Un hospedaje basado en la Honestidad y claridad
Pros:

Varanasi es una ciudad alucinante, llena de vida, contrastes y una energía difícil de explicar. Era, probablemente, la ciudad de India que más respeto me imponía antes de llegar y, sin embargo, ha terminado siendo una de las que más feliz me ha hecho .

Gran parte de esa experiencia se la debo a este alojamiento y, sobre todo, a las personas que lo hacen especial. El dueño y todo el personal me trataron de una manera encantadora desde el primer momento. Fueron respetuosos, amables y siempre estuvieron dispuestos a ayudarme.

Me proporcionaron información y consejos que no había recibido durante el resto de mi viaje por India, algo que agradecí muchísimo. Pero, si tuviera que destacar algo por encima de todo, sería su honestidad y transparencia.

Fue el trato más claro y sincero que encontré durante todo mi recorrido por el país: sin discusiones, sin precios abusivos, sin sorpresas ni intentos de aprovecharse del turista. Todo explicado con claridad, desde el primer momento y con una amabilidad que marca la diferencia.

Me voy de Varanasi con un recuerdo precioso y con la sensación de haber encontrado personas que realmente hacen las cosas bien. Gracias por hacer que una ciudad que tanto me imponía terminara convirtiéndose en una de mis experiencias favoritas de India.

¡Lo recomiendo sin ninguna duda!

Amazing hospitality near Assi Ghat.
Pros:

Amazing hosts and a real homestay level of hospitality. The hosts helped to organise great transfers, tours and experiences. Loved our guide Viki. Very central location (down alley but safe and easy to navigate) and the property had a lot of character. The rooftop was a lovely place to hang out for breakfast, dinner and evening chats. Great authentic food. Rooms as per photos.

Please, do yourself a favour and stay here!
Pros:

I honestly don’t know where to start from. It was definitely the best experience I had in a hotel. It’s a hotel but more like a guest house. Our experience there was unreal. The owner helped literally with everything we needed. From food recommendations and sightseeing till money exchange, insight info about Varanasi and the way of leaving there. His wife and all the staff was unbelievable! Please do yourself a favour and stay at this place. Also, we arrived quite early from the check in time, and they gave us a VERY early check in, free of charge, which was life saving for us. Honestly 10/10!!!

Cons:

Nothing! Everything was great

Pros:

Die Lage war super, da sie nur wenige Gehminuten vom Assi Ghat entfernt ist. Die Gastgeber sind sehr bemüht, geben Tipps und sind sehr hilfsbereit. Die Dachterasse ist sehr schön und lädt zum verweihlen ein.

Cons:

Man könnte die Sauberkeit in den Zimmern verbessern. Leider war das externe Badezimmer nicht privat, sondern musste geteilt werden. Obwohl in unserer Buchung privates Badezimmer dabei stand.

Et gull guesthouse for Varanasi dager
Pros:

Gully Ghar gir mye valuta for pengene! Frokosten på roaftop terrace er utmerket, tilberedt med ferske og lokale råvarer. Stedet ligger praktisk til med korte avstander til severdigheter. Bra sted, fine folk!

Cons:

Som de fleste steder i India, er det stadig mange tjenester som tilbys, vare seg du ber om det eller ikke. Vi bestilte både sunrise boat trip, og transport til flyplassen - Det var helt topp!

Ideal for backpackers
Pros:

Excellent breakfast and hospitality. We got a very nice dinner the day of arrival very late at night.

Cons:

There was no closet. Bathroom could be improved. Even though the hotel is located nearby sightseeing locations and most important Ghats, the entrance to the hotel puts you off…but Varanasi is like that. In general old furniture. Not good value for money.

Pros:

Muy buena ubicación cerca de Assi Ghat y excelente relación calidad-precio. Lo mejor, sin duda, fue el trato de Saurabh y su esposa: amables, cercanos y siempre dispuestos a ayudar. El alojamiento está algo escondido y el acceso es entre callejuelas, pero forma parte también del ambiente de la zona. La habitación y el baño son sencillos, aunque acordes con el precio.

Pros:

Definitivamente recomiendo alojarse en Gully Ghar, está muy bien ubicado y la atención es excelente, Saurabh es un excelente anfitrión. Siempre estuvo dispuesto a ayudarnos con todas las dudas que teníamos, ofrecen un excelente desayuno, incluso nos prepararon unos huevos fritos sin cargo adicional. Al final de nuestra estadía Saurabh nos obsequió un Khata, el cual es un bonito recuerdo de nuestro paso por India. Sin duda es una excelente opción para hospedarse en Varanasi
