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.

Azure Family Paying Guest House

Varanasi

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.

I had a wonderful experience staying at Hotel Shri Shiva Homestay during my visit to Varanasi. The rooms were neat, clean, and well-maintained, with all the basic amenities provided. The location is perfect — peaceful yet close to all major attractions like the Ghat and Kashi Vishwanath Temple. What truly made my stay memorable was the warm hospitality of the host and staff. They were always ready to help, whether it was arranging transport, guiding me for local sightseeing, or even suggesting good places to eat. It felt like a home away from home. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Varanasi — solo travelers, families, or couples. Great value for money and a very positive experience overall!
