    I 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.

  • Not so much costly. Polite behavior of staff. Good facility depends on your payment. Quick response of staff and management via Google business, WhatsApp etc. Walking distance from Varanasi Junction.

    Very healthy atmosphere, extending days of stay is common here. Value for money remains the highlight along with lively interiors Manager Mr. Sunil Chaubey is very cooperative and is the soul of the place, from your arrival till your last day, his spirit of hospitality remains high and unmatched.

Life In Mystical Kashi

Ringing temple bells and stretches of river banks crowded with devotees – boating on river Ganga in Varanasi is an enchanting experience.
