    One of loveliest hostels I've stayed in. Super relaxed vibe, they have great little group trips out like local food tasting or boat trips. Really great location right by the river. We had a private room which was fantastic. No hot water but you probably won't need it in hot hot Varanasi. The chef... is amazing ! All the food was delicious.

    How cool is to stay in an old temple with a nice rooftop overlooking the Ganges? The staff was very friendly and helpful. Special cheers to Raj for his help and care when I was feeling sick! Just some remarks for the hostel: the toilets and showers could get more attention. Also, the rooms were difficult to ventilate, as all windows seem blocked.

    A fantastic hostel in the middle of old Varanasi, infact it's probably the best place to stay. Really clean, super tasty food and the staff are amazing - helpful and run street food trips, cooking classes and boat rides. The location is perfect, and the roof terrace just tops it all off - especially watching the sunset with the kites flying.

    It's REALLY Awesome Place, to chill out or hangout and of course for stay for backpackers. I can say, location is really great. The roof-top cafe have a breathe taking view. The place is clean, and very well set up to have fun. And the staff...they are friendly and especially the host - Sidd. It's indeed one of the best hostel for stay. Loved it!

    Fantastic customer service, owner is super helpful An friendly, gave us some good advice for our onwards travel. Other staff also very helpful. Good hostel accomodation with lockers provided (own padlock req.) free breakfast menu also good with 6 choices. Rooftop rest. offers great views of Ganges, with only 2min walk to river which makes it great for sunrise boat tours (which the hostel organise)

    Rooftop is really cool, good breakfast is served there daily. Other food i tried there is also very good. Good vibe and chats with other travellers. Dorms are very nice although i met a couple who paid for a private room and was a bit disappointed by the bathroom.

    Perfect place for travellers. Location was difficult to find. But hostel, room and bathroom was really clean. Staff was also polite and helpful. View from the roof top cafe was also amazing. One of the best place to stay not only for solo travelers but also for group travelers.

    As someone who has travelled all around India, I believe I can say this is one of the best hostels, if not the best, there is. I could say the dorms are good, which are, i could say the location is great, which is (right at the ghats, amazing location) but for me, the best part was the people. The staff is great, the owner is an awesome dude and the backpackers i met there gave me one of the best times i had in India. Stop looking, you found your hostel!!

😠 Very unsafe place. I made the booking in advance and payment was also done. As soon as i reached after 18 hours of travel, i was denied the room saying the specific room is blocked and not available. The staff was very rude. The room was not ready even by 2:30 for checkin time of 1:00 pm. The staff...
