Hotel Alka

The view is fabulous of Gangaji and it is very near the Dashwamedh Ghat where the Ganga Arti is held each day - the location of the hotel on the Meer Ghat is superb. The restaurant staff is very friendly and while the food options are limited, the Indian menu is nice.

Room service is non existent. No drinking water is provided in the room,even the minimum 1 or 2 bottles and in the restaurant, one has to buy water - which would be something unique anywhere ! No change of linen or towels are done and the rooms are not cleaned daily as any decent hotel would. After being in a better room with attached bath in a group, I had shifted to a solo room with a shared bathroom which was more like a common bathroom for all and sundry that did not have proper facilities and the toilet was only Indian which a fat person would not even fit in ! You are requested to ensure that the bathroom pics are also put on the web site.

Only the food and cafetaria service

They keep change the rooms never keep as promise aa understood alka turn down customers upon receiving customers pays them with usd or eur , previllage given to them. Rajesh ia tricky manager doesnt keep his word, he demands room.charges more than published rate.

Location of this hotel is simply great. Unfortunately there is nothing else that is worth staying there for.

Rooms were with heavy stale air all the time. AC and hot water were not working. Food in the restaurant was abysmal.

I stayed in the budget room, booked for 4 nights, but i requested for early check out, shorten my stays there for 2 nights only due to the location. I must thank their management for helped me on this and charged me for 2 nights only. The hotel is perfect, nice restaurant, and the room is also good for the price we paid.

Only issue is the location, its very difficult to find the hotel, as its located among the ghats, the entrance is about 1 km from roads and need to walk all the way. The hotel boys can receive as from the road to helps us to carry our luggage, still this place not recommended for elders. Easier access by boats from assi ghat to hotel. quite expensive also.
