Hotel Dolphin Grand in Varanasi is a fantastic value. Very conveniently located and comfortable hotel for the price. Sure, there might be nicer places in town and ones closer to the Ghats, but they cost a lot more and will be much noisier. Dolphin is close enough to walk to the Ganges, and located on a main street where it is easy to find a Tuk Tuk if you need a ride to the farther parts of town.
The room is comfortable enough for two people. The shower did get a little water on the floor, but not a big deal. The staff was very kind and helpful, especially Lakshmi at the front desk. Breakfast in the lobby was tasty.

a very affordable oasis in varanasi
this hotel must have been renovated not so long ago. it was out-of-india quality of cleanliness with one the friendliest and the most helpful staffs we’ve met during our trip in india. it was the first time in our trip that we enjoyed clean water shower that reverted our hair back to normal conditions after the shower. we had an amazing stay here.

Sehr gutes, sauberes Hotel mit hervorragender Kundenorientierung. Die Gaths am Ganges sind innerhalb von 10 Minuten zu Fuss erreichbar. Die Mitarbeiter der Rezeption, insbesondere Herr Pryanshu sind aussergewöhnlich kompetent und hilfsbereit.

Either newly built or renovated. The place was clean and nicely appointed. Close enough to the ghats so that you can walk to it in 15 min.

Très bon rapport qualité/prix
L’hôtel est bien situé.
Pour seulement 136e pour 2 nuits en demi-pension ça vaut le coup.
La chambre était propre, avec tout le confort nécessaire.
Le petit-déjeuner était très bon et nous pouvions choisir ce que nous souhaitions à la carte.
Le soir c’était pareil, nous pouvions prendre ce que nous voulions pour dîner et le personnel du restaurant était très bien. C’est un restaurant uniquement végétarien mais franchement les saveurs changent et c’est bon.
Nous avions payés avant d’arriver pour éviter tout désagrément qu’on a pu lire dans certains commentaires.
Le manager a juste essayé, à notre arrivée, de nous dire que le petit-déjeuner n’était pas compris mais lorsque nous lui avons montrer notre voucher avec demi-pension il a dit ok et n’a pas insisté.

Enjoyed my stay at the Grand Dolphin. The service was warm and attentive, the hotel clean and the food quite good. As a foreign traveller, I found the area a little tricky to navigate but there were always rickshaws nearby to help me get around.

The hotel is close to Ganges River, but is was outdated, dirty and very expensive for what we payed for.

The room was pretty clean, but upon looking more closely at one of the provided bottled waters, the seal had been broken and it was filled to a different level than the other bottle with an unbroken seal.

What a fabulous find in the midst of such an amazing and vibrant city.
A real oasis when a bit of peace and quiet was required.
A great welcome by the whole excellent staff , including the ever helpful Krishna with his huge smile.
The room was extremely well maintained, clean and comfortable.
The food and service in the restaurant was as of a very good standard.
The hotel is well located for walking and short rickshaw rides to all the main sights.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would certainly recommend it highly to anyone visiting Varanasi.

Location is good if you want to walk down to the ghats.
Restaurant is good, but vegetarian only.
Room is a decent size and it all worked well but a thermostatic shower mixer would have been nice.
WiFi is good.
Having learned more about that area of town, I'd definitely stay there again.

Good, but not necessarily for westerners
Be warned: NOT ALL ROOMS HAVE WINDOWS.
I booked an executive twin room and we were given a windowless triple. Third bed was a rollaway bed positioned against the wall by the (not) window. Immediately returned to the front desk to ask to switch rooms. After much back and forth, we were told nothing else was available until the next day. I could tell the staff member felt or perceived me as an entitled westerner and displayed a poor attitude, though he did offer to have staff arrange to hand carry our luggage to the new room assignment while we were out touring. He kept his word and the new room, directly above, indeed had a window and was a true double accommodation. We respectfully apologized to each other for any malcontent.
(Both) Rooms were extremely clean, though I am not a fan of the wet room-type bathroom. Hotel needs more universal power outlets.
Location is close to the Ganga and ceremonies, but extremely busy and noisy. Good for walking tours. (Noted: We happened to visit during the wedding anniversary of Krishna, so doubly noisy and probably not normal.)
Breakfast buffet was adequate. They cater more to Indian diets, so be prepared and try something new. No soya or plant-milk alternatives provided (typical of all the hotels we frequented in India).
Laundry service was done same day, turned in at breakfast time. Friends, we gave them a separate bag each, but it was returned combined all into one, which completely defeated our purposes for billing.
