My room was clean and comfortable. The disconnect was with the service. Of all the hotels and guest houses I've stayed at in India ( dozens) I never experienced some of the baffling customer service moments. I went to the restaurant alone for dinner and was told I could not eat as they were too busy. Then I was told to go to my room and order room service. I went to the separate bar and was stopped at the door and told we are full. When I negotiated with someone to just let me order a drink to take to my room I found four empty bar stools. I have no idea why I was turned away twice. I was dressed nicely in Indian clothing, I was polite as I always am and it didn't matter. I went to the front desk and told a manager. He walked me to the restaurant and was told the same, too busy to let her sit down. He apologized and make a point that I would get a seat a dinner the following evening. But in a country where "Guest is God" and almost every single person I've encountered in the service industry goes above and beyond to help, that did not happen at Suyra . ![The "Full bar" where I was told I couldn't sit. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7329A49E517130113A28F649BCD2F5B23EEEA4AF1572631074021.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Amy Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 2 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Relatively quiet and maybe safe place in Varanasi, because pretty far from the central Varanasi/Ganga. It takes about 30 minitues by automobile. There are still a several tuk-tuk drivers waiting for riders. Building is pretty old but still Okay. They have papers in toilet. It is better to bring your slippers because they do not prepare. Wifi connection was sometime slow or lost. Restaurant was good. <日本語> ワラナシ中心部（ガンジス川近郊）から遠いので、比較的静かで安全そうな地域に位置していますが、中心部までは自動車・バイク等で30分ほどかかります。ホテルのまわりには中心部ほどではありませんが、乗客を待ち構えるトゥクトゥクドライバーがいます。建物は古めですが、問題ない程度です。トイレに紙も用意されていました。スリッパは用意されていないので、持って行ったほうがいいです。Wi-Fiは時々遅かったりつながらなかったりします。レストランはおいしかったです。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 16 Jun 2019 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service Door latches and locks dont work, Room service is very much late and the breakfast was not at all upto mark. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Nitin 6 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good Hotel, Good Rooms I will surely stay in the same hotel in my next visit. ##### Nitin Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 28 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The service and the staff are really nice!! The restaurant they have it’s really good and the rooms are perfect. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 7 Mar 2019 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness A unique property, kind of like a heritage building, location is decent, most of the staff is excellent, shout out to Gopal the hotel lifeguard and boatman, very kind and approachable person and gives excellent boat tours of the Ganges, he did everything he could to make our stay comfortable. Food and drinks where decent as well, prices where average. Nothing special I guess. However the room cleaning staff where quite rude, wouldn’t provide clean towels for the room unless I have them a tip, had to call down to the front desk three times, each time they brought me the wrong item and then asked for a tip for cleaning the room, pretty sure they where doing it on purpose just to try and get money from me. Also did a poor job cleaning the room, floor was merkey and bed sheet where quit old and used. Staff did not replace dirty towels, just pick them up off the floor and hang them back up. For this reason I give the hotel a mediocre rating, definitely room for improvement ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Ghanshyam 12 Feb 2019 Liked: Property conditions & facilities BuffetNeeds more staff Breakfast and dinner not good also staff level very l ##### Ghanshyam Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa 7 Feb 2019 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort Basic hotel nothing outstanding.

Away from the crazy hustle of the city. The room was beautiful and this makes for an overall excellent pick for the area. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### HC, Dallas/Ft. Worth Area, Texas 19 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I could've stayed at the Clarks Varanasi (the venue for the meeting). I found Surya (about 300m/3-5 min walking dist. to the Clarks) having pretty good reviews & reasonable costs. My stay at Surya was excellent and fully satisfied (one thing: the shower drain was slow, a minor thing for me). The breakfast was very good (chose it with the lodging cost). The hotel has a restaurant, having Indian/Chinese dishes, and they were excellent. I ate at other hotels and a non-hotel restaurant. But the restaurant at Surya is the one I would recommend to anyone. The hotel staff were very friendly and would do their best to resolve any issue. The hotel setting is nice with a garden in the middle of the hotel surrounded by the hotel complex. It does have a bar next to the garden. I would recommend Surya without hesitation to those who visit Varanasi. OTHER INFO: From the Varanasi airport to Surya takes about 25-35 min WITHOUT traffic. I took a non-commercial taxi by Sarat Travel (a booth INSIDE the exit terminal, 780 rup. (to Surya) & 600 rup. (for return). If there is traffic, it can take more than 1, up to 2 hrs as I heard. For currency exchange, the airport has one (just exchange enough for your taxi with some extra) as you can get better rate from the one near Surya (walking from Surya to the main street, turn left, enter into the office area immediately after turning, a small office right to a travel agency, less than 3 min walking). Have a small bills, e.g., 10/20/50 rup. for tipping. ##### HC Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 3 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort The property is nice and big and worth the money.Need more cleanliness and efficiency in housekeeping staff service ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Grand Mercure Agra](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agra-Hotels-Crystal-Sarovar-Premiere-Agra.h12328503.Hotel-Information) > > [Hard Rock Hotel Goa Calangute](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calangute-Hotels-Hard-Rock-Hotel-Goa.h5171850.Hotel-Information) > > [Trident, Agra](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agra-Hotels-Trident.h45487.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Swarna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amritsar-Hotels-Taj-Swarna.h15935907.Hotel-Information) > > [Whispering Palms Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Candolim-Hotels-Whispering-Palms-Beach-Resort.h2598007.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oberoi Cecil, Shimla](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shimla-Hotels-The-Oberoi-Cecil.h68929.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agra-Hotels-The-Oberoi-Amarvilas.h551355.Hotel-Information) > > [Aurika, Udaipur - Luxury by Lemon Tree Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Udaipur-District-Hotels-Aurika-Udaipur.h40886310.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Ranthambore Regency](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sawai-Madhopur-Hotels-Hotel-Ranthambore-Regency.h19563489.Hotel-Information) > > [Seashell Suites and Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Candolim-Hotels-Seashell-Suites-And-Villas.h12778567.Hotel-Information) > > [The St. Regis Goa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavelossim-Hotels-The-St-Regis-Goa-Resort.h438378.Hotel-Information) > > [Little India Beach Cottages](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calangute-Hotels-Little-India-Beach-Cottages.h10981751.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Pune by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pune-Hotels-Conrad-Pune-By-Hilton.h12270445.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada by Wyndham Jalandhar City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jalandhar-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-Jalandhar-City-Centre.h4225454.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Goa Candolim](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Candolim-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Goa-Candolim.h1039834.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Goa Dona Sylvia Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavelossim-Hotels-Novotel-Goa-Dona-Sylvia-Hotel.h2516280.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Lake Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Udaipur-District-Hotels-Taj-Lake-Palace.h526333.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Madikeri Resort & Spa, Coorg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Madikeri-Hotels-Taj-Madikeri-Resort-Spa.h5270400.Hotel-Information) > > [Madhubhan Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anand-Hotels-Madhubhan-Resort-Spa.h5087959.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Resort Goa by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavelossim-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Resort-Goa.h696977.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Ludhiana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ludhiana-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Ludhiana.h7597440.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Jalandhar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jalandhar-Hotels-Radisson-Hotel-Jalandhar.h905331.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Goa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anjuna-Hotels-The-Westin-Goa.h66031217.Hotel-Information) > > [Goa Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Panaji-Hotels-Goa-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h522986.Hotel-Information) > > [Kenilworth Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Uttorda-Hotels-Kenilworth-Resort-Spa.h881558.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, Goa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Benaulim-Hotels-Taj-Exotica-Resort-Spa.h663615.Hotel-Information) > > [Mistral Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Benaulim-Hotels-Mistral-Holidays.h22181997.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Amritsar Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amritsar-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Amritsar.h2384383.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Greater Noida by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Greater-Noida-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Greater-Noida.h5814440.Hotel-Information) ---
