    Super central location (10min easy walk to the ghats), good a/c in the dorm and, most of all, extremely helpful & friendly owner: Faiz will do anything to support you during your stay, useful visit suggestions included. Highly recommended, of course :)

    Aircon a bit noisy. Didn't prevent me from sleeping though 😊

    I never met such a friendly owner of a hostel. Faiz is a really nice man, who even - on his scooter - took my around the city and to temples. You feel really welcome and wanted as a guest in this hostel. Stayed in a double room with private bathroom. Basic and good. Will stay here again, if I return to Varanasi.

    Everything was great, worth for the money

    Hospitality was very Good, Faiz’s helping tendency have no words to express. I’m doing solo travel from 2.5 years, this place is one of the few that I admire about the hospitality.

    Everything is good, but if you allow the pet's, then I think it really helpful for all the pet parents to stay here.

    Firstly it is under the budget and provide good facilities in under the budget. So everything is good.

    Can’t think of anything.

    The location is amazing. Next to some of the main ghats along the Ganges. The staff were incredible. Faiz (son of the owner) made me feel right at home. He brought me to his favourite cafe and the next morning showed me the Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple, the BHU Campus and Assi Ghat. He helped make my Varanasi experience unforgettable!

    Nothing to dislike here

    All the main ghat is near to hotel like shivala ghat, assi Ghat, dasaswamedh ghat, maximum 10 to15 by auto. All staff are very helpful. Hygiene is good and bathroom option for both Indian and western. Highly recommended to this hotel to everyone if you came back in Varanasi so I choose this hotel again

    The rooms are big, neat and clean. It would be better if they could come up with a kitchen in a hotel. Overall it is a nice place to stay in.

    I went on a solo trip to Varanasi. Faiz who was at reception was very kind. He called me a couple of times after I booked my hotel. When I checked it, the room was neat and clean. To my surprise, they turned on the AC before I checked in. Overall room size was ok, it was clean. He helped me in planning my itinerary, gave suggestions regarding public transport and which mandir to go first. The next day I had to visit Kashi Vishwanath ji mandir early in the morning. Chote lal who is the receptionist at night, requested him to open the gate. he was very polite to do it. The hotel allows outside food as well. This hotel is at walking distance to assi ghat. You will find everything at walking distance from this hotel. Faiz, chote lal and Owais were very kind throughout my stay and helped me with each detail about holy places,helped me in planning everything. Whoever is visiting Kashi, this is one of the best hotels. The room is okay but the service is great. Highly recommended to everyone.
