"Nice hotel - we were there during a busy holiday so price was no doubt a bit higher but good location, walkable to many areas and the river. Staff was really nice. Room was clean. Only slight downsides were the sandals in the room were clearly used but they provided daily paper slippers. Also, bathroom design is a bit funny where you walk through the shower area to get to the toilet and sink. Thus, after a shower, you have to walk through a wet floor and also the sink/toilet area gets wet. But,...

10/10 Excellent
Nice small hotel close to the temple and ghat of Manikarnika. Kashi Vishwanath temple is only approx 2 km from this hotel which means you can go by walk. Hotel has clean rooms and staff behaviour is very kind. Owners like Padam Chaudhary having international experience really make a difference into the field of hospitality. I highly suggest this property and the location.

The hotel is boutique styled. Submerged (not literally) in lanes and alleyways. Close to all activities. Staff are friendly and helpful. It is walkable to the Dash Ghat so a great plus. But due its unique location you have to use a lot map reading skills to good use in order to locate it. The room itself is clean, confortable and lush. A little let down story is by the powerless shower. The bucket and scoop method is in fact better suited. Adi the host is a most personable bloke on this earth....

I recently stayed here, and it was honestly such a lovely experience. The location is perfect, just a short walk from Dashashwamedh Ghat, which made everything so convenient. The place is very clean, hygienic, and well-maintained, especially considering the nominal price. What truly made our stay special was the warm hospitality of Ajit Yadav, who took care of everything and made us feel completely at home. We genuinely loved staying here and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting...

A neat, clean , small property which is well served by its helpful and smiling employees. The hotel is well priced. The Breakfast Buffet is reasonably good. The best thing is the ample parking it provides for owner driven cars/ Cabs which is a luxary in a densely populated city like Varanasi. I was happy with the experience.
