Everything about the hostel was beautiful. The setup, the ambience, attitude of staff, everything was top notch. We were made to feel like more than just customers here. Mr. Vikas Is an epic host and always makes his guests feel at home. You need anything at any time of the day, just tell him and it will be there. All of the guests who were strangers to each other celebrated one of the birthdays together and danced all night long. It was such a memorable day. The vibe here is unmatched and highest plus point is the location, which is walking distance from train and bus station of Varanasi. Highly recommended.

HimanshuSolo traveller - Avg. price/night: KRW 42,1408.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 678 reviewsgreat hostel, exactly what you’d expect from a backpacker hostel. Great common area (games room, guest shower, terrace with kitchen). Really makes for a relaxed atmosphere. we stayed for holi, and when things got a bit rowdy in town we came back here where there was a really nice party (very safe, with checks of who was allowed in and who not). the people who work there are super friendly and accommodating for traveler’s needs (clear info and help, even provided extra soap and towel to use for our post holi shower). highly recommend!ANNELIESYoung couple
