You 'x' ITH

International Travellers’ Hostel (ITH) is an award-winning hostel that was set up by a traveller for other travellers. From the beginning we have maintained our integrity to the spirit of independent and adventure travel. We’ve combined the best of a modern and yet elegant backpackers’ hostel—where you can meet like-minded travellers—with the warmth of a homestay, giving you the opportunity to acquaint with our ‘Banarasi’ culture.

The hostel is situated just minutes away from the popular Varanasi Junction Railway Station (BSB).

Beautifully Equipped

#MadeforTravellers: We have made ITH beautiful, and we have equipped it with essential amenities that we think you will absolutely love. From free purified drinking water to reliable and fast Wi-Fi to Premium Vegan Toiletries – you name it. Oh, did we mention cosy yet?

Everyone who has known ITH from the beginning knows that we nothing but constantly evolve into a better and better version of our previous selves.

Travellers Love ITH

  • Why was it excellent? Because it is a home away from home. Such lovely people, the staff, especially Mr. Sunil and Mr. Rajesh. They take care of you as if they are your family. I am going to visit soon again.

    Hands 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!

    Friendly and helpful staff. Good atmosphere, backpackers and all. Might get some tips for your next destination. Not a party place. Rather quiet and tranquil. Nice garden to chill (if you don't get biten by mosquitoes). The private room was so nice. Well decorated. Lots of details that made us feel like home. Big and clean bathroom. Water temperature/pressure good. We even got toiletries and all! Recommended by @lifetimetravelmates !
