    I have been to many hotels but this place stands out because of the amazing behaviour of the staffs. All the staffs especially Sunil Bhaiya is extremely polite and friendly. Apart from this, the hostel is also very good. So if you are looking for a place to stay in Varanasi, I strongly recommend International Travellers Hostel.

    Besides the beautiful structure with a jungle-like garden, the difference is made by manager Bikash Singh. He will be extremely kind and professional with you and will quietly share (if you want) his culture and experience of Varanasi. In short, he will make you feel at home. All people who come to Varanasi should pass through here to understand Varanasi and India. Unforgettable. Thank you Bikash

  • Felt like home😊 The staff was very helpful and cooperative in every means And also the staff were taking full responsibility in making the stay cheerful and asking constantly if there is such any issues in our stay The garden was beautiful and we were allowed to have vibe over there whole night The rooms were clean well spacious. Either you are travelling solo or in group, u will have fun ultimately I only wish one thing that as the winters have begin, if they could provide bonfire in garden It would be 🔥

    The Atmosphere is really beautiful. Owner and the staffs are very good. It gives a homely feel. I enjoyed my stays here and mainly the Mashala Chai is awesome.

    A Peaceful Heaven in Varanasi I stayed in the International Travellers' Hostel for three days after a first night living in the midst of the old city. I was more than delighted to discover this peaceful hostel. The place is calm, clean and you will immediately feel at home here.  I definitely recommend this hostel to anyone who wants to visit the chaotic city of Varanasi, while having a nice place to relax in the evening.I loved how the staff cared for me, the delicious food (and chai), and the peaceful and friendly atmosphere!
