Great location close to Shivala ghat and in old town. Only 10 min walk from Assi ghat. Lots of restuarants and tuk tuks nearby. The rooms were clean and modern. Very good AC. There were plenty of bathrooms and showers always available. A rooftop with a nice view of the river. Downstairs there were pillows and daybeds to chill in.

They locked the doors at 10:30pm, so can't really stay out, but also the only security so kinda necessary. They offered boat tours but at a higher price then others offer. Otherwise just fine

I have never really liked staying in hotels and lodges but for the first time, I not only liked the experience but loved it. A great place for a low-budget stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city, in the narrow bylanes of Banaras, on the banks of the river Ganga. The pleasant views of the river Ganga from the terrace make your day early in the morning. The staff and manager are also very friendly and make you feel just at home. The campus is also very beautiful and green, soft lighting and music in the evening make the evening beautiful. The cleanliness is also very good. You can also enjoy the food here by spending a little extra money. Will come here again. You must also come once. Thank you booking.com for recommending this it was one of the best evenings of my life that I will remember.

The location of the property couldn’t have been better. Its only a couple of minutes walk from the ghats and has a breath taking panoramic view of the ghats, ancient temples and the Ganga from the terrace. The hostel is rustic in feel, but importantly very clean. The staff Sudhir, Pawan and the dude Manager Vikram made my stay excellent. My primary purpose was Yoga, and it had the right environment for me, it was quiet, with like minded guests(most of the time) and very clean. They seemed to have an emphasis on enforcing the rules of the hostels and keep the rowdy ones away. I ended up staying 20 days here and will be back. Some noteworthy facilities include washing machine, Kitchen and good WiFi coverage.

Absolutely fantastic place. Nandlalji & Vikrant were so helpful and humble. Sudhir and other supporting staff were apt. They pay personal attention on everyone’s need. Location is perfect! away from crowded ghats and closer to clean- calmer Ghats. 4-5 minutes walk away from Assi. Building has many airy spaces and corridors. along with small veggi garden. Bonfire, Tv room, rooftop, terrace common space, free clean water. Free washing machine is cherry on the top. No curfew time.

Nothing much, just a room size, is bit smaller, specially with your luggage.

Good locality: you can explore Varanasi along the river and also it is not far from the university complex with the Temple. Large terrace with Ganga view and also closed against wind area for chilling up there. The shape and colors of the bilding is interesring to live there. Many tipes of rooms are there. Mattresses are soft. They have hot water there. They have washing machine and washing powder free of charge for guests. They have smthg like garden, where you can eat, also common area for eating chiling, watching TV. Wi-Fi was good, mobile signal also was good there. One can other indian and chinese food there.

I have not any inconveniences there.

An amazing place with all the Amenities and is super comfy. Just a 10 min walk to the ghats and 10 min drive to the Kashi Vishwanath temple. The sunrise vie from the roof top is something you cannot miss. Hotel manager Vikram has been so kind and warm to me. They’ve been checking on me every now and then , making sure I don’t get lost in the crowd or face any difficulties. And the chef sudheer, has been equally helpful when I needed someone to accompany me at late hours, also cooks amazing food in Just few minutes.I didn’t have to face any difficulties in finding a guide, they arranged one person Gopal, and he takes care of almost everything that you need. The city tour and boat ride were the best parts . I would say this is a home for everyone in Varanasi and value for money

Room needs a little more ventilation

Location is great. It gives you the best feeling of varanasi- the lanes, the ghats and the people. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Lovely view of the Ganges from the terrace.

The bathroom could be renovated a bit, the paint was chipping off due to water seepage.

The property was exactly as shown in the images. The property was value for money. It is hard to find such a comfortable, safe and cheap place to stay. As a solo traveler i found the place as safe and the staff there was very generous , they can help you in any possible till you are in Banaras.

The property is cosy and staff polite and helpful. Rooms are clean. They provide tea and snacks on order basis. You can have a view of Ganga from the terrace and some of the dorms. It has 2 common rooms one on the terrace and other in the ground floor and a small garden with dining tables. It's walking from Assi Ghat and approx 3 km from Kashi Vishwanath temple.

The property is 100 m from the main road and approach to it is through narrow lanes which are not maintained. Overall Property is good and worth for money.
