“The deluxe double room attempts to provide a balcony with a sea view; however, from what I gathered, this aspect failed to impress the solo traveler during their two-night stay, who found nothing to appreciate about the property. It appears this is a property best avoided; my recommendation is to seek alternative accommodation in Varanasi.”
