    Good location, very closed to Assi Ghat. The restaurant is nice. Staff are very helpful.

    Excellent position, near the Assi Ghat. You can avoid the busy streets of Varanasi and do the fast and beautiful “Ghat walk” to go wherever you want. The restaurant is cheap but makes clean and good dishes

    We stayed in a private room at it was perfect! Big room and very comfortable bed! The hostel is just a short walk from assi ghat, but far away enough to be nice and quiet. The staff is very friendly and helpful!
