    Stay only if u need to be on the Ghat with gangs views. It’s a pretty old property. Best for backpackers. For families, there are several options at the same price. The entrance to the property would repel anyone. Should maintain and not allow stress passers. Also, there is construction work going on now. Please be prepared for the music.

    Good location the the Assi Ghat. The manager was great. Wonderful views of ganga.

    This didn't bother us but it's worth being aware that the morning Aarti ceremony will probably wake you up between 5 and 6AM. That being said, they are a really special experience and everyone in Varanasi generally starts their day very early.

    The guest house is in a brilliant location near Assi Ghat (one of the largest and most popular ghats in Varanasi), making it very easy to watch the morning and evening Aarti ceremonies. We were so well looked after by Jitendra and Shikha who amongst other things helped us book a sunrise boat ride, airport travel and prepared delicious home cooked meals throughout our stay. We were so pleased and the food was genuinely some of the best we've had in North India.

    no complaints

    This is one of the best budget hotels I've stayed in, I would stay there again in a heartbeat. Don't let the scruffy outside fool you, once you get inside it's a charming and peaceful little sanctuary. The staff is super nice and helpful, I felt at home right away. And the location is great too, right by Assi Ghat. I ate at the rooftop restaurant a couple of times and the food was really good. It's basically home-made food that one of the ladies cooks fresh when you order it, nothing is pre-made. I paid a few dollars extra to have a room with a balcony, and I ended up in room 11, which is probably one of their best, with a view onto the river. It's quite spacious, and bright and airy. The only downside to having a front-facing room is that it can get a bit noisy from the street and river-front activities, but it didn't bother me much. Highly recommended!

    There was no bottled drinking water provided in the room. I asked for refill and I was obliged. Being right at the ghat ,you can hear the loudspeakers and honking from the parking below. Room itself is value for money however there are couple of steps to climb, hence may be a not very ideal if there is an elderly guest and if plan is to stay for longer duration. Other than that hotel is really good , hosts are non intrusive (believe they live at the property) . I will definitely stay again when visiting Varanasi.

    Very good location. Right at the Assi Ghat with Ganga view. Hotel is very clean and has a homely feel. They also have kitchen and one can order food in advance. I didn't try though as only stayed for a day and wanted to explore local food.
