    Location... Great if you really want to stay on the river. We thought we did but regretted it as it's a stressful area to stay. I wouldn't recommend it for more than one or two nights

    Friendly staff, clean rooms, nice rooftop and balconies.

    The onky drawback is the water pressure in the toilets. Flush and the water spray wasnt great :)

    The location is amazing between Manikarnika Ghat and Dashashmawedh Ghat. Both a 5 min walk thru the Ghats. Kashi Vishwanath Temple was another 5 min walk thru the galis. The staff was great.

    Perfect location overlooking the Ganges. The hotel has various terraces offering superb views and quiet shady places to spend some quiet time away from the bustle of the ghats. The hotel staff are really welcoming and helpful.

    Tough to get Wi-Fi or hot water. Needs more than one pillow and bath towel is like sand paper. TV and Fridge did not work but we did not end up using them

    Super location. It’s a guest house so not much in the way of facilities but basic restaurant for breakfast, dinner or drinks. Make sure to use their drop off and pick up service. Cheap and helpful as the guest house is not easy to find. Get the best rooms as they have a million dollar view from the balcony and worth every penny. This hotel is about being at the center of the ghats

    It took me a while to get used to the bathroom and light switches.

    Fantastic location ✨🔥 I m so happy I chose this guest house. It’s close to the key activities (for me) in Varanasi, I felt like I m in the middle of everything Also incredibly helpful was the stuff: they offered transfer, carried my luggage for 10 minutes in the most busiest Varanasi (I can only imagine how complicated would it be to arrange it myself). Offered city tours, boat tours … I mean I m very grateful for my amazing experience of Varanasi

    For the price of the room the shower could have been much better! There was also an annoying drip from the boiler onto the surrounding edges of the sink - making my toiletries feel a bit yucky.

    We were met by 2 smiling faces in a crowd of mayhem - these two lovely men carried our bags throughout the narrow winding roads. I booked a deluxe room as it had a great view of the Ganges. The wifi was pretty good throughout. Food in the restaurant was fine. Staff very friendly and helpful. Bed was comfy.

    It’s expensive for what it is. Breakfast is not included and is much more expensive than elsewhere. We found much better value for money food nearby. The shower had little to no pressure, difficult to wash properly.

    Really you’re paying for the view, which is great. Bed was comfortable. Room was very cold-extra blankets were provided when requested. Staff were friendly and helpful.
