Vagabond Stay Hostel Varanasi

Hostel

🫤 I stayed three nights at Vagabond in Varanasi. The rooms were okay, nothing special but do their purpose. The facilities offer a restaurant and a rooftop.

Good Vibes hostel

Hostel

🫤 Unfortunately I was quite disappointed with this place. First of all they advertised a rooftop terrace and restaurant… however during my stay it was under refurbishment so couldn’t take an advantage of none of these two. I think they should inform guests about that in advanced. Second thing - clean...

Backpackers Park, Varanasi - Hotel In Varanasi
