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.
Hotel the Legacy
This hotel truly exceeded my expectations! From the moment I arrived, everything felt luxurious and well-maintained. The building itself is stunning, with a beautiful blend of traditional and modern design. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful—always smiling, quick to assist, and genuinely attentive. I especially appreciated the free parking, which was convenient and secure. Housekeeping was top-notch; rooms were spotless and refreshed daily. Elevators made access easy, and the overall cleanliness of the property was impressive. It’s clear that attention to detail is a priority here. For such a high standard of comfort, service, and cleanliness at this price point, it’s an absolute gem. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.
Moustache Varanasi
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. He added so much warmth and charm to the stay. The vibe is cozy, authentic, and welcoming—perfect for solo travelers looking for a meaningful connection with the city and its people. This place feels like home, and I’ll definitely be returning.
Bedzzz Varanasi by Leisure Hotels, 1 Km from Dashwasamedh Ghat
Staying at Bedzzz Varanasi by Leisure Hotels was a delightful experience overall. Located on a busy street, it’s incredibly convenient for transportation—just a short walk from Dashwasamedh Ghat and easily accessible by local transit or auto-rickshaws. The only minor downside is that the exact location can be tricky to find at first glance, so a bit of extra attention is needed when navigating the area. However, once you’re there, you’ll appreciate the peaceful atmosphere tucked away in the midst of the city buzz. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, offering warm guidance throughout check-in and beyond. Clean rooms, comfortable beds, and excellent value for money made this stay truly memorable. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting Varanasi.
De Costa Palace
My stay at De Costa Palace was absolutely fantastic. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to help me reach my next destination—truly a highlight of the trip. The hotel was spotlessly clean, with attention to detail that made the room feel fresh and welcoming. Located in a prime area, it’s super convenient for getting to both Vishwanath Temple and the railway station, whether by auto-rickshaw or taxi. I appreciated how easy it was to navigate around the city from here. This place truly delivers on comfort, cleanliness, and hospitality—definitely one of the best stays I’ve had in Varanasi.
Gostops Lite Varanasi
As a solo traveler who’s visited many parts of India, I can confidently say this hostel is an excellent choice for your next stay. The staff goes above and beyond to help with anything you need—friendly, responsive, and genuinely welcoming. The room was clean, comfortable, and the air conditioning worked perfectly throughout my visit. What stood out most was the daily bathroom cleaning by the team—really appreciated that attention to detail. I ended up eating all my meals here because the food was so delicious and satisfying. Even better, the app makes ordering food and drinks super easy, and it even lets you unlock your room door remotely—such a convenient touch. I’ve already booked stays at other locations under the same brand in Rishikesh and Jaipur, hoping they’ll live up to the high standard set here in Varanasi. This place truly delivers on comfort, service, and value—highly recommend for any traveler looking for a stress-free, well-run experience.
HosteLaVie - Varanasi
Staying at this hostel felt like discovering a hidden gem tucked away in a quiet corner of Varanasi. The property itself has a unique charm, with beautiful architecture and thoughtful design that makes you feel right at home. The room was spotlessly clean, and the common areas were inviting—perfect for relaxing or meeting fellow travelers. The staff went above and beyond with their friendliness and helpfulness, always ready to assist with tips or recommendations. I especially appreciated the practical amenities like the washing machine and dryer, which made managing laundry during my longer stay so much easier. It’s not just convenient—it’s a comfortable, well-maintained space that truly enhances your travel experience. If you're looking for a peaceful, authentic stay in Varanasi without sacrificing comfort or convenience, this is definitely one to consider.
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.
