We went with INTREPID tour, and after nearly a fortnight of appalling accommodations we thought that the Hotel Pradeep would be better. We were there on the 30 September and 1 October. The hotel looked good. At first the A/C worked. Then there was a power cut. The (temperature in our room soared to about 33 degrees. We looked for... more

Not sure what else is available in Varanasi but Hotel Pradeep gave us reasonable accommodation - especially after we asked to move from the room at the noisy front of the hotel. The roof top restaurant was a real haven of calm in this busy, dirty city. The service however wasn't brilliant. The downstairs' restaurant would benefit from new furnishings,... more

Surly, unhelpful manager, expensive rooms for the quality and very noisy. Threadbare sheets and grey towels although room fittings were OK. Restaurant looked dirty and our 3 daughters found a dead cockroach in their bathroom. The... more

The 2 day stay in Varenasi was supposed to be the ending highlight of a month long trip in India. Upon arrival the hotel looked okay from the outside. The porter was very friendly and helpful and when we first entered the room is looked nice and recently renovated. After a minute however, it went dowhill rapidly! The room and... more

One of the worst places on earth to stay. Nothing works in this hotel and the service staff is rude and inefficient. more

I, in the company of our famliy spent a couple of days at this hotel. The accomoations were very poor and inappropriate. We were sent to a room in an area which is being remodel. There was dust flying all over, and the smells of varnish and a lot of noise which was done by the construction workers was annoying.... more
