I really liked the place. It's situated in a cozy area called Sarnath a bit outside of the hustle and bustle of Varanasi's city center. I really had a good time here, was able to do Yoga every day on the huge terrace and really fell in love with the place. The owners made me feel like at home here and they're really helpful and generous with the guests coming here. It's the perfect place if you want to escape the loud, crowded and demanding city center. Also, the food you can order directly at the hostel is sooo delicious for a very good price. All in all, a wonderful experience here.

It is a new hostel and not very crowded, there is no vibe but I don’t mind that because I enjoy my quiet time and want to have a good sleep. There is AC and fan in the room. Staff are very helpful and present all the time. There is a small outdoor common area, quite cute. Towel is provided.

Nestled in the heart of the city, this homestay allowed us to conveniently explore the vibrant streets of Varanasi. Being located centrally we could easily walk down to all the near by sight seeing places like Sankat Mochan Hanuman, assi ghat, & Durga kund. Amitji our gracious host went beyond to make our stay comfortable. He reached out to usto guide us about booking for Alakhnanda cruise & attending Mangla aarti. His Warmth & Humility stood out, as he genuinely invested in making our visit memorable. The room was spacious, cleaned & well maintained. Despite having Indian style toilet, he kindly made adjustments for us to suit our needs, displaying his genuine hospitality. The Highlight of our stay was visiting their family shop business to buy Banarasi sarees where Amitji s' father showcased an exquisite collection of sarees. With his expertise he introduced us to the rich variety & heritage behind each saree & the pieces we choose were delivered seamless via courier. We are deeply grateful for the memories created & look forward to visiting again.

From

Subah-e-Banaras really lives up to its name — peaceful and full of positive energy. The rooms are modern yet warm, with beautiful interiors and thoughtful touches. The terrace was our favorite spot for evening tea and sunrise meditation. It’s in a calm VIP colony but still just a few minutes’ drive from the main temples. We felt completely safe and well taken care of by the caretaker. Perfect for those looking for comfort and calm in Varanasi.

I had a wonderful stay at Sair hostel! It's a very new hostel, so don't let the small number of reviews scare you off. It's a small hostel, which is good, a warmer atmosphere, you can meet other people. And the staff is amazing and they're trying to create a friendly social atmosphere, more like a community thing, where you do things together. The hostel itself is nice, freshly renovated, very clean and tidy, the dorms have everything you need. And the location is great, near Assi ghat! Plus there's a very cute rooftop area, where you can chill or hang out with others. Would recommend this hostel to anyone, especially solo travellers! :)
