vishnu and his family are very hospitable people, we felt at home right away! we booked the non-AC room and got a free upgrade to the AC room. every day vishnu provided us with chai and bottles of cold mineral water, free of charge. he gave lots of useful info about varanasi and how to enjoy the city to its fullest, would definitely stay here again!

The host was so kind- he welcomed us with chai and provided unlimited free bottles of water during our whole stay. We booked the non ac room by accident but he upgraded us! The ac is very powerful! The location is perfect. It is right next to the main ghat but is on a quieter street. Very close to excellent food and any shopping you could want.

Host is very friendly and makes one comfortable. They even offered me food, free of cost and assisted me in visiting the places around. I was a solo traveler and felt very safe and comfortable

The guest house is in a perfect location, close to all the main points of interest. In literally less than 5 minutes you reach the main ceremonial ghat. Vishnu, the owner, is the most helpful host I've ever met. He really really cared about us having a good time, and was extremely helpful in organizing everything. Unfortunately we had already booked a boat tour with another company prior to booking at
maa Durga Inn, but I highly recommend asking Vishnu as he can organise it all for you at a honest price and he also does walking tours.
If I went back to Varanasi I would certainly go back to Vishnu's guest house. Highly recommended.
Ps: Vishnu makes the best chai in town you can't miss it
It all was good and the room was comfortable.

Everything! I switched places because Maa Durga was closer to the river and I am SO glad I did!! Vishnu is a wonderful human being who goes above and beyond to help his guests. His entire family and circle of friends are always helping out and going out of their way for you. Vishnu can help with ANYTHING and I mean it!! Varanasi can be overwhelming but Vishnu makes you feel at home.

Great location, rooms were good to.
It got rather cold in our room but we were there during winter time. The bathroom is also connected to the room next door’s bathroom so you could hear everything from their bathroom

Very nice place to stay in Varanasi! The owner was very nice with us, made us feel like we were at home. Also, best location, comfortable bed, clean room, hot shower, and they provide transport to/from airport if needed. Highly recommended. We will come back!

Vishnu is a very nice host that will want to make sure you re enjoying and getting the most out of your stay. He'll know or work with people that can either guide you, do a boat tour etc...
The place is located in the heart of the old town, were it's best to hang out.
Also, he does the best chai ever!
Be sure to have earplugs with you, the location makes it a bit noisy at night (the room is not very sound proofed). But it was fine for me with them.

The most important thing which everyone will love about the property is the owner Vishnu. He is just an amazing human being and in today's time where everyone tries to thug you with fake concept of making payment for various religious things, comes in Vishnu bhaiya who doesn't even charge any extra penny for all the services he provides. I had the best time in Varanasi and he helped me with everything - to planning my Ganga bath, to Ganga Aarti in the evening, to helping me with the process of Kashi Vishawanath Temple visit, to Making me eat at the best locations at Varanasi, to taking you from every inn road of kashi to see the city by foot. He also helped me with the process to go the other temples like - Sakshi vinayak, Kaal bhairav, Maha Mrintyunjayan temple, Sankat mochan, Durga devi, BHU Mahadev and lot more. He has been one of the best and most honest Host i have every met or seen. The crowd at this guest house is more of foreigners. The rooms are well kept and spacious for 2 people. The lanes of kashi are very small and the route to the hotel also make you go through those small lanes and gives you a very amazing heritage feeling. His property is just like 3 minute walk to Dashashwamedh Ghat where the Ganga Aarti happens and Kashi Vishawanath temple gate 2 is just 7 minute walk. His whole family come to your help if your require anything specific. he even helps for airport pick up and drop and doesn't charge any extra money to help you. In today world such good people are hard to find. I would recommend - solo travelers and couples to go stay at his place and explore kashi in a perfect way which he will plan for you. A minimum of 2 full days are needed to see the place.
Everything was just perfectly kept and done. Nothing u can dislike. Yes, if you want five star or three star hotel services and things like that then you should go for the hotels which are far from the main sightseeing places. But if you need to be in the vibe and energy of the city then stay at Maa Durga INN.

The owner Mr.Vishnu is a Gentleman, we were not able to find any rooms since ours was a late booking then I made this booking and he immediately called me up and guided me very well to find the hotel. Once we reached he made sure we were comfortable and even helped us out with few toiletries . All in all an excellent place and surely recommend to anyone who is looking to stay at Varanasi Ghat
Honestly nothing , every thing is very good and well taken care of

It was very clean and the location was perfect. In addition the hotel had exceptional staff who attended to every need. Hotel owner was also a guide and gave excellent hospitality.... faultless and can not recommend enough.
9.2 / 10.0
The hospitality of Vishnu is incredible, he is very warm and friendly and really cares about your wellbeing. He arranged a boat for me and and showed me his tea shop and how to make real chai tea. He speaks a lot of languages fluently. So I can fully recommend to stay in his hostel which is quit place and still very close to the main ghats ! Thnks Vishnu and amid!
The only thing that could improve was a chill out place on the roof terrace. But Vishnu will arrange that in the near future he told me.

The property was clean, decorated beautifully and is close to the river. Vishnu is a perfect host, friendly, informative, genuine and a very funny guy. He should be mayor of Varanasi. The other staff were top quality also. Stay here, it’s great.

Vishnu (the owner) is a true help for any need you can have. Honest, lovely and very helpful. He runs also a wonderful tea shop where he can show you how the real indian chai is made. Highly recommended place, near to everything. Thank you again for this great experience
