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, 2022Hands down one of the best trips of my life, and The Hosteller gets all the credit. The property was cozy and quaint, the staff was extremely warm and made you feel right at home, and the energy screamed Varanasi through and through. Best part? The fellow travellers I met. I brought back new friends and life long memories with me, all thanks to The Hosteller. Cherry on top of the cake was definitely the hostel Manager, Bikas Singh!

March 29, 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.
