Everything went well. The welcome was great, the food was great (they accommodated dietary restrictions), the rooms were clean with all the luxury amenities. They gave us rooms near each other and also helped make the birthday celebration for my mom very special.

    Clean, comfortable hotel. Very friendly staff. Excellent tasty food and a wide selection.. What else do we need?! We almost booked in a 5 star hotel elsewhere, but unfortunately they didn't have walk-in shower, which we were looking for elderly parents. I would rate Madin as 5 stars!! Well done, staff and management 😁

    The property is adjacent to the ghat with a view of the Ganga river from the terrace . It’s neat and clean . The staff is very cooperative and friendly . Kuldeep , the host gives personal attention to all the guests and makes sure that the trip is beyond the Varanasi that you wanted to visit . I had amazing stay and thanks to him visited many other places that were not on my list . 5 stars!

    Not much of a choice in breakfast. From two items had to choose one.But the plus point was we felt at home & also felt appreciated. I always used to think that the best hotel experience would come from something amazingly luxurious. But no— the thrill of super luxury is a game of one-upmanship, designed to satisfy vanity, not curiosity. And all thanx to M K Grand to have all amenities of a 5 star embedded in a 3 star😊

    Wonderful place! I've stayed here before, and when I was going to visit Varanasi again I definitely decided to stay here. After renovation the place became even more nicer, cosy rooms, very clean - the cleanest place in India I've ever stayed in:)))) it's in a calm corner close to Assi ghat, comfortable location for a tourist to have a good rest. Andvthe main thing about the place are the owners - nice family of great hospitality ready to help in every little thing! Definitely 5 stars and 100% recommended! Will come again!

    The hotel is close to the main ghat and most rooms have a river view. The staff was amazing! They helped us with everything. Organized a very good guide, a boad ride and also a car for a day trip. The indian food in the small restaurant was excelent, just one cook, but he did a very good job. The hotel is small but has a nice authentic flair. You will not find five star luxury, but you will find a nice stay in a great location with an warm welcome from the people here. We enjoyed it very much!
