    Great location, very close to Ganga in Assi Ghat. Clean, comfortable, affordable, great hospitality - good level for a budget accommodation. Range of meals - Indian and European - available in downstairs restaurant. Staff helpful to resolve any issues and give advice on Varanasi.

    Only one big cold bright light in the room, wish there was a small warm light for reading & nice ambiance! The wall paint was peeling and overall the facilities were a bit shabby.

    Helpful and welcoming staff, great location. Room was clean, bed was quite comfy, Wi-Fi and hot water all the time, balcony and roof terrace were nice. Good restaurant downstairs (not open for breakfast time though).

    Shower had no hot water, and it was very loud at night bec of the proximity to Assi Ghat and its traffic. Bring earplugs!

    Rooftop room w a nice view and terrace, Dolly and Maneesh were very helpful and friendly, i felt safe there.

    Since I was travelling with my old parents they faced only one problem that was lift. Our room was on the top floor and there is no lift.

    The property is very clean and the staff is very helpful. It is near to Assi Ghat probably 5 mnts walking distance.

    The room was clean, very comfortable and spacious.The best part is, its hardly 5 min walking distance from Assi Ghat. The restaurant food had amazing taste. I would surely recommend this property if you want to stay near the famous Assi Ghat. It felt like a homestay with very nice staff.

    This guesthouse is run by a very hard-working, trustworthy and kind woman. She clearly cares about her guests and I would recommend staying here foremost, but not only, for this reason. Her staff are also like her. She can help you organise other activities around Varanasi and is very fair. The location, 5 minutes walk from Assi Ghat, was also very convenient. You can take a sunrise boat from Assi Ghat, as well as watch the Aaarti at dawn or dusk from there. Do note as this hotel is very conveniently located just behind Assi Ghat and on a busy street, you will hear the busy street sounds below you late into the night, although this did not bother us. The restaurant attached to the hotel was also top notch. There are also lots of other restaurants and cafes around.

    This place is literally very nearer to Assi ghat. We are very happy that our previous reservation in Another property got canceled and we ended up staying here. The owner of the property is so warm and helpful that you will feel this is home away from home. Every attraction is assi ghat is just 2-3 minutes away. They got a restaurant also which serves tasty food.
