    Good value for a very reasonable price. Situated In the heart of Varanasi In an old charming House. The sisters that run the place are excellent hosts and very helpfull, so it felt like staying In a private home more than a lodge. They are keepning the rooms and toilets very neat and clean. Rooms are simple but good. The temple next door will give you a first hand experience with hindu spirituality (bhakthi) In the morning where people line up for the temple. Read less
