Temiz, konumu ve yemekleri güzel, çalışanları ilgili ve kibar

There is simply no better location in Varanasi, right on the banks of the Ganges, and we booked a room on the top floor with a balcony facing the river. It was the monsoon so the river was high and you couldn't walk along the bank as you would at other times, but that was made up for by the clouds of little swifts, swallow-like birds that constantly chase insects over the water and therefore came almost onto our balcony. We could see all the coming and going on the swollen river, and look south along the ghats, with smoke from the Manikarnika burning ghat on our left, and to our right the Dashashwamedh Ghat where foreign tourists can get front row seats to watch the prayer to the Ganges every evening (the hotel can arrange it). Leaving the hotel meant walking through Old Town alleys so narrow even autorickshaws cannot enter, although you do have to dodge motorcycles, bicycles and cows (thankfully the water buffalos were apparently recently relocated). The people, schools, shops, eateries and temples everywhere are fascinating. The streets can be daunting, but we felt more comfortable after a tour of the neighbourhood with Balu, a very well informed guide who works with the hotel, and whom we would very much recommend (and yes, his name does mean "bear".) The hotel also arranged the traditional dawn boat ride for us, essential for starting to understand Varanasi. Apart from that, we didn't have to leave the hotel that much, as the restaurant had a full menu of good Indian and what might be called backpacker-Western food, including cold beverages, even though it was the off season. The roof restaurant had a magnificent view, and we could hear people practicing tabla in the adjacent music school.

The location of the guest house is what makes it so amazing, so this isn't really a complaint, but that location also means you cannot take a vehicle from the closest place a car or rickshaw can come, to the hotel. They say it's a 15 minute walk. I didn't time it, as we made it largely while politely attempting to not collide with columns of chanting Hindus carrying early-morning jugs of Ganges water up the riverbank as we walked down it, pursuing our suitcases as they disappeared down the alleys on the heads of the hotel guys. At 5:30 in the morning after an overnight train that can have its difficult moments. But the hotel sent a taxi to get us from the station, and the aforementioned guys to carry our luggage from the taxi drop-off point, and we had booked for the preceding night so we had a room, and bed if needed, waiting on arrival. So it all worked out fine. Which is to say, if you can at all manage that walk, don't necessarily let it put you off. It sounds like a headache given the drive-up nature of most hotels, but it's part of the Varanasi magic. I'm pushing 70 and not terribly athletic, and I really hadn't slept well on the train, and I managed. Also: the PR photos for the guesthouse show swinging chairs on the balconies facing the Ganges. They have all disappeared, it seems. Extremely minor point, I loved sitting on that balcony on a perfectly ordinary chair, but those would be fantastic if they were ever to re-appear.

Location is on Ghats .Room had fab view of Ganges. Food was good. Tours , taxis, airport transfer arranged without any issues. Rooftop restaurant was very nice in the evening.

Location

Great location in Varanasi’s old town. affordable tours and boat rides. the patio was confy.

no free breakfast, and you had to buy water at the restaurant of the guest house. the food was average.

Very good kitchen and staff.

The AC must get checked more frequently, so that it does not happen, that it's not properly working. I had to wait 3 days for it to get fixed.

The staff cleans all around it every day and it’s very joyful and full of green around, not mentioning the view of the Ganga river from the roof top and some of the rooms.

Nothing.
