I booked my flight in the hope of dicovering the history and beauty to India. I arrive at Delhi airport around 12:00pm. Once I collected my bag I went out in search of a cab, once a driver found me... approached me. I showed him the hotel address. He claimed to know the hotel, however on route to the hotel all surrounding roads where closed by Police Barrieres with no police in sight. Long story short I ended up on a trip I didn’t want to go on designed by the tourist centre just to get a hotel for the night and the first train out of Delhi, in all honesty felt like I was paying my own ransom fee... Anyone else who has fallen for this scam will thankfully will cross paths with other victims which is reassuring to know I’m not the only one it’s happining to. Please believe me when I say the remainder of my journey is going just fine meeting some wonderful people along the way both internationals and locals. With Varanasi Standing out.

Hot water - if is not available, after call to the reception they are able arrange it in 10 minutes. WiFi - sometimes disconnected, but can be. Problem with the breakfast - the price is including breakfast, but during 2 weeks never was served in the dinning room. Hotel personel asked to pay in cash - however the possibility of ATM is in the hotel. My room had no window - it was no problem, but the hotel building is such noisy - it is possible to hear people from rooms and personel is talking very loudly during cleaning rooms and also is possible to hear some sounds like from the kitchen. The room have three electric socets: near bed, near TV, in the bathroom - but working was only one, therefore when I needed to charge laptop or mobile, it was possible only to switch off TV and use the working one.

Comfortable beds, elevator, cold+warm water, wi fi generally working, TV and aircondition working without problems. Rooms do not have windows. Price is corresponding to quality.

I spoke with them about driver to wait from me in the air port no one was there
