Pros:

Prem and Anita made us feel very welcome and at home. Every morning they prepared breakfast for us in their own living room. Prem also took us on a guided tour around the old city and the ghats. He knows the place very well and is fun to spend time with. He showed us every nook and cranny that the city has to offer, many such places are not even listed in the guidebook and everything we saw was accompanied with an explanation or story. We normally don't hire guides, but in this case we highly recommend it, since as a foreigner you don't know the rules, the customs and the possibilities at such a place of special religious significance as Varanasi. You won't regret it!

Special experience in a special city
Pros:

We had a wonderful experience at this house. We felt welcomed by the very kind host, Prem, who also guided us through the unique city of Varanasi. The Varuna Palace's facilities allow you to experience the city as it should be. Excellent breakfast, special thanks to Hanita!

Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel in Varanasi. It had such a nice, homely atmosphere, and Prem really made me feel welcome, like I was right at home. He was incredibly helpful, sharing his deep local knowledge, and even went out of his way to assist with my onward journey, helping me book tickets and guiding me on how to navigate my next destination. I highly recommend staying here and experiencing Prem’s wonderful hospitality. Thank you, Prem, for everything!

We felt comfortable, welcomed, safe and informed nothing was too hard for press to help us organise and did his upmost t
Pros:

Me and my friend Lydia from Australia travelled from Australia and then from Rishakesh to Varanasi; the night train was delayed three hours so we arrived way later the expected wait time presh was waiting for us out the front with the biggest smile. He took us in and showed us around his beautiful place and made sure we had everything we needed. Comfortable sleep and cold AC with fan TV with excellent wifi that enabled Netflix and the lot. His wife Anitha made the nicest Indian breakfast and we sat and spoke about what ever we needed to throughout the day. Would definately reccomend and come back here if coming through Varanasi again. He can also speak French which is amazing

Cons:

Nothing it was homely and welcoming

Great find in peak season
Pros:

It was a good find given the rush of Mahakumbh in the nearby cities. The hotel management was very helpful and even arranged for nearby rooms for my family.

Cons:

The hotel may consider adding in-house kitchen in future.

Rough stay.
Cons:

The cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired. No toilet paper.

The place was not easy to find. It was in some back alley.

Walls were thin with people snoring and a lot of mosquitoes.
