Staying at Sugar Stars Inn was an absolute delight from start to finish. The room was spotlessly clean and thoughtfully designed, offering exceptional value for the price. The staff went above and beyond to make our visit comfortable—friendly, responsive, and always willing to help. Location-wise, it's perfectly positioned for exploring Varanasi’s vibrant streets and spiritual landmarks, with easy access to public transport and local eateries.

Ratnakar Bhawan (Heritage Homestay)
The host and staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive—staying here felt genuinely safe and comfortable. We’d leave our keys at the front desk during the day while exploring the city, and every time we returned, the room was spotlessly clean and neatly made up. It’s clear they take pride in their hospitality. The location is excellent—just a short walk from the metro and right near the Ganges River, making it super easy to catch the morning rituals or explore nearby temples. What stood out most was the homely atmosphere—it felt less like a hotel and more like staying with a kind local family. Every detail, from the warm smiles to the thoughtful touches, made the experience unforgettable. I already know I’ll be coming back here on my next visit to Varanasi. Truly one of the best stays I’ve had in India.

Hotel Temple on Ganges
This was hands down the best stay of my entire trip to India. The Hotel Temple on Ganges offers spacious, impeccably clean rooms that make you feel truly at home. But what truly sets it apart is the view from the rooftop—direct sightlines to the sacred Ganges River. Waking up to that serene, flowing river in the morning and watching the evening rituals unfold from your balcony was nothing short of magical. The location is also super convenient, just a short walk or quick local transit ride away from major attractions. It’s rare to find such a peaceful, authentic experience with such excellent value. If you’re visiting Varanasi, this hotel should be your top choice—truly unforgettable.

Staying at Ishan Paying Guest House was an absolute delight. The host and his family went above and beyond to make us feel welcome—warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive throughout our visit. The room was clean, comfortable, and perfectly located just a short walk from Assi Ghat, yet tucked away in a peaceful part of the city, offering a nice balance between convenience and quiet. What stood out most was the delicious homemade tea served each morning—it added such a cozy touch to our stay. It’s rare to find such hospitality combined with great value, and this place truly delivers. If you’re visiting Varanasi, don’t miss this gem—it’s more than just a place to sleep; it feels like coming home.
Hotel Shivoy Grand
The hotel's location was excellent—most tourist attractions were within a 0.5 to 4 km radius, making it super convenient to explore on foot or by local transport. It’s just steps away from a lively market, perfect for grabbing snacks or souvenirs. The rooms were spotless and well-maintained, with a clean, calming vibe. Staff were friendly and attentive, always ready to help. Overall, this was a fantastic stay with great value and a welcoming atmosphere—I’d definitely return.
Hotel Aadesh Palace
Staying at Hotel Aadesh Palace was an absolute delight. Located just a short walk from Gate No. 4 of the Kashi Vishvanath Temple, it’s perfectly positioned for spiritual travelers and sightseers alike. While vehicles can’t go beyond 500 meters due to restricted access in the temple area, the walk is manageable and part of the experience—offering glimpses of authentic Varanasi life. The rooms were spotless, well-maintained, and incredibly comfortable, making for a restful night's sleep. What truly stood out was the staff—warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful. I especially want to thank the restaurant team (I’m sorry I didn’t catch your name!) for taking the time to explain local attractions and even helping me plan my sightseeing itinerary. Their guidance made my trip so much more meaningful. With excellent food, thoughtful service, and a peaceful atmosphere, this hotel offers great value and a memorable stay. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Varanasi.
Panchkote Raj Ganges
Staying at Panchkote Raj Ganges was an absolute delight. The room was peaceful and beautifully set within a quiet garden, with a private terrace overlooking the Ganges—waking up to that view was magical. The homestay has a warm, family-like atmosphere, and the hostess is incredibly charming and attentive. Breakfast was generous and varied, offering a delicious start to each day. Everything about this place feels thoughtfully curated—clean, serene, and full of character. I genuinely felt welcomed and relaxed from the moment I arrived. If I ever return to Varanasi, this will be my first choice. It’s truly a gem worth coming back to.
Golden River
Amazing hospitality! The room was spacious and spotlessly clean—perfect for a relaxing stay. Neeraj went above and beyond, even personally taking us on a short boat ride along the Ganges to witness a vibrant local celebration just a 2-minute walk from the guesthouse. We enjoyed our meals on the rooftop every evening—delicious food with breathtaking views of the river. It felt like being part of the moment, not just a tourist. Grateful for Neeraj and his team’s warmth and effort. This place truly stands out. If you're in Varanasi, don’t miss it!
The Century Plaza Hotel
Staying at The Century Plaza Hotel in Varanasi was a solid experience overall. The location is excellent—right in the heart of the city, making everything easily accessible by foot. The room was clean and well-equipped with all the basics you’d expect. However, there was a persistent sewer smell coming from the bathroom that required keeping the exhaust fan on for long periods—unfortunately, it’s quite noisy, which disrupted rest. This issue also affected my friends’ room during their stay, and neither room had windows, so ventilation was limited. I didn’t request daily cleaning as I picked up a stomach bug and needed to isolate myself for days. That said, the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating—they arranged early check-in and late checkout without hesitation, which made things much easier. The hotel has its own restaurant offering only vegetarian cuisine, perfect for those with dietary preferences. While not ideal for longer stays due to the ventilation and odor concerns, it’s a convenient and practical choice for a 2-3 night visit. I’d recommend this hotel for short trips, especially if you’re prioritizing location and service.
Indra Paying Guest House
I’ve stayed at Indra Paying Guest House every year since 2017 — it was always a welcoming, reliable place. But things have taken a sharp turn for the worse since new management took over in April. I’ve always paid monthly and gave them ample notice of my departure on June 18th. On the 17th, I paid for 18 days as usual — yet the new manager informed me the next day that I’d either need to pay for the full month or never return. That’s simply unreasonable. I’ll be staying elsewhere next year. I try to stay positive, but since the change, the place has truly gone downhill. They’ve spent money on renovations, but without proper service, it’s all been wasted. Daily water supply is unreliable — you often have to walk to their other property just to report a break. And when water does come, it’s thick with fine silt, leaving grey residue on clothes, hair, and floors. The air conditioning is a disaster: after the previous manager removed it, the new one installed a replacement that leaks heavily — sometimes flooding inside the room, sometimes spilling across the landing, making it dangerously slippery. Placing a bucket under the drip helps only temporarily; if not emptied regularly, it just floods again. Waste collection has dropped from daily to once or twice a week. In hot months like April, May, and June, overflowing bins became a real problem — I even had to carry two full ones downstairs myself, which then mysteriously disappeared. Ants, flies, and even rats showed up due to the heat and poor hygiene. The final blow came on my last day — paying 40% of the building’s monthly rent and still being treated this way? It’s hard to believe. I genuinely hope they re-evaluate everything. For now, I won’t be coming back.
The Triumph Hotel Banaras Station
The Triumph Hotel is an absolute gem in Varanasi. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality that made me feel right at home. The room was spacious and beautifully designed, with a mattress so comfortable I fell asleep like a king. The staff went above and beyond—especially the male team, whose kindness and smiles genuinely brightened my day. Breakfast was a highlight: perfectly cooked omelettes and a buffet full of fresh, delicious options. Every detail felt thoughtfully curated. I left feeling refreshed and already planning my next visit. This is more than a stay—it’s an experience.
