    The hotel is located at the river bank of Ganga. It has an amazing view of the Ganga. The rooms are very comfortable. The service is also very nice. Homely experience. Also the food they serve here is great. I go here often for some peaceful time. Absolutely recommend it.

    Praveen is a proactive person he doesn't behave Iike he owns that place..and the staff is great..they will give you a feeling of home. The staff does not behave like a the typical hotel staff..you will feel like you are living in someone's house.. someone who is hospitable and a great host. Whenever I will visit Banaras I will checkin here.

    The view from the Hotel is marvelous, one of the reasons why i loved this place. Non AC rooms are avg, can be better. Hotel management is friendly and so are the helpers. (During Monsoon it's not possible to talk on the ghat and reach Main Vishwanath temple) Negatives: 5-6 min walk in very narrow lanes and slightly those roads are untidy. Slightly away from the city centre but between two important ghats.

    Very good location with terrasse beside de Ganga. Calm place after a noisy day in the streets. The room was ok for the price.... but windows are not hermetic.... so if it's cold and humid outside, expect to sleep fully clothed under the sheets! Staff is very nice.

    This rest house is situated at pandey ghat. This place is quite good the people who are searching a place for stay or party. With the mesmerising view of ghats the vibe of this place is quite positive and you can enjoy some snacks and other foods along with your friends or family here. Owner of this place is quite gentle and familiar but to reach this place you must be aware of lanes as it can be confusing sometime.

    Beautiful, simple, relaxing atmosphere. Prya the manager is very accommodating and Ajaykumar cooks the best breakfast. The view from the terrace will blow you away

  • 5/5 Veronica B. 1 year ago on Google
    I lived in Varanasi for a long time and often brought friends to stay here, but this was the first time I stayed here myself: I was impressed! It is a budget accommodation, but they have done the most basic upgrades to make the rooms feel comfortable and as clean as you can hope for at this price point. Not only do they have one of the best locations above Pandey Ghat and Ganga ji, but they have a fabulous amount of outdoor space and a living temple. Upstairs there is a slightly more private and clean terrace that is ideal for morning yoga. There's even enough space for up to10 mats depending on how you arrange them, in case a group of friends came who like to practice together. I was doing some remote work while here, as were several other guests, and the internet is reliable. The manager, Priya, is a consummate professional who made our stay as enjoyable as possible and Ajay bhaiya was always friendly and helpful. Getting there might be difficult for newcomers. Take an auto to Sonarpura or Madanpura, then walk in the gullies and ask people for Pandey Ghat. You'll walk through a passage way across from Nice Cafe, then all the way back, then left, past a wonderful tree and water buffalo pen; then you'll see the blue gate of Vishnu Rest House straight ahead, next to some stairs leading to Ganga ji. This place is a throw-back and I'd happily stay again.

  • 2/5 Indian F. 1 year ago on Google
    Full marks for only the location and food. There was only 1 room with attached balcony which had a great view of the River Ganges which I was able to book but it is definitely overpriced. Not worth the money you should spend for that room. The room were substandard and monkey menace is a daily pain to deal with.

    Really nice place with an amazing view from the terrace to the river, the hotel is located in a good position in the center. The kitchen serve really good Indian dishes as well as other good options and tasty breakfast. Highly recommended

    I recently stayed at the Vishnu Rest House for 5 days and had an amazing time. The hotel staff, particularly helper Ajay, was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. The view from the hotel was breathtaking and truly unforgettable. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Varanasi particular on the Ghat near to mother Ganga.

    I'm staying in this guest house since 2010, to me is like home. I love the staff, the view from the terrace, the simple and clean rooms. The prices of the rooms are affordable in a fast changing and more expensive Varanasi. A shanti guest house. I just love it! โ™ฅ๏ธ

    Highly recommended place. Especially staff is very good. Food prepared by Ajay bhaiya is yummy,proper home made food. Even in late night he cooks food for you. Ravi bhaiya is very helpful and sweet. Priya didi welcomes with the smile and arrange everything very nicely. You can see ganga Maiya ( river)from terrace It's near from all the ghats. I feel this place gives you proper feeling of staying in Banaras.
