AnushaI truly loved staying at this Hostel. Everything was so perfect at this here. The first thing I look at any resident is bathroom and here I got the best from my all journeys. Another is free mineral water, next thing is hostel is so clean. Better bed. Everything was perfect and I would love to stay here again if I visit Varanasi. One thing I'm missing are the staffs, they were so helpful and humble. Loved interacting with them. Bathroom, bed, Room, Water facility, Garden, Building, Location, Staffs, etc, all these at a good price is so so so good. I would extremely recommend everyone to stay here.

sachin 154A 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!
