This has been the best place I have stayed at in India so far. It's very clean, the area is super quiet and the staff is so kind. They helped me to get some medical help when I needed and catered to my needs to get better quickly. I felt like I was staying with family.

Maa Durga is one of a kind! Vishnu is one of the most genuine, caring, kind,inspiring, knowledgeable, helpful and compassionate humans we have ever met in India! Our room was perfect, we slept like babies, the water hot and pressure was awesome! Location is prime, right off the Ghats but still quiet enough to get all the rest you need! Vishnu is known for his delicious chai and heartfelt conversation! He knows everything and everyone in Varanasi and can help you plan and execute your adventures with a quickness.. He truly cares about his guests and genuinely wants the best for you! If you want to go on a real adventure ask him about his street food tour, so awesome!! Over all we loved our stay and will always choose Maa Durga and Vishna when we visit Varanasi!!! Thank you for everything!!!

Azure Family Paying Guest House

Varanasi

Just a 7-minute walk from Assi Ghat and 0.7 miles from Sri Sankata Mochan Hanuman Temple, Azure Family Paying Guest House features accommodations in Varanasi, with a shared lounge.

Azure Family Paying Guest House turned out to be the most memorable accommodation for me. I visited Benares on the second day of my travel itinerary. Before arriving, I had encountered numerous issues in New Delhi, such as being scammed by taxi drivers and having my hotel reservation on booking.com canceled without prior notice, which left me feeling frustrated. Nevertheless, when I reached the guest house, the owner, Sona, greeted me with a cup of freshly brewed coffee. It was the most delightful coffee I had ever tasted, instantly putting me at ease. Furthermore, during my stay, she assisted me in booking a train ticket and provided a brief overview of the surrounding area. Her warm hospitality allowed me to thoroughly enjoy my three-day stay in Benares. The location of the guest house was also ideal. Since it was situated slightly away from the bustling main street, I was spared the constant noise of car horns and had no trouble sleeping peacefully at night. Additionally, the Ganges River was only a 10-minute walk from the guest house, which enabled me to experience the beautiful sunrise every morning after waking up at 6 a.m. On top of that, the facilities were excellent. I had access to a hot shower, reliable Wi-Fi, and a spacious and comfortable bedroom.

My stay at Kashi Om Vilas Home Stay was absolutely wonderful! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The hospitality was exceptional, making me feel right at home. The peaceful ambiance and great location made my visit even more special. Plus, it was within walking distance to the Ganga Aarti and ghats, which was incredibly convenient. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Varanasi!"

Stay in Someshwar

Stay in Someshwar enjoys a location in Varanasi, a 15-minute walk from Kedar Ghat and 0.8 miles from Harishchandra Ghat.

Stay in Someshwar has it all: amazing quiet location, kind and generous hosts, clean rooms with all facilities. The location is superb: at the top of the stairs for the Dashashwamedh ghat and close to all of the action on the main road, which is filled with shops and restaurants. It’s only a one-minute walk to the evening aarti. Our hosts arranged a morning aarti boat ride, changed our money, provided a space heater when we were cold (it was January), and gave us plenty of recommendations. I fell ill while I was there and the brothers took me to their family doctor and I am so grateful. You’ll feel like part of the family yourself when you stay there—highly appreciated and recommended

I will recommend this place to anyone and everyone who wants to go to VARANASI (INDIA) . Jio is by far the perfect hosts for anyone who comes there ,and he will make sure to make your stay as convenient and delightful. He invited all his guests to his brother's wedding .If you are a tourist, don't go to India. If you are a traveler, it is one of the most beautiful experiences with wonderful people.

    Cozy guesthouse with 4 rooms in a family house ideally located near Assi Ghat. The room was pretty small, but was clean and quiet at night. The family lives on the first floor, a small communal space on the ground floor has two tables and a sofa. It's a nice spot to meet other guests and Sona, the host, will serve you her homemade fresh food here. We enjoyed our stay very much! Thank you Sona!
