The location is perfect: just a short walk to the riverfront and bustling local markets, yet quiet enough for a peaceful night’s sleep.

I traveled solo to Varanasi, India, and stayed at Moustache Varanasi—truly one of the best experiences! The staff was incredibly kind and never pressured me for money like some other places do. No pushy taxis or guides trying to upsell services—just genuine hospitality. I especially loved Mani, the adorable hostel dog who greeted me with wagging tail every time I came back.

Banaras Paying Guest House
Staying at Banaras Paying Guest House was a truly memorable experience. The host, Krishna, is incredibly warm and welcoming—he reached out via WhatsApp a few days before my arrival to ask about my travel plans, arrival time, and whether I needed transportation help. His thoughtfulness made the whole trip stress-free. The rates are fantastic, and payment can be arranged later, which is super convenient. The rooms are modest but spotlessly clean, and the bathrooms are equally well-maintained—hygiene is clearly a top priority. If you need recommendations or assistance with bookings and tickets, Krishna is more than happy to help. I left with nothing but positive memories and an amazing sense of hospitality. This place feels like home, and I’d definitely come back.
Shiva Guest House
Staying at Shiva Guest House with a friend was an absolute highlight of our trip to Varanasi. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the bathrooms are spotless—great attention to detail. The rooftop view is breathtaking, offering a peaceful glimpse of the Ganges and the nearby temple complex, perfect for morning coffee or quiet reflection. The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming, smiling through our late arrival without any hesitation. The property faces a street leading directly to a sacred temple, so mornings can be lively with pilgrims and local activity—while it might affect sleep, it’s part of what makes this stay so authentic and immersive. Being right in the heart of tradition, culture, and daily life made our experience truly special. Highly recommend for travelers seeking genuine, heartfelt hospitality.
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.
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.
