Very convenient location, hospitable and friendly

This is the second time I've stayed in this place. Very convenient location, hospitable and friendly host and staff. Nice large rooms, hot water, air conditioning, fan, sockets. There is something to do in the evenings if you prefer to stay at the hotel. Lots of activities. Somit also opens educational centers for children. which is very generous and heartfelt and adds to the benefits of this whole place.

They asked us to change our room to another property at night around 10pm, and that was far from the original location.

Very bad. The road to the house is crooked. If you have to go at night, it can be a lot of trouble. The bathroom is very small. There is no place even to stand.

Guest house and social project

Somit is friendly and helpful. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed the position, as it's close to the main ghat and right in the middle of the northern and southern part of Varanasi. If you wish, they offer many services (guided personalized tours, courses etc). We appreciated that the owner also run a school for children in need, if you feel like giving them lessons you can also ask Somit to help as a volunteer.

Great experience in the heart of Varanasi’s windy adventurous lanes

Great location walking distance to the main ghats, very nice owner Somit and his family, he can teach you yoga and various things. The double room had a/c and a fan hot water which was very welcome after a sweaty day exploring the ghats They also serve food which was very tasty, and have some seating on the rooftop where there’s some plants. You can help teach the street children that come most days for a lesson if you have some ideas, which I unfortunately didn’t get time to do but can imagine would be quite rewarding.

It’s a great value for money stay close to all the (tourist) attractions. Also, what made it especially better as compared to other budget hostels, is that a part of this hostel is turned into a free school for local children in the evening. It’s a great initiative to improve the livelihoods of the community.
