Bhadra Kali Guest House
I arrived in Varanasi early in the morning, and a friendly staff member met me at the taxi stand on the main road, carrying my backpack and guiding me straight to Bhadra Kali Guest House. They offered me a warm cup of tea and let me store my luggage while waiting for my room to be ready. The guest house is incredibly easy to find—it’s just steps away from where the nightly Ganga Aarti takes place. But even better, it has a secondary entrance directly from the ghat via a steep staircase, so you’re never lost. From the rooftop terrace, the view of the Ganges is absolutely stunning. I enjoyed breakfast each morning protected by a metal grate that kept the cheeky monkeys at bay—breakfast could be brought to my room or served right on the terrace, depending on my mood. The room was simple but comfortable, perfect for the standards of Varanasi. It’s a fantastic value stay, quietly located yet central to all the magic of the city.

Just a short walk from both Banaras Hindu University and the sacred Kashi Vishwanath corridor, it’s perfectly positioned to experience the city’s spiritual heartbeat. The rooms are clean, cozy, and well-maintained—simple but welcoming. What really stands out is the genuine warmth and personal touch from the owner, who happens to be my former classmate from the Institute of Agricultural Sciences at BHU.

The location is fantastic—just a short walk from the ghats and close to several temples, making it perfect for exploring the spiritual heart of the city. Even though the streets around the hotel are narrow, everything feels safe and clean, which gave me peace of mind throughout my stay. The staff were incredibly helpful and professional, always ready to assist with local tips or directions. What really stood out was the value for money—the price is very reasonable without compromising on comfort or cleanliness. The only minor note is that you need to walk a short distance from the drop-off point to the hotel entrance, but it’s just a couple of minutes’ stroll, so not a big issue. Overall, this place offers an authentic, budget-friendly stay with great convenience and charm. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting Varanasi.

The room was spacious and comfortable, with a large, clean bed and a bathroom that had hot water—perfect even during the intense heat. Its strategic location made exploring Varanasi so easy; just a short walk to the Ganges River where you can witness the mesmerizing evening 'Ganga Aarti' ceremony.
