"This a small boutique hotel in Assi ghat area, almost like a guest house or homestay. Very accessible. Room is good sized with one Issue. Room has one window which opens into the main hotel corridor and so effectively cannot be opened at all. There's no natural light or possibility of fresh air. No common area too, just an enclosed dining room. Overall a decent experience. "
