Pros:

Close to Assi Ghat, a very lively location to daily Aarti and a boat ride. Also lots of street food nearby.
Rajkumar was dedicated to make us have the best time in Varanasi. Recommended the best restaurant and made sure we got the best rate for a tuktuk ride. He also prepared hot fresh breakfast every morning.
Navi and his elder brother were very friendly. Our kids love it here. A real Varanasi experience.

Pros:

We had a very pleasant stay. This is a family-run guesthouse managed by the brothers Krishna and Naveen, who are thoughtful and attentive hosts. They were always ready to help with anything we needed.

The location worked perfectly for us, as it is close to Assi Ghat while being away from the narrow, crowded streets.

We truly felt at home here. We especially enjoyed the great conversations and cultural exchanges we shared on the rooftop. Thank you for making our stay in Varanasi so memorable!
