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
September 27, 2022I spent 5 days here and the services and room is awesome. The location is perfect , near railway station and market but quite calm. The staff Vikas and Rajesh are quite helpful. The food is yummy and like home. I will recommend to stay here if you want to enjoy staying in banaras. Love to stay here again if I will go to banaras.
