Location is great. Host Yash is helpful and knowledgeable. It’s a home stay so one should visit it with that expectation and not a hotel service.

I would not seek anything more out of this place if not, the comfort of stay and tranquility.

He was quite helpful. A stay near the ghats would only help you with the most authentic experience one can have in Banaras. What more would you want other than stepping out and you are at the most famous Ghats of Banaras. It's the luxury in the chaos of these famous Ghats that people look for. It helped me to connect to the roots and I could perform my rituals with the comfort of staying closer to Ganges. You get to explore the famous Galiyaan and so safe at night too. I could walk through the Galis at night to board a vehicle for the airport.

Sometimes electricity or the hot water was not working which is not a big deal for us. But to be fair, we found the room a bit pricey for the level of comfort they offered. Nonetheless we would definitely stay at You and I café again!

We enjoyed our stay at You and I Café. Yash, the owner was a great host and helped us a lot with getting Indian simcards and train tickets to Delhi. The homestay is a bit hidden in a narrow alley close to the river, but has a very nice rooftop terrace and restaurant. We spent many hours up there drinking chai, reading and watching the monkeys in the tree :) The rooms are modern, basic but clean. We had a hot water shower and a window with a view to the river side.

More like a home stay than a hotel. Wasn't provided with a key for my door or any explanation of the facilities. Just walked in and was pointed to a room.

Absolutely amazing location. 2 mins to the main Ghats. Roof top is nice to relax on. Quiet area even though it's so close to everything.

Long walking time with luggage from main road, but that's how it is in all stays in Bangali Tola area.

The host was nice and the location was very good

This is a paid guest house which is very near to the ghat and Babaji Temple. We had a great stay.

It was clean and comfortable with a friendly staff, good food, and view of the Ganges.

One of the best home stays, that we have stayed in. The host Ashutosh chaturvedi is very helpful. The room was neat and clean, the food was great, just like home cooked meals. Great for families, and very close to the ghat. The host also arranged, and helped us for Aarti at Assi Ghat , must stay here if you're looking for family atmosphere

One room is big but without windows. River facing room size is medium, but the bed is small for 2. Old building renovated as a home stay. No lift is available. So, if u have elderly people with a walking disability then this property is not for you because most of the rooms are on the 2nd floor, and only one room for 3 people sharing is on the 1st floor. The property is in Bengali tola Road, which is iconic for its narrowest lanes in Varanasi. So, with lots of luggage if you would like to come, it may put you in trouble because the owner is the sole person to take care of everything and hence, self support is required.

Property is maintained and clean. It is just beside the ganga River. One room was river facing. Open terrace is there where u can sit for the whole day while u can enjoy the scenic beauty of ganga and order your food. The owner is the only one who is taking care of everything. He is very helpful. But his availability all the time can not be expected. So, if you can manage yourself most of the time and want to enjoy serenity, then this property is exactly what you are looking for. This property is in a walkable distance from Dashwamedh ghat. The owner is in charge of ganga aarti at Assi ghat. So, if you are staying here, he can arrange for a good seat to enjoy this event.

Nothing to say to be honest, maybe add some simple deserts to the cafe's menu :)

Best place we have stayed at in Varanasi. The hotel is very conveniently located, just a short walk to the ghats. There are no streets with traffic nearby, so the area is very quiet and peaceful. Very nice room with a great view, everything was clean and confortable. The owner was kind and gave helpful advice. The hotel has a rooftop café, and we are very grateful to the chef who cooked wonderfully.

Nothin there wasn't a thing we didn't like. It perfectly located, everything is accessible on foot distance.

The stay just next to ghat, if you book the window room, you'll see ganga ji flowing, serene view, Hardly a mintue and you're on ghat, dashashwamedh ghat is only 3 min walking distance. Room was properly cleaned & sanitised. Owner is real nice, homely feel there. Rooftop caffe is there, serves real delicious food. No restrictions on in-out time.

We had an amazing 8-day stay at You and I Cafe in Varanasi! The rooftop cafe with its Ganga view was our favorite spot to work and unwind, while the ghats were just a 5-minute walk away. Shashi Bhaiya, the chef, made the food with so much love, and Yash, the owner, was incredibly knowledgeable, he was helpful with anything we needed, and also a great storyteller! A perfect mix of warmth, great food, and unbeatable location—this place truly felt like home!

everything 1. they don't pick calls . i almost called them 30 times to know the way and they called back after an hour 2. Owner is completely unaware of how service is provided. when we finally reached the hotel somehow after walking almost for a kilometre, he was busy eating food and asked us to wait 3. washrooms... not good. jet doesn't work properly . absolutely cramped.

Nothing to not like.

The room was cozy and clean with a nice view of ghat. My stay, as a first time solo traveller and that too on the weekend of Dev Diwali couldn't have been better. The ghats are only 2 min walk making it so much easy to access. Mr. Yash was so helpful and he made my entire experience of attending Ganga Aarti such a pleasure that I am sure that I will return.

Nothing

it is very nice clean right next to the gath, it has a balcony with a view of the ganga and monkeys outside the window. the owner is very friendly and helpful, I can highly recommend it, I will definitely come back there

Stayed in November 2024

The view from the room with sunrise and Ganga view was exactly what I was looking for. Room is few steps away from the main Dadhaswamedh Ghat. Yash, is a great host and the place offers complete privacy. View from the rooftop restaurant is amazing with freshly cooked food. Looking forward to visit again 🤍🫶

Location is good if you want to really experience Benares daily life. The owner is helpful as he recommends places of interest and taxi service if required :) Also the roof too bad is quite handy to chill :)
