Things that do not work
For $150 a night: the light bulbs should work, the tv should work, the iron should work, the doorknob should work.

Great Hotel!
Having stayed at Rivatas earlier as well this was a no brainer for our one day trip. The hotel is clean, comfortable and very economical for the comforts. Free wifi and good food. Pretty consistent in its service. The area is central and not too far from the ghats. The bathrooms are huge. Would definitely recommend to the weary traveller for some R&R. Will always stay at Rivatas when in Benaras.

It can be facilitated better by providing tooth paste, tooth brush, Extra toilet rolls, check if curtains work, lack of privacy between shower and bed room, not sure if the heater was not in a working order (cannot set temperatures). Food is good Restaurant people were friendly and their service good There is room for improvement in the Customer service side

Hotel was very nice, very clean. Room service dinners were delicious (esp the tandoori lamb!). The only complaint I had was that the bathroom is not well designed. The sliding screen doors make it impossible to use the toilet in privacy and you can’t turn the lights on in the night without waking people up. The shower door makes it hard to not spread water all over the floor like a squeegee and there isn’t a place for the floor mat so it was hard to keep the floor dry. Otherwise very comfortable and pleasant stay.

Great hotel. Some of the best beds around!
What a great hotel! The bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept on. The pillows were a great size and the comforter held the proper temperature for a great night sleep. I would highly recommend Rivatas hotel!
