A lovely oasis in the heart of Varanasi's bustling Ganges scene.
Pros:

This guesthouse is rated highly and I can see why. The location is amazing! Located directly on the Ganges, my room had a gorgeous view of the sunrise each morning and the rooftop restaurant is a lovely way to view sunrise, sunset, and evening aarti. It's a perfect oasis in the bustling scene of Varanasi. Super easy to access boat rides. The staff, particularly Dhiraj, were delightful.
