    Lovely place run by a kindhearted family. Everyone was so nice and helpful at Shiva Lodge, we stayed there for a week. Position is perfect, just few minutes from Dashashwamedh ghat. The place is colorful and gives good homey vibes and the view on the rooftop is special. In the morning you can see from your window the line of people waiting to enter in the small temple nearby.

    First of all it is a sweet shop converted into a so called hotel . It is worse than any lodge or Dharamshala. I am surprised to see how it boasts of becoming a 3 star hotel. I was greeted with water shortage. There was no handwashing in wash room. Overall the staff were rude and disrespectful. I had to cancel its booking midway.

    The hotel was horrible. No lift in the hotel. Dirty couch and bed linens. Ac kept on making sounds throughout the night. They didn't even provide a kettle and cups as part of basic amenities. The hotel can be best rated as a lodge and not a hotel.

    I had an amazing time in Shiva Lodge. The location is perfect, literally next to the ghats and the main temples, yet in a mostly quiet alley. The room was basic but clean and comfy, hot water was available at all times during my stay (always a luxury in India) and the view from the rooftop was stunning. Last but not least, the family running the place is adorable and makes you feel right at home, far from the scrum outside

    The location of the lodge is excellent. It was a huge rush in Varanasi for darshan in Kashii Vishwanath Temple due to the Magh Purnima festival. Due to location adjacent to the temple, we could have Darshan at 6 am in the temple. It took only a 15-minute waiting period. The staff is very cooperative & properly guided us. Good quality Food is easily available nearby. Sincere thanks.

    I had a wonderful stay here. You will be welcomed by the lovely hosts who are kind and always smiling. I felt more safe and at home at Shiva Lodge than anywhere else I stayed during my five weeks in India. It is located right in the middle of everything.

    I stayed in the only room with the view of the Ganga which made the stay all the better. The ladies who run the lodge are lovely and very helpful. It's also really clean by Indian standards.
