Premium Stay Disappointment

6.0

Disappointing Premium Experience at The India BanarasI recently stayed at The India Banaras, and unfortunately, the experience did not live up to the "extra premium" price tag or the expectations that come with it. For a hotel charging ’7,000 per night, one expects a seamless, proactive level of service. Instead, the stay felt like a constant exercise in "on-demand" frustration.The Issues- Incomplete Room Setup: Upon checking in, several basic amenities were missing from the room. A room should be "guest-ready," but here, it felt like the bare minimum was done.- Substandard Amenities: I had to specifically call and ask for basic toiletries and shower caps. When they finally arrived, the quality was shocking. The packaging looked squashed and discarded - as if they were leftovers from previous guests that had been salvaged and tossed back into circulation.- The "On-Demand" Policy: When I questioned the reception about why a room for two people wasn't properly stocked, I was bluntly told that these items are provided only "on demand."The VerdictPaying a premium rate of 7K per night should guarantee a baseline of luxury and preparedness. Being told that essential toiletries in a high-end hotel are only available "on demand" is, quite frankly, preposterous.If you are looking for a stay where the service is proactive and reflects the price you're paying, you might want to look elsewhere in Varanasi. The current management approach at The India Banaras feels more like a budget hostel than a premium hotel.
