“Awesome Stay in Varanasi!”
This place has my warmest recommendations, especially for those traveling alone. Convenient dorms, clean and fresh, well looked after. The staff and the food here has been such a surprise - very friendly, open and welcoming approach. The food was delicious! For me, the location was not an issue, with some patience with Google maps you will find your way. Its calm space around and shops, restaurants and ghats are in very close walking distance.
