New Hotel Broadway
Staying at New Hotel Broadway was one of the best experiences I’ve had in Varanasi. The hotel is incredibly clean, well-maintained, and located just steps away from major attractions—perfect for exploring the city on foot. The staff went above and beyond with their warmth and helpfulness; every interaction felt genuine and welcoming. From check-in to checkout, they made me feel at home. The value for money is outstanding—luxury amenities at a budget-friendly price. I’d highly recommend this gem to any traveler looking for comfort, convenience, and kindness in Varanasi.
Hotel Uday Palace
The booking process was extremely confusing and frustrating. I initially booked with a pay-at-property option, but later received a QR code asking for payment instead—there was no clear explanation or consistency. To make matters worse, my reservation was canceled by the hotel without any prior notice. Being left stranded at the last minute is incredibly stressful and unprofessional. The entire experience felt disorganized and unreliable. I wouldn’t recommend staying here under any circumstances. Save your time and avoid this place.
Somit Paying Guest House
Staying at Somit Paying Guest House in Varanasi was an absolute delight. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed like family—warm, genuine, and full of kindness. The location is perfect: quiet yet close enough to explore the city’s spiritual heart, with easy access to the Ganges riverfront. The meals were delicious and authentic, offering a true taste of local cuisine. What stood out most was the peaceful atmosphere and the sense of calm that surrounds the place. I fell in love with Varanasi all over again, and I’m already planning my return—not just to visit, but to stay here once more. Grateful for such a memorable experience!
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.
Sandhya Guest House Varanasi Near Ganga River
I stayed at Sandhya Guest House for a month while studying in Varanasi, and it quickly became my home away from home. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome and genuinely cared for. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained—perfect for long-term stays. The rooftop terrace is one of the highlights; from the upper level, you can enjoy peaceful views of the Ganges River, especially beautiful during sunrise. The location is ideal—close to major landmarks, yet quiet enough to relax. The meals are delicious, affordable, and served with care. Everything about this guesthouse feels authentic and thoughtfully done. If you're looking for a warm, welcoming, and convenient place to stay in Varanasi, this is absolutely the place to choose.
Kashi Annapurna Guest House
My brother and I planned this trip together, and staying at Kashi Annapurna Guest House turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the temple and surrounded by everything we needed. The room was spotless, and the staff went above and beyond to help us with local tips, directions, and even arranging our morning visit to the shrine. Their kindness and genuine hospitality made us feel right at home. Everything about this stay was perfect—from the peaceful atmosphere to the warm welcome. If you're looking for a quiet, authentic experience in Varanasi with great value and excellent service, this place is a must-visit. We couldn’t have asked for more.
Sri Yoga Mandir
We arrived at the property at 6 a.m. after spending the entire night at the airport without any sleep, and to our surprise, our room was already ready. The spacious rooms were incredibly comfortable, making it easy to unwind right away. The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. I highly recommend the yoga session with the ashram’s master instructor. It was a deeply calming and transformative experience, perfectly aligning with the peaceful atmosphere of the place. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. This stay wasn’t just about comfort—it felt like a rejuvenating retreat. A must-visit for anyone seeking serenity and authenticity in 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.
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.
