My trip was absolutely horrible, the place is back dated , it was filthy , the TV did not work, we did not get the room that we payed for , we were told that , that room was occupied. I would not recommend anybody to stay there , I wouldn’t give it half a star.. The bathroom floor was always wet . Photos are very deceiving.,please don’t go by their photos

A little tricky to locate and if it wasnt for prior advice that you must get dropped off at main street and find property from there.
Telephone calls and messages sent via hotels.com all unanswered.
Property helpful to arrange tours but costs and schedule unclear and payment was more than suggested. tip: get it in writing and costs in advance and who exactly gets paid. plus plus plus
Location great.

Taxi Could not even drive to hotel and had to drop us at an intersection for a rickshaw to take us to hotel. After several attempts the ricky could not even reach the hotel. Customer service is POOR and Phone calls to the hotels phone were UNANSWERED so we were forced to find another hotel. I was not able to get back a full rebate

We had an excellent stay at the hotel Sita. The staff treated us like family, from helping organize a guide to lead us to the hotel from the Main Street, to helping us schedule an all-day tour of Varanasi starting at six AM the next day with an excellent tour guide. We had arrived late at night and had not booked a tour in advance, but the hotel has a number of trusted guides and we were able to start a tour the next day at 5:30 AM. I can strongly recommend Diamond, who led us to burn famous and special out of the way locations over a two day tour.
I was aware that the room and building were historic and was not expecting the same bland experience as in a new western style hotel, what I did get is a perfectly comfortable room with two large clean mattresses, and most amazingly, an unimpeded view of the River Ganges and one of the historic ghats literally at the doorstep of the hotel.
The bathroom was clad in marble with a full size tub and sink. The entire room serves as a shower and is very roomy.
Additionally, the food at the rooftop cafe was excellent. We enjoyed fresh lime soda, ginger chai, Indian style omelettes and more. We actually never had a need to take meals anywhere else and the rooftop view and outdoor seating were spectacular.
The location in proximity to the center of historic Varanasi was excellent for visiting many of the most famous ghats, taking boat rides, shopping and getting lost (on purpose) in the timeless back alleys.

Recommended only for people who want to stay on the ghat as top preference. Every thing else one need to bear it.

Great location, amazing views of the river, a perfect place to stay in Varansi.
The hotel is located walking distance away from the main ghats which is quiet convenient, at the same time the ghat on which it is located is quieter to spend time relaxing by the river Ganga.
The only challenge is approach, no vehicle is permitted beyond a certain point, I recommend you reach out to hotel in advance to ensure you know how to reach there or organize transport from the hotel

The hotel looks a little worn from the outside. Inside there is a bit of concrete, however the room was in really good condition. there is a wonderful panorama view directly to the river Ganges … you are literally on the banks of the Ganges river. Be aware, there is no road to the hotel, so there is a walk of about 500 meters from the closet place a car or auto can drop you.
1.0
The hotel’s location is not accessible by taxi/car. The taxi has to stop at 1-2 km away and you will have to walk for 10-20 minutes in some narrow roads before you find the hotel. If you really want to stay in this hotel, I would suggest you contact the hotel to arrange for transport. The towels and bed sheets are not clean.

First time was 18 years ago. The mystique is gone since long. Regarding SITA guest house; had booked one double room one family room. When we came there where hired out! After some while they offered two rooms to split! Strongly NOT recommended SITA GH any more have since long lived past its roomer!

Excellent location but room very small and old. A young guy tries to get you on a boat tour which we did but then overcharged but refused to pay boatman. Avoid Brown Bread bakery as they kick the dogs.If you call them they will meet you at the road and guide you to the hotel.

If you would like to view the mighty Gangaji, in all its majesty, right below the balcony/window of your room, then Sita Guest House (SGH) is the place. The ambience of this place is rustic; the open Dining Room (on the roof) can be very hot at this time of the year; the room would be cleaned ONLY if you demand and the price of the food is exorbitant, BUT the Staff is extraordinary in their efforts to serve you, the food is definitely tasty and the views from the room/roof is simply out-of-this-world! A word of caution though --- SGH is about a mile from the nearest motor-able road and have to be reached by walking through narrow, twisting, cobbled-stoned lanes. While you will certainly get somebody from SGH to carry one of your luggage, the remaining have to be lugged by yourself. This is understandable considering the fact that the Ghat area of Varanasi has been historically accessible only on foot. Thus, travel light AND travel in the Winters, if SGH is your stay. The trade off to this apparent discomfort is the nearness to all the Ghats (hence a daily dip in Gangaji), Temples (Viswanath, Annapurna, Vishalakshi) and to shops for the famed Benarasi Lassi-Malai-Rabri AND to the numerous Weaver-joints for the famed Benarasi Sarees/Silks. SGH, if requested, can provide a Staff member to escort for visits to Temples/Shops/Weavers etc. SGHs Manager, Mr Manoj is a forthright, transparent, cooperative and a no-nonsense man. All in all, SGH shall be a memorable experience.

If you want to be close to the ghats and the Ganga River, then Sita Guest house is for you. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The rooms are a little small, but they are clean and comfortable. You literally can walk out the front entrance to this guest house down to the river. I found the staff friendly and easy to work with.

Great location, new lift a real bonus. But the bathroom needs a good scrub with bleach. The beds are hard. But the staff are very helpful, especially the man who organises day activities. I would go back!

Had a great stay at Sita guest house, the hotel manager Rakesh does walking tours and shows all the insites to Varanasi That you wouldn’t see as a tourist. he also organised boat trip at a very good price, same with with taxi to airport, trust him he’s not in it for the money he’s a genuine nice man.

Sita Guest houses location is spectacular and is very reasonably priced and the staff are very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. If booking this hotel consider a room facing the Ganga River with a balcony. The other rooms are OK. Even though the building and rooms are not in the best condition, the staff and location and price make up for this 100 times over. The restaurant also serves great food from a rooftop restaurant with a great view. The Guest house is in very easy walking distance of the Ghats and markets. Definitely worth considering if youre planning to Visit Varanasi
