Shiva Ganges View Guest House
Staying at Shiva Ganges View Guest House was an absolute highlight of my trip to Varanasi. Located right above the Mansarovar Ghats, it’s much quieter than other nearby ghats—perfect for a peaceful retreat. I highly recommend booking a room on the second floor for the best views of the Ganges and sunrise over the river; waking up to that sight was unforgettable. The staff are genuinely warm and attentive—Vinod and Shyam made me feel right at home with their friendly smiles and helpful guidance. There’s also Tandon, a kind elderly gentleman who welcomes guests with dignity from his cozy alcove, adding a personal touch that makes this place feel like family. It’s not just a stay—it’s an experience rooted in hospitality and serenity.
Hotel Banaras Palace
Staying at Hotel Banaras Palace was an absolute delight. The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk from Varanasi Railway Station, making travel around the city super convenient. The staff were incredibly polite and always greeted us with warm smiles—truly made us feel welcome. The food was exceptional, bursting with authentic local flavors that made every meal a memorable experience. What truly sets this hotel apart is its proximity to spiritual landmarks. The Kashi Vishwanath Temple is literally steps away, and there are so many other temples within walking distance—Sankat Mochan, Durga Temple, Birla Temple, Annapurna Temple, and even Sarnath for those interested in Buddhist heritage. It’s like having a spiritual journey right outside your door. Comfortable rooms, excellent service, and a peaceful atmosphere make this hotel a perfect choice for travelers seeking both comfort and cultural immersion. Highly recommend! While I used a booking platform to secure my stay, it was the hotel’s charm and hospitality that truly made the trip unforgettable.
Ganga Tourist Lodge
Absolutely loved my stay! The room was spotlessly clean and the bed was incredibly comfortable—perfect for a good night's rest. The staff was available 24/7, which made everything so convenient. Even though the main road outside is busy with constant traffic, the rooms are positioned inward, so noise levels were surprisingly low. I was really impressed by how quiet it was inside. The value for money was outstanding—great quality at a very reasonable price. I’d definitely choose this place again if I ever return to Varanasi.
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.
Goroomgo H.R. Guest House (Varanasi, UP)
My stay at HR Guest House was absolutely fantastic. Located just a short walk from the Kashi Vishwanath Temple and Dashashwamedh Ghat, I couldn’t have asked for a better spot to experience the spiritual heart of Varanasi. The moment I stepped in, I was welcomed by a clean, well-maintained space that felt peaceful and cozy—perfect after a day exploring the city’s rich culture and sacred sites. The staff went above and beyond with their warm hospitality, always ready to help with recommendations or simple needs. What stood out most was how affordable the rates were without sacrificing comfort or quality. The room was basic but spotless, and the amenities met all my expectations. It’s rare to find such a welcoming, hassle-free experience at this price point. If you’re visiting Varanasi and want to be right in the middle of everything while still enjoying a restful retreat, this guest house is an excellent choice. I’d highly recommend it to any traveler seeking authenticity, convenience, and great value.
Brown Bread Bakery Guest House
Staying at Brown Bread Bakery Guest House was such a highlight of our trip to Varanasi! We arranged a Ganges boat tour and walking exploration of the ghats through WhatsApp—super easy and well-organized. Our guide, Chunda, took us on a traditional rowboat ride along the river, which felt so much more authentic and peaceful compared to motorboats. Then we walked the ghats together, where he shared fascinating insights into the daily rituals and spiritual practices happening right before our eyes. The whole experience lasted about 2.5 hours and gave us a deep, respectful connection to the city’s soul. Thanks so much, Chunda, for your warmth, knowledge, and dedication—it truly made our visit unforgettable. I’d highly recommend this local experience to anyone visiting Varanasi.
