    The cleanness of the hostel room and linen was not upto to the mark. The pillow was provided without cover and with so many stain on that. Even after asking for the pillow cover they were not attentive to the request. Need to improve in cleanliness and service.

    The roof top sitting space and common room to sit and relax.

    I had a good experience in this place. The shared rooms are well equipped. They have two bathrooms; you have a space to leave your things in a safe place; each bed has a possibility to charge a mobile phone, a light and its own fan. Also, the air conditioning works very well. The place is very well located and you can reach the main points of Varanasi on foot in 20-25 minutes. There is also a large common area for sharing and playing. The receptionists are very friendly and helpful. Thank you, Gypsy!

    Cleanliness should be improved and there is no way to have natural sunlight in the room (at least mine).

    The property has everything you need. The staff is really friendly and always ready to help you putting a lot of effort in it.

    I recently stayed at this property and booked a dorm, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience. The dorm was neat, clean, and surprisingly spacious, which made my stay very comfortable. A special shout-out to Mr. Nitin, the property manager, who went above and beyond to assist me with everything I needed. He was incredibly helpful, professional, and made sure my stay was hassle-free. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-managed stay. Thank you, Mr. Nitin, and the entire team for such a pleasant experience!

    There was some construction work happening, but that was not too bothersome. Inside my room things were relatively peaceful.

    The hostel is located in the Aurangabad area of Varanasi. It connects easily to the busy commercial area of Luxa road, and therefore it is not too far away for food. It is tucked into a small lane off the Luxa-Aurangabad road, and hence is relatively peaceful and quiet. Staff were friendly, and asked me if I would like to see my room first before making the payment, just to be sure that we are happy with the room. Staff were helpful in helping with directions.

    The location is a bit odd, in a street that feels a bit sketchy at night and far away from the river. Other than that everything was great!

    The room was perfectly tidy and it was very comfortable to stay there! The staff was also very nice!

    They should clear the dustbin on a daily basis. The washroom is not of top quality but it will serve the purpose. You will get hot water in winter.

    It was a decent stay here during the month of December 2024. The staff is good and helpful. The room is ok. The price range is 500 to 600 INR.
