Ms. Sona was always very nice and kind with me, but an Indian friend was with me when I checked in and he told me Ms. Sona was rude to him because we asked if he could use the room for 2 mins to change his clothes :(

The food I had here is the most delicious I had during 2 months traveling around India! The location is great, very close to Assi Ghat. The rooms are clean, comfortable and they have all you need for a pleasant stay. Staying with a family is part of the experience, which I enjoyed a lot. Thank you!

My room had AC (a big plus) but no window.

The house is well located and clean. We felt really good with Sona ji and her family! She cooks breakfast on demand and it is delicious ! She offers the best advices to visit Varanasi and helped us get an indian SIM card too.

Nothing!

Sona and her family were very welcoming and willing to help. We were given a map of Varanasi to help navigate which was a nice touch. Great cooking class also available. Really good location. Our favourite place to stay after travelling to a lot of places in the North of India this month!!! :)

It was a pleasure to stay in Azure Family. Sona and her Family were very hospital, we could learn a lot about their culture. The location is also near to the Assi ghat. The food that Sona cooked was amazing and always fresh. So we really loved to stay in her apartment!:)

Sona has been very helpfull, accomplished all our requests/needs, organised the transport from/to the airport, suggested me the tour guide - her brother, organised the morning private boat tour, changed money, provided me with a kettle, water... everything really was brilliant! Didn't have the chance to try any food. The room was ok and clean, quiet during the night. Hot water, air conditioner, towels. The position is great, just 5mins walking distance to Assi Ghat. Would really recommend it!

Sona, is so nice, cute and lovely. The cooking lesson was perfect we learned to cook chipotle :) We felt like at home:)

It's a safe, clean, lovely little guest house and Sona makes the stay in Varanasi so easy - she cooks indian and western dishes, she can offer you a boatride, trip around the city or transfer from and to the airport, as well as yoga/cooking/music classes. Rooms are tiny but comfortable.

Nothing I could think of.

Just a short walk to the Assi Ghat, yet surprisingly quiet neighbourhood. The small house is very clean and so are the rooms. Nice contact with the owners - Sona and her family are the perfect hosts. I made a Ganga boat trip at sunrise and it is truly worth the early wake up. Also took a trip to Sarnath. All the trips and the airport pick up or drop-off can be booked through the gust house. My personal highlight was the cooking class with Sona. I cook every day for my family, even indian dishes. But there is still a lot I could learn from her. Thank you Sona!

My room had no windows. Which I found disappointing. After using the shower it did not dry easily..

This is indeed a homestay. Sona and her family share there home with the guests, which I found really nice.

Room didn’t have a window to the outside.

Really friendly staff, very homely. Nice, clean rooms. Quieter location for escaping the busier parts of town.

For your information If you can't climb stairs, don't choose this guest house. This has nothing to do with the guest house, for info only, you will not be able to get a motorbike or tuktuk with app Ola and Uber, the option is offered but nobody turns up, maybe because prices are way lower through the app, just saying...

I stayed in a double room with private bath, no A/C but ceiling fan is working perfectly. Room and bathroom are small but clean and comfortable. If you are a seasoned traveller like myself, you will appreciate this level of comfort in this part of the world at a reasonable price. Hotels in this price range lose against this guest house experience Sona was very helpful and available to provide advice and contacts to visit the city. Her cooking Is delicious! Another plus point Is her very good English (and her daughter too) which will make your life a lot easier. My advice is to use her contacts, their price Is fair and you spare yourself the hassle of bargaining, making phone calls with non-English speakers etc., not knowing with whom you'll end up.

Varanasi can be a bit chilly and humid in wintertime but nothing to complain regarding Azure Home stay.

I had a really nice stay in Azure. The owner gave me so many helpful tips to enjoy Varanasi as much as possible. The homestay is very near to everything and you can nicely walk to the gat and also to the centre. I really liked the welcoming family feeling in the homestay.

Lovely guest house with amazing food. Quiet and clean room. Sona and her family are very friendly, always happy to help with all you may need.

Sona is a perfect host, very kind and helpful. She is a great cook too! The place is very clean, in a calm neihgborhood (far enough to have silence, but 10min walk to assi haat). The wifi was good, and there was hot shower.

We liked everything.

We had an amazing time with Sona and her family. It was a real home from home and we are now sad to leave. They were so warm and welcoming and you would be lucky to stay here during your time in Varanasi. Also, Sona’s cooking is delicious.

Sona is a great host and let us in late as our train was delayed by 13 hours so we were tired and stressed. Great breakfast especially the chai. Great cookery course and lovely family run. Sona is so friendly!

I had the pleasure of staying in Varanasi at Azure Guest house and it was truly a delightful experience. The location was perfect, situated in a quiet neighbourhood, which allowed easy access to cafes, restaurants and the river. The room with en-suite bathroom provided a comfortable and cozy retreat after a day of exploring the city. Sona is an exceptional hostess who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. Her warm hospitality and attention to detail were evident from the moment we arrived. Communication with her was seamless, and she was always ready to offer helpful tips. The room was very clean and well-maintained and also thoughtfully decorated, creating a homey atmosphere. Azure Guest house is a fantastic choice for those looking for a comfortable, well-situated accomodation with a host who truly cares about their guests' experience.
