Cons:

Juste pour prévenir que la terrasse en haut est actuellement en travaux donc ne prenez pas en compte les anciens avis . Nous sommes arrivés ici, il n’y a qu’une seule chambre et vous êtes chez les gens. La douche est également commune avec la famille qui loge ici.
Je ne veux pas les blâmer pour publicité mensongère car c’est peut être une période de transition mais je ne le recommande pas en ce moment vu en + le prix assez élevé pour une chambre + que sommaire.

Other places in a better location - wouldn’t stay here again - wouldn’t stay again
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

It was not what was advertised. No toilet paper, no towels, no functioning restaurant, no working TV, no toiletries (as advertised)no kettle or slippers (as advertised). Should update booking.com to reflect renovations to restaurant and will reopen at a given date- the rooftop cafe was the main reason we booked it . Could see the river but can’t access it.

Value for money closer to the ghats
Pros:

Location is great. Host Yash is helpful and knowledgeable. It’s a home stay so one should visit it with that expectation and not a hotel service.

very comfortable close to Ganges and the Ghats with a chance to explore the Galis for Banarasi saris
Pros:

He was quite helpful. A stay near the ghats would only help you with the most authentic experience one can have in Banaras. What more would you want other than stepping out and you are at the most famous Ghats of Banaras. It's the luxury in the chaos of these famous Ghats that people look for. It helped me to connect to the roots and I could perform my rituals with the comfort of staying closer to Ganges. You get to explore the famous Galiyaan and so safe at night too. I could walk through the Galis at night to board a vehicle for the airport.

Cons:

I would not seek anything more out of this place if not, the comfort of stay and tranquility.

Awesome
Pros:

One of the best home stays, that we have stayed in. The host Ashutosh chaturvedi is very helpful. The room was neat and clean, the food was great, just like home cooked meals. Great for families, and very close to the ghat.
The host also arranged, and helped us for Aarti at Assi Ghat , must stay here if you're looking for family atmosphere
