Hotel Sgt Plaza
5/52 Reviews
If you are going to pilgrimage, this is a good choice. It is close to places like Luyeyuan. You can take tutu for about 50 rubles. The hot water of the hotel also needs to be kept for a long time. I just went to find that the room quilt was used and did not replace it. I went to the front desk and asked for a clean change. The waiter said that the waiter on duty was wrong in the morning. The sheets are covered with some old ~
Taj Ganges Varanasi
4.3/550 Reviews
India's well-deserved hotel, luxurious decoration, first-class service, intimate and comfortable, rich breakfast, daily newspapers. It is completely isolated from the mess outside, just like being in two different worlds, it is worth staying.
Hotel Hvh Kashi Vishwanath
4.7/512 Reviews
Excellent location. Its near to temple and ghat and in market area. Connect with hotel first as google map showed wrong location for which we have submitted correction. Proper location is in Jangambari road. Auto rickshaws from railway station resist to go to this location which we didn't understood. Staff is good. Food is good. We stayed in super classic. Room size is good. Full time hot water was available. Lift is available. One issue is at stairs at hotel entry. Will definitely stay at same when I will visit again.
Wander Station Varanasi
4.3/58 Reviews
This was a well located hostel, and the staff were helpful when we were ***** questions. Also booked a sunrise tour from the hostel which was similarly priced to everywhere else but was a really good experience (guide was excellent). Room was slightly dirty, including the bedding, and the main inside common area smelt of stale sweat, but those were minor niggles. Overall a good start to our India adventure.
Gostops Varanasi
3.9/530 Reviews
Unusually for a cheap dormitory, it was thoroughly cleaned. Other than that, the facility itself is huge, and it seems that it will naturally become a place for backpackers to interact during the peak season. I wasn't expecting much since it was India and it was in Varanasi, but it was okay. I used it only for a shower and a nap and headed to Delhi on a night flight, but Varanasi is dirty and stinky with the Gandhi River, so it is recommended to use a cheap dormitory for shower use. If you enter the Gandhi River without planning a shower, you should definitely consider it an inpatient course.
Hotel Hari Vilaas
4.2/55 Reviews
5 points recommend this hotel for the following reasons 1. The location is two kilometers away from the altar of the sacrifice at night, 20 minutes walk. I don't recommend living beside the Ganges because the environment is poor and the traffic is particularly congested. 2 The hotel room is large, the bed is comfortable, and the air conditioning is very powerful. But please ask the room to have windows at check-in 3I ate at the hotel for the two days I stayed. This is a vegetarian restaurant. I tried Chinese fried noodles and Western pizza salads. 4 hotel service response in time

Must-Experience Uniqueness of Varanasi

Varanasi, also known as Banaras or Kashi, is a city that encapsulates the essence of spirituality, culture, and tradition. As one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world, it offers a unique experience that is sure to leave a lasting impression on any visitor.

One of the must-experience aspects of Varanasi is the mesmerizing Ganga Aarti ceremony held every evening at the Dashashwamedh Ghat. This spiritual ritual involves the offering of prayers to the sacred River Ganges, accompanied by the enchanting sound of bells, chants, and the flickering flames of the lamps. It is a truly awe-inspiring sight that showcases the deep-rooted religious beliefs of the city.

Another unique experience in Varanasi is taking a boat ride along the Ganges during sunrise or sunset. As you glide through the calm waters, you can witness the city come alive with the vibrant colors of the morning or evening sky. The ghats (steps leading to the river) dotted along the riverbank offer a glimpse into the daily lives of the locals, as they perform their rituals and ceremonies.
