Varanasi is very noisy, but I requested a room further away from the front of the hotel and it worked. The fact that room was divided in two parts (before entering the main bedroom there was sort of a small private little room with a couch) also helped to give it sound proofing (from the interior hotel sounds). Anyway, this was the best feature of the hotel for me, ***** with the bathroom, which was pretty big and had a nice shower. Before coming to this hotel spent a few days in a different hotel, on Luxa rd., which was closer to the location I was going to the most: Dashashwamedh Ghat. The Dolphin hotel wasn't as near, and the streets around it weren't friendly to walk on, so while I was there I had to resort to using Tuc Tuc's all the time. What else? The Dolphin hotel is simple, the staff was friendly enough, and its restaurant (and breakfast) was nothing to brag about. (Food wise, I kept using Cafe 1916, the restaurant at Luxa Rd. that became my go-to place in Varanasi, for breakfast, lunch and often dinner. Good food, not too spicy, good price; it was suggested to me by a GuruWalk guide.
