Situated in the heart of the atmospheric part of the Ghats n an ideal location for all of the sights.

Absolutely dead in the centre of the action, a few minutes walk from the ghats.

The owner is incredibly friendly. He was always checking in on me, asking if I needed anything or if everything was okay. He talked to me every time we met, and meeting such a wonderful Indian person made me so glad I chose this place. I stayed for three nights, and on the day he was away to renew his license, I actually felt a bit lonely when I returned to the guesthouse. That’s how much fun and full of love he is! Also, when my friend came over, he set up a table and chairs on the rooftop so we could enjoy our time right in front of the Ganges River. He is a host who truly wants his guests to be 100% satisfied and happy. You'll have a great time here!

Fabulous location

Location was great - 2 mins to Dashashwamedh Ghat. Wonderful view of the Ganga river from the roof top. Vishnu the owner is warm, welcoming and gave us lots of useful advice. Helped us with laundry at short notice, walked with us to show us the best nearby restaurants etc. Comfy bed, clean room, and plenty of hot water.

Very best memories

The hotel owner, Vishnu were very kind and help us during my stay in Varanasi. The hotel is close to Dashaswameh Ghat, and I can walk to all of Varanasi's tourist highlights. He guided us to a good viewing spot for the Ganga Aarti ceremony which was crowded with so many people.For those who are a little nervous about walking around the Varanasi, he'll definitely help you.

Location and the owner, hot water and air conditioner worked well, but only because we were upgraded. The room we booked didn’t have aircon that worked

The location is very close to: ✓300 meters from Dashashwamedh Ghat ✓700 m from Manikarnika Ghat (crematorium) ✓400 m Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple ✓500 m from Nandi chwok the place where the tuk tuk will drop you off because it is a pedestrian area until the hotel https://maps.app.goo.gl/f3KHcWA4TThw2ngD9 the price / quality ratio is very good. I had a room without A/C only with a fan but the room is cool and the air conditioning was not missing. The hot water works well, the towel is changed daily, free bottled water, clean, white linen. The manager will help you with any information, speaks good English...

Great value accommodation, within easy walking distance of the ghats, allowing easy access to evening Aarti ceremony and to boat trips. Basic room, but clean and with consistent hot water and fan. Owner was exceptionally generous, allowing me the use of the room free of charge for 6 hours after the advertised check-out time.

Very close to the ghats and central areas, comfortable, clean room, and a very helpful host. My most comfortable and clean stay so far in India. The host was really helpful ensuring I would get to the airport without any problems, walking me to a tuk-tuk instructing the driver where a cab would pick me up, and calling the cab to make sure I was picked up. I also arrived early in the morning at got a room right away as there was already a one availeble (actually with a free upgrade). Nice gestures all the way.

Hospitality of the owner was praiseworthy. He even managed to make me visit different temples in a short time sending a local guide.

With so many hotels in Varanasi it was difficult to choose. But, we made the right decision coming to this place and having Vishnu as our host. The hotel is at a great location, close to the main Ghats and loads of good restaurants in the neighbourhood. The room is big and clean, with hot water 24/7. Bed was very comfortable! Vishnu was the best host during our time in India, made sure we were happy and comfortable. He also took us on a really nice food tour where we got very tasty dishes and a lot of interesting information. We had a great night, and 3 wonderful days staying here. Totally recommended.

The location is perfect, very central but far from the traffic. The room was clean. The owner is very forthcoming, brought us a heater, sent some staff to collect us at a designated point to navigate in the pedestrian area, found a taxi for the airport etc. Great value for money
