Sada Shiv Guest House ,3 Star Hotel Near Kashi Vishwanath Temple and Dashashwamedh Ghat with Parking
Staying at Sada Shiv Guest House in Varanasi was one of the highlights of my trip. Nestled just a short walk from the Kashi Vishwanath Temple and the Dashashwamedh Ghat, it offers an unbeatable location—close to all the spiritual and cultural heartbeats of the city without being overwhelmed by the usual urban noise. I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet and peaceful the area is, especially given how central it is. The rooms are clean, well-maintained, and comfortable, with modern amenities that make long stays enjoyable. Plus, having free parking on-site is a real plus for travelers driving through. The staff went above and beyond—friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist with local tips or arrangements. It’s rare to find such warmth and attention to detail in a budget-friendly place. If you're looking for a genuine Varanasi experience with comfort and calm, this is the perfect home base. I’ll definitely be coming back.
Live Free Hostel Varanasi
Everything was perfect! Amberi greeted us early in the morning around 10:30, even though check-in wasn’t until 1 PM. We were able to use the shared bathroom, shower, and common area with free Wi-Fi right away—perfect for settling in or working remotely. The food here is excellent—fresh, tasty, and well-prepared. I especially loved eating outdoors in the courtyard; it’s such a peaceful and welcoming space. The room was spotless, and the location couldn’t be better—just steps away from major sights, easy to reach by local transport. The staff are genuinely friendly and always smiling, making the whole experience feel warm and personal. This place offers incredible value for money, and I’d absolutely stay here again without hesitation.
Marigold Guest House
I was truly impressed by the cleanliness of this place—something I was honestly most concerned about. 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. Sonu, the owner, was incredibly welcoming and helpful—he shared all the essential tips to make the most of my stay. And one highlight: daily morning yoga sessions! As a first-timer, I appreciated his patience and gentle guidance. This experience exceeded all expectations. A truly memorable stay in a warm, authentic atmosphere.
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.
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.
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.
KS Paying Guest House
Staying at KS Paying Guest House in Varanasi was an absolute delight. The staff went above and beyond to make our experience memorable—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with recommendations or local tips. The owner’s cooking stood out: authentic, delicious, and made with care. Waking up to the serene view of the Ganges River was pure magic, especially during sunrise. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. What truly impressed us was the genuine warmth and hospitality that made us feel like family. This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a home away from home. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Varanasi who wants a peaceful, authentic, and unforgettable stay.
