Very clean, nice facilities. Food available. But the best thing was how kind and attentive the staff were. Our favourite hotel during our month in India Location is in Sarnath which is worth a visit for sure. It's a bit quieter and we really appreciated being able to get out of the chaos and relax after a day in the city.

I truly loved the hospitality of this place. The hotel is practical, well-organized, and comfortable. The hot water works perfectly, the Wi-Fi is excellent, and the breakfast on the rooftop is a wonderful way to start the day. The location is ideal—just a short walk to Assi Ghat, where the morning and evening Aarti ceremonies take place. Sourav, the owner, is an exceptional guide who really opened up the essence of Varanasi for me. We began with a street-food walking tour as a group of four, visiting amazing spots and trying a wide variety of delicious and safe local foods. The next day, we explored hidden temples, which led us into the very heart of ancient Varanasi and its deeply mystical places. In summary, it was the warmth, hospitality, and shared knowledge that made my experience in Varanasi truly unforgettable. Most importantly, if you plan to take walking tours in Varanasi, choose Sourav—you will not regret it.

Very close to the ghats and central areas, comfortable, clean room, and a very helpful host. My most comfortable and clean stay so far in India. The host was really helpful ensuring I would get to the airport without any problems, walking me to a tuk-tuk instructing the driver where a cab would pick me up, and calling the cab to make sure I was picked up. I also arrived early in the morning at got a room right away as there was already a one availeble (actually with a free upgrade). Nice gestures all the way.

Staying at Sona's guest house was a lovely experience. She is a great host - she helped us get an Indian SIM card, organised a sunrise boat tour for us, got a load of laundry ready for us in 24 hours and gave us the most amazing and entertaining cooking class. She and her family took very good care of us and made sure we were safe and happy at all times. The room was simple and clean and the location is very convenient, just a short walk away from Assi Ghat and close to many restaurants and amenities. If you're looking for simple, no-frills accommodation in Varanasi with thoughtful hosts and lots of extra services available, this is the right place for you.

Reasonable and worth every penny! I recently had the pleasure of staying at Ajnara and I must say, it was an exceptional experience! This spacious Homestay is perfect for large families, groups of friends, or even corporate retreats. It comes with multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas. The kitchen is fully stocked, making it easy to prepare meals for a crowd. The location is also ideal, with plenty of parking space and easy access to public transportation. It's a true gem that feels like a home away from home!
