Als wir ankamen Leider sehr enttäuschender Aufenthalt. Trotz Bitte um ein ruhiges Zimmer gab es massive Bauarbeiten mit lauter Bohrmaschine, sodass an Erholung nicht zu denken war. Die Reaktion des Personals war langsam…

So much rubbish outside - couldn't open the curtains on one side as that's all you could see. Building work going on inside the hotel so quite noisy

Under construction and renovation, poor staff responsible, waiting at check out and allocated room was not up to the mark. Allocated room had a temperature control not bath room accessories

- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.

Questions about HOTEL RIO BENARAS
What time is check-in and check-out at HOTEL RIO BENARAS?
Check-in is from 1:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does HOTEL RIO BENARAS allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at HOTEL RIO BENARAS?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Is breakfast included at HOTEL RIO BENARAS?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does HOTEL RIO BENARAS have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at HOTEL RIO BENARAS?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does HOTEL RIO BENARAS have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at HOTEL RIO BENARAS?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 1:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book HOTEL RIO BENARAS?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
