    Loved everything. We have been to many hotel in India but never had friendly and nice environment as this hotel. I would recommend anyone who comes to Varanasi to come here for comfortable stay. Felt like 5 star hotel !! And helped us with local tour guide and driver for long route. Can’t explain enough but our trip was successful because of hotel staff members.

    The breakfast was nothing to write about. The spread was much less compared to other Five Star Hotels. The fruits were limited and mostly raw. the south indian dishes were an apology.

    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!
