bath were super clean. The room was quite spacious and I liked the separate seating and sleeping areas. Though I didn't eat at the hotel, the dining always called to ask about breakfast & dinner as that was included in my booking and I appreciated their due diligence. The so called travel desk was a joke though! Completely useless in answering basic info. Will certainly consider this place again for a stay if visiting India/Varanasi again. "

"Very comfortable stay."

"Great staff- friendly, helpful in every way; room was clean, though small. Hotel is tucked away a little distance from the ghats, so be prepared for a bit of a ride to get there; but it is also away from the crowds and noise of the main part of the city, which is a plus"

"courteous and helping staff. complimentary B/F and late check out is very much appreciated. Shops and Eateries are nearby. overall, good stay."

"Staff and Food stood out. Room quality needs more work. "

"Pleasant stay at Clarks. Location is excellent easy reach to temples. Property is cleaned and maintained. Good breakfast menu. Staff were friendly. Will surely come back"

"very nice hotel close to shops and River Ganges "

"There was not a spa in the hotel. But the room was clean (I changed rooms) and when I moved to 4th floor this has been recently refurbished it was much better. Siddharth and Rudra have owned the hotel for just over 3 years and want to ensure every guest has a good stay. They deserve business, and encouragement. Some aspects still need updating and WiFi is under improvement (and some staff need better English or a translation device) but they have all the ambition and it would be nice to visit again in a couple of years to see what they have done to the hotel. It’s an affordable comfortable place to stay and the staff will ensure you are well looked after and can arrange cars and autos all at reasonable prices. It’s about 2km from the ghats and old city. I felt staying a little outside the main area was much better in this city as it’s densely overcrowded in the centre and complex to navigate. Here you can travel easily to and from airport (which the hotel can organise at a reasonable cost) a lot of other areas have the central zones shut making it impossible to get through with luggage. A very important consideration in choice of accommodation when visiting Varanasi. Everything you want to see from hotel is about a 150 rupee auto ride away, and the hotel always booked to the price I wanted to pay, ensuring you are not scammed. The hotel is great choice for first time visitors to Varanasi."
