    The hostel is at an amazing location, right next to Assi Ghat where the morning ceremony takes place, as well as right next to many restaurants, shops and cafes. The hostel has great vibes, room is big and AC works. Stuff helped with everything...

    Naveen and his family are so nice, I highly recommend staying here. It's nice and quiet compared to most of the city also.

    The location is great and the owners are extremely kind and helpful. I was sick when we arrived, and they really tried to make me feel more comfortable and help me out. Definitely recommend.

Company information

We are two young brothers - Krishna and Naveen - and we manage the family guesthouse together. Naveen completed his Masters in Business Administration in 2012, at the local Banaras Hindu University, one of Asia's biggest universities. We love meeting people from all over the world and find the diverse backgrounds and cultures of our guests fascinating, not to mention valuable in shaping our own understanding of the world. We are more than happy to host our guests beyond a place to sleep, taking them out to see beautiful spots in Varanasi whenever we have the time. We are always here to help and guide so that guest' experience is maximised - it's our pleasure.

Property information

We have been living in the guesthouse for more than 90 years, over four generations, and it is a beautiful spacious property with a welcoming homely feel and a lot of lovely natural light. We currently have three double rooms and two single rooms - with shared bathroom facilities - available for bookings. Our favourite spots are the rooftop terraces where our guests eat breakfast, drink chai and sometimes relax with a cold Indian beer in the afternoon sun. Your friends are our friends, and we encourage you to bring other travellers in to enjoy the beautiful rooftop experience.

Neighbourhood information

We are located just a few minutes walk from the famous Assi Ghat along Varanasi's river, where you can sit and relax, or walk 20-30 minutes further to find the other main Ghats and cremation areas. The Bazaar, markets, shops and restaurants are all walking distance from us and you can rest assured knowing that the neighbourhood is one of the safest in Varanasi, even at night time.
