FabExpress Namaste Kashi - Dasaswamedh Ghat
The hotel is a bit off the beaten path and located a short distance from restaurants, but it's still convenient to reach major attractions via local transit. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained—nothing fancy, but definitely satisfactory for a budget stay. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our visit. Breakfast offered a Western-style option, though the selection was limited to just fruits—mainly bananas and apples—which were plentiful but not varied. Still, it worked well for us as we were looking for something simple and fresh. Overall, the hotel delivers good value for money, especially if you're prioritizing peace and quiet over being in the heart of the city.
FabHotel Prime Sarin Inn Heritage
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Varanasi! Check-in was quick and hassle-free, and the location is perfect for exploring the city—just a short walk from major attractions. The dinner was absolutely delicious, with rich flavors that really stood out. Breakfast was decent but a bit disappointing due to the strong garlic flavor in some dishes. However, there’s a great play area for kids, which made it convenient for families. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly throughout our visit—always ready to assist. One small downside: no complimentary water bottles were provided, so we had to purchase them separately. Still, the overall experience was fantastic, and I’d definitely recommend this place for a comfortable, welcoming stay.
FabHotel Deepak Palace - Assi Ghat
Staying at FabHotel Deepak Palace near Assi Ghat was an absolute delight. The rooms are quiet and well-furnished, offering a peaceful retreat after a busy day exploring Varanasi. The staff went above and beyond—they helped me secure medicine I needed without any hassle, which was incredibly thoughtful. The room service thali was delicious, well-prepared, and priced fairly—excellent value for the quality. After returning from the Kumbh Mela, it felt like a luxury to step into a clean, warm room with hot water, fresh towels, and a comfortable bed. Walking distance to the Ganges and nearby restaurants made it easy to enjoy local cuisine and soak in the spiritual atmosphere. This place truly delivers comfort and hospitality at its best—highly recommended for travelers seeking authenticity and ease.
Fabhotel Super 3 Premium
My stay at Fabhotel Super 3 Premium in Varanasi was extremely disappointing. The hotel was far dirtier than the photos suggested—there’s a major mismatch between what’s advertised and reality. To make things worse, they double-booked my room despite me paying in advance, leaving me without accommodation for a night. There’s no kitchen or restaurant on-site, and when I asked for towels, they didn’t have any until I escalated to customer service. The night receptionist was unfriendly and unhelpful. The location is also quite far from the main attractions, making it inconvenient to explore the city. Overall, this was by far the worst experience I’ve had with any Fabhotel property. I wouldn’t recommend booking here through the platform—poor service, lack of basic amenities, and a very poor value for money.
FabHotel East View
Located just a short walk from the ghats, this hotel offers great convenience for exploring the area. The room is extremely small—barely enough space to move around—but the property itself is clean and secure. While I'm not entirely sure about the regularity of housekeeping or sheet changes, the overall cleanliness gives peace of mind. It’s a solid choice if you're looking for a budget-friendly stay with easy access to key attractions, especially for travelers on a tight schedule.
Square Inn
Staying at Square Inn in Varanasi was an absolutely delightful experience. The room was spotlessly clean and well-maintained, with just enough space for a comfortable night’s rest. The staff were incredibly polite and welcoming—especially Ms. Mahima, who was cheerful, helpful, and always ready to assist with any request. Her positive attitude really made the stay more enjoyable. The location is excellent—right in the heart of the city, steps away from major attractions and local eateries. I loved how quiet and peaceful the inn felt while still being close to everything. It’s rare to find such a cozy, well-run place with such great value. I’d definitely recommend this gem to anyone visiting Varanasi.
Hotel Sjr
This property is not worth being listed on any platform. The room descriptions are completely misleading—every single room is designated as smoking only, yet there’s no clear indication during booking, so you might accidentally end up with a smoking room thinking it’s non-smoking. To make matters worse, basic amenities like drinking water and towels in the bathroom were missing upon arrival. I reached out to the platform regarding these issues, and they did offer some compensation, but that doesn’t fix the poor experience. If you’re considering this hotel just because the price seems competitive, please think twice. There are far better options out there. You’ll thank me later for steering you away from this one. Don’t waste your time or money—this place simply doesn’t deliver.
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.
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.
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.
