Varanasi Hostels

Apart from the rooms being clean and tidy, the position is fantastic and is basically right on the Ganga river, you walk down to the Ghats (choice of 2 direct access points) in 2 minutes! Perfect for doing a sunrise or sunset Ganga Ceremony boat experience. The rooftop bar/restaurant is fantastic! You can't beat the panoramic views of the Ganga from here. With a cold drink in hand late in the cooler afternoon with the view is perfection! The staff are excellent, you can ask for any kind of assistance, like organise a guide (I recommend Lalit - ask for him!), any information, transfers etc and they are more than happy to help or organise it for you. Yes, you have to walk a little way from the main roads where you get out of your car, but you're in Varanasi - you should be expecting this!! But if you make contact with the staff before hand they can organise your entire transfer from the train or plain and porters will meet you at the car to not only take your bags but guide you the way there.

Location - Fabulous located on Darbhanga ghat on the banks of river Ganga. Close to Dashwamedha ghat where the Ganga Aarti happens. Approach - 4 approaches the toughest one being from the Darbhanga Ghat easiest being from Madanpura Hotel - belongs to the Dwivedi Hotels group of 4 hotels. Can’t say much of the other hotels. Room - Saptarshi Suite is the best due to it location facing the Ganga. Small balcony good to stand and view the Ganga Cleanliness- is decent can’t expect much in smaller hotels like this one Reception - Ajay Vicky very proactive and helpful. Food - THE WORST cook with attitude here. Please avoid meals better to eat dry snacks as food is tasteless. Basic breakfast boiled egg bread butter jam toast fruits cornflake and milk served daily. Only Indian items change. Eggs on order aren’t possible and the cook has no clue to make omelette so pls don’t order. Ketchup is poured to make omelette, fried rice and at times the cook cheats on by scrapping boiled egg as omelette. Please change your cook and his attitude. Plug points - please change the same. One can only charge 1 mobile. Only one point near the bed. Other 2 points are at a height so one needs to carry long cables. The kettle given doesn’t reach any other point except one next to the bed. So massive juggling required. Quilt- suggest hotel to go ECO friendly to avoid change of bed sheets/ quilts and towels instead of having torn ones.
