πŸ‘πŸ‘ Loved it! The owner is a classy and polite man with whom you can enjoy chatting. He's also been really accomodating and gave us good advice about the city and even exchanged some money at the market price (we appreciated this very much as we needed some dollars in order to pay the Nepali visa). Now...

    Loved it! The owner is a classy and polite man with whom you can enjoy chatting. He's also been really accomodating and gave us good advice about the city and even exchanged some money at the market price (we appreciated this very much as we needed some dollars in order to pay the Nepali visa). Now the structure: well maintained and very clean, with big rooms, powerful showers and in a super central area. Just out of it there is a path to the Ghats (1 min walking). Even though the prices of Varanasi are generally higher than in the rest of India, the structure offers a very good value for money and I strongly recommend to book here for your stay! Only downside: the internet is a bit slow, but like literally everywhere else in Varanasi, so nothing to do about it. As the owner said: put the telephone down and enjoy the moment :p.

  • 5/5 Kamal Deep S. 3 years ago on Google β€’ 26 reviews
    One of the best guest house with close access to banaras Ghats. Manager himself along with staff are very helpful and happy people. They have a Husky and a Pug. It's a treat for Dog lovers. All the amenities like Geyser, Breakfast in room are well taken care of. Very Reasonable price in peak season also. Plus if one is into Yoga. This guest house is next to Satyaloka ( Ashram of Shri Shivendu Lahiri ji) a famous Kriya Yogi.

    I rarely write reviews but this one deserves my attention..Varanasi has a lot going on so to find a convenient safe cosy clean place at a reasonable cost wirh excellent service can be a rare find... i was very happy at this place. Well worth it. Only thing not a place to meet other travellers but perfect place if looking to catch up on sleep and be near everything! Thank so so much for a lovely stay!

    Perfect location, very close to ghats, nearby to all cafes in the lanes. The manager Mr.Sanjiv is an excellent host and always ready to help you. In short, you will never be disappointed by the hospitality of this place. Rooms are clean and there is continuous hot water supply in the room.

    Very good experience of staying here. Nice price for nice room, very sincere and knowledgeable manager (superbπŸ‘) and helpful staff. They can introduce the boat riding for Ganga sunrise, 300rs/per head in 2016. Boatman is a 13-14 years old boy, very humble. I took another boat before this one, super bad experience (sexual harassment) and asked more money when finished the ride. So strongly suggest you to ask the manager if you want to take a boat for sunrise.

    Excellent service with a smile no task too small for manager Sanjeev to handle , great location close to ghats, temples and general amenities. Breakfast is served on the roof top with amazing views of the Ganga . Fantastic reviews and compliments from all over the world people come back again and again ... Thank you Shivakashi for a beautiful stay πŸ’Ÿ

    One of the best and accommodating guesthouses that we stayed in India. It felt like home, Sanjeev & the staff was very kind and helpful. The breakfast in the mornings on the rooftop with the view of the river was beautiful and delicious. This is the place to stay in Varanasi!

    Basic rooms with shared bathroom: Really bad wifi. The shared bathroom is just awful (no toilet paper provided - 30rupees on reception) - also if you want hot shower you need to walk down to the reception ground floor for it (?!?). Cheap. Good location for visiting the ghats. Easy to find - use satellite view. No elevator if you have heavy luggage but the staff is helping you ONLY on the check-in :)

πŸ‘πŸ‘ The rooms are quite spacious and the toilets were very clean. The cost is reasonable. The beds are really comfy and they also provide you with a mattress if you want but will cost extra. Overall a very nice place to stay
