Very clean, nice facilities. Food available. But the best thing was how kind and attentive the staff were. Our favourite hotel during our month in India Location is in Sarnath which is worth a visit for sure. It's a bit quieter and we really appreciated being able to get out of the chaos and relax after a day in the city.
