A home complimenting the heaven that is Varanasi,- Hotel JSR Kedar
Pros:

Har Har Mahadev ,🙏

A home away from home  it was from Dec23 to Dec 26'2025 ...and   just

 a     few  steps   to the  ghats  dotting the sacred  banks  of the holy Mother Ganga. ..  the Magnificent Kedar Temple or  even  to the waiting boat  that  will bridge you to the famous temples. In Varanasi !. It is always what happens around the purpose of yourself
visit that makes a journey ever so memorable !Hotel staff was ever so co-operative .  . They suggested boatman Babu who took us by ferry,( private) to the Mahadev temple .. Babu  helped us reach it ..arranged lockers and a Brahmin to help us inside  and waited till we  returned  . Small concern makes a stay ever so blissful!.  I  was at Varanasi for a Bharatanatyam performance at the Shankaracharya Ghat and  the Ashram of His holiness  Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati who  is a prominent spiritual leader associated with Varanasi. It was heaven going to the waiting venue and returning to the Hotel ever so easily !

 The proximity of the Ashram and every other place .. especially waking up to  breathe in the Sacred river Ganga in the early serene mornings was a soulful experience.  In the heaven that is Varanasi resonating with temple bells and 'Har Har Mahadev'  you do not seek material flashiness .. What you seek  is a caressing spirituality complimenting the holy city that has you awaken to the fact that no permanence  can ever happen on the shifting sands of life ..

The cosy  terrace with tables arranged neatly  and smiling hands serving hot parathas  and tea  .. The Manager  and  reception staff  were pleasant and concerned about every aspect .Need one ask for more  when shrouded in a reaching  holiness .

A visit to Varanasi is not a pleasure cruise but an experience of realisation .. of birth and death, of  hope   and wounds transforming to a challenge one learns from and  ofcourse - a Karma one walks with

We  will  return and continue to stay there in our next visit too ..

Buena ubicación
Pros:

La ubicación es perfecta, esta justo al lado de uno de los ghats, y a menos de 5 minutos andando de un crematorio. Nos guardaron las maletas todo el día de salida, ya que el check out era a las 11am y nuestro tren a las 7pm.

Cons:

La habitación estaba bastante vieja. Esta en un callejón donde hay ambiente toda la noche, por lo que hay mucho ruido. No oueden llegar los tuk tuks, hay que llegar al hotel andando. No había desayuno, solo carta con platos más de comida o cena. No se puede pagar con tarjeta y nos cobraron más por la reserva. La limpieza es mejorable.

If you want to be in the disgusting slums of Varanasi near the ghats, it is quite ok
Pros:

Compared to the environment what is one of the worst I have ever seen, even for India, the hotel was a pleasant surprise. But nothing special. If you want to be near the ghats in the middle of the disgusting slums of Varanasi, this hotel is a good choice.

Cons:

The sheets and towels were not spotless. It was cold in the room without the option to warm it up and it didn't have window. But it was still better than taking one with windows as the street noise is just crazy. Our room was not far from the reception where the receptionist started to listen music loudly before 6AM! Some staff randomly entered into our room in the night when we were in the bed already without knocking because it was not possible to close the room properly from inside. The room was obviously without fridge. The bathroom

Good
Cons:

There was very loud noise on the street, especially during to day if one tried to nap - but this is to be expected given the location. Also, the noises were also generally caused by fun activities one could participate in, wedding processions etc...

One annoying point was that the hotel cancelled our reservation, even though we twice confirmed it. This didn't present a problem for us, as they just gave us the same room at the same price, but perhaps if we had gotten to the hotel later in the day (we got there around 2 pm) the room may have been given away. So this is potentially a big problem.

Rooms were decent and well maintained. Staffs are very humble. As Chowki Ghaat is not as well known as others, auto driv
Pros:

Hotel is right opposite to Chowki Ghaat. You could take a stroll in the early morning or late evenings to the Ghaats.

Cons:

Roads leading to the property are very narrow. So after a point you cannot expect auto to drop you to the hotel. There is some amount of walking required. In case you are carrying more luggage, then it becomes difficult. You can call up the hotel. Staff would assist you to carry them.
However, roads are not very clean, so the trolley bags would become dirty !!

Too much money for the quality of service provided.
Pros:

Good shower, fairly clean reception area. Helpful to a degree.

Cons:

The dirty sheets was left on the bed and was remade with the same douvet cover from the previous customer. I had to ask many times for it to be changed before they did. I prepaid for the room as to not be delayed for my flight, but was still delayed the next morning by 30mins. Thankfully I just caught my flight.
