It is important that you send us your the PNR number mentioned on your train ticket, NAME OF CITY WHERE YOUR TRAIN IS DEPARTING FROM, AND ARRIVAL TIME AT VARANASI JN OR MUGHALSARAI JN with your email only if you are opting for pickup service.
For airport pickup, please send us your FLIGHT NAME AND COMPANY NAME, FLIGHT NUMBER AND ARRIVAL TIME AT BABATPUR AIRPORT with your email only if you are opting for pickup service.
If you do not have your exact train detail and you are thinking to find us on you own, you can easily call us from the railway station @ Rs 2/minute ONLY from any local STD-ISD-PCO sign(telephone booth) shops. You do not even need a cell or mobile phone for this. Just make a correct note of our phone numbers from this website.
We usually recommend our guest to wait at the famous TOURIST INFORMATION CENTER AND THE INQUIRY OFFICE at the main ENTRANCE HALL nearby the PLATFORM OR TRACK NO. 1 OF VARANASI JUNCTION STATION " NOT THE MUGHALSARAI STATION " and call us from the TELEPHONE BOOTH (PCO) NEXT TO IT , ask the guy at the shop to help you if you are having problem dialing the telephone number .
Guest who arrives at Mushalsarai Jn can also phone us when they arrive there , and we will explain how you can find us .
BUT WE ALWAYS RECOMMEND YOU TO ORGANIZE THE PICKUP SERVICE WITH US TO AVOID ALL THE HASSLES AS THE CITY IS FULL OF MAZE AND TWISTY ALLEYWAYS AND THE LOCALS WHO WILL ALWAYS CONFUSE YOU BY TAKING YOU TO THE OTHER HOTELS FOR THEIR HIGH COMMISSION.
THE LOCAL DRIVERS AT THE STATION WHO ARE NOT OUR DRIVER CAN ALSO TELL YOU THAT WE ARE FULL, UNAVAILABLE, CLOSED ETC , HENCE YOU SHOULD STAY IN THEIR BEST HOTEL , THAT IS ALL SCAM .
Our drivers are honest, humble,responsible, hard working and very sharp in their work .
If you are thinking of a budget place to stay for a week or more, you will definitely like the character of the house and you will be comfortable to stay here so close to the centre of everything.
