The room we booked had a Ganga view. The rooms are spacious with all the amenities needed. The location of this hotel is very good you can access the market easily and it is very close to Lakshman Zula. The service is good. This place is mostly sold out so you may face difficulty in prior checkin. You can also book your taxi back to Delhi from here. Also this page has a cute cafe with a Ganga view where you can enjoy it well with a great view.
