Pros:

Banarash guest house.The location is unbeatable. It is situated just a few minutes' walk from Assi Ghat, making it easy to catch the morning Subah-e-Banaras or take a boat ride without the hassle of long commutes. It’s nestled in a spot that is central yet peaceful enough to escape the main street noise. on For the price, this is a fantastic deal. It offers the comfort of a hotel with the warmth of a homestay. You won't find many places in this price bracket that provide such a clean and welcoming atmosphere.

Cons:

Nothing

Varanasi asequible
Pros:

- Está céntrico.
- Te ofrecen botellas de agua aunque van a coste del consumidor y uno se da cuenta al final de la estancia.
- El desayuno es yogur con muesli y fruta y un chai.
- Ofrecen tours de barco por el ganges con barquito privado y está bastante bien. Ofrecen también transporte para el aeropuerto.
- El personal es muy agradable.
- Hay opciones de obtener habitación con AC por un pequeño coste diario adicional.
- Las camas eran cómodas

Cons:

- El hotel es un poco difícil de encontrar.
- La habitación doble económica es un zulo sin aire acondicionado y apenas sitio para dejar dos mochilas de 50L. A parte de eso, es ruidosa.
- La limpieza sel baño dejaba bastante que desear. El espejo y el apoya jabón no se había limpiado en varias estancias en ambas habitaciones.
- Deberían cuidar más del estado de la terraza. Tienen sillas rotas y dos mesas nada más.
