One of the friendliest places to stay if you find yourself in Banaras. Manager Sunil being the very kind of person you wish to see at a front desk. A very well maintained place with great ambiance very close to the cantt station and the ghats. Do book yourselves a bunk if you wish you meet amazing people at this amazing hostel!

March 13, 2021Friendly 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 !

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

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.
