Hotel Alka

The hotel was clean and comfortable. The room was nice, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I had a good stay and would recommend this hotel.

We had a very pleasant stay at Hotel Alka. The biggest highlight was the exceptional service. The staff went above and beyond to help us from the moment we arrived. Since cars cannot reach the hotel directly, hotel staff personally met us, helped us reach the property, and later assisted us again when we were leaving by guiding us to the nearest point where we could safely get a taxi. This level of care was greatly appreciated. We were also pleasantly surprised to receive a complimentary room upgrade, which made our stay even more comfortable. Having an elevator was another advantage, especially after long day of exploring Varanasi. The location is convenient for visiting the ghats and experiencing the atmosphere of the city! The main area that could be improved is cleanliness. Our bed linens and towels did not feel as fresh as expected. Improving housekeeping standards would significantly enhance the overall guest experience. Overall, we are grateful for the kindness and professionalism of the staff, who made our stay enjoyable despite the cleanliness issues! We would come back!

My wife and I were visiting Varanasi for a few days and looking for a vegetarian restaurant - we were suggested Hotel Alka by our guide. We were served by ‘Jidu’ who was professional and helpful from the very beginning, he spoke very well in English which naturally was a bonus - especially as we wanted to avoid meals with nuts in. Food was delicious - we had 2 plain daals, 1 cheese pulao, 1 cucumber salad, 2 lassies and 2 chai’s to finish. This all came to only 920 rupees (around £7.70). We were also able to get a table with a view of the River Gange. Jidu went above and beyond - especially on our 2nd occasion here, as I wasn’t feeling too well and he was there to provide assistance where we needed, without asking of him. Definitely recommended to visit 🙏🏼

Property location is very good, but rooms are very compact & bathroom is disgusting. Please check before booking this hotel. very difficult to enter inside the toilet & bathrooms.

It was a wonderful stay with scenic views from the balcony. The rooms were comfortable. The staff was very courteous. overall it was a wonderful experience.

Hi. My experience in staying in this hotel was terrible. The staff members were not at all cooperative. There was not coveyance facility on the way to hotel.
