Good home stay cum backpackers hostel
Pros:

Its really nice homestay because of the two brothers, Krishna and Navi, both from the starting they try to make your stay comfortable and easy going. They upgraded us to balcony room but we book budget room, without any extra fee. You can talk with them hour to hour learn about the Varanasi culture and Hindu religion, they are so happy to share their knowledge. The cook Rajkumar also be very friendly guy who make really good /healthy breakfast for us, their roof top is gem because here you meet the other traveler at the breakfast time , share the story/ making the story.
At last this is one of the best homestay in my whole trip in India. I am happy to select this property
They have also some services like
Pick up and drooping from the airport,
Waling and boat tour in the Varanasi .

Cons:

Narrow Lane and Stairs.

Pros:

La posizione è comodissima per i Ghat, ma molto silenziosa.
Gli host sono disponibili per qualsiasi esigenza e hanno molti contatti, è stato molto bello scambiare due chiacchiere sulla terrazza in cima al palazzo.
Consigliato a chi vuole vivere Varanasi al 100%

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!
