Safarnama Varanasi A Boutique B&B

Beautifully decorated aesthetic rooms with cozy interior, one of most helpful staffs we have ever come across. They really take care of everything for you. Super location with everything in walking distance, You will feel like right the in the middle of old Kashi.

We arrived very early in the morning having come off a night train from New Delhi. Unfortunately the rooms were not ready but they were welcoming and keen to help us and there was a toilet and common area we could use to get ourselves straight before going out for the day. The rooms are decorated very nicely and there are lots of nice touches included in the room. In a very India way, everything looks like it needs a lick of paint, with a lot of bumps/scrapes on the walls etc. but this was part of the charm. Shower was hot (after you wait for it to heat up) and powerful. We had one room on the ground floor and one on the first floor and the ground floor suffered a bit from street noise at night time but overall the streets do quieten down and it didn't bother us particularly. Breakfast was bread and omelettes at a shared table and was "fine". For the price paid, in this central location, this was a very good decision. One tip - make sure you pay in advance. We tried to book a "pay on arrival" rate from a large hotel comparison site and within a short time we received a message from the guesthouse demanding that we pay in advance through a link they would send. We cancelled and re-booked pay-in-advance through the comparison site.

Very 3rd grade hotel, I stayed last week and worst experience I had here. It’s congested, no windows, very suffocating place. Hygiene is not maintained. The approach to reach hotel itself is worst experience. Staff is very poor, food is bad. I wonder why people will ever want to stay in this place. I made a mistake, you pls don’t.

The place itself is very beautiful and very clean, and the staff is so helpful! Good location, they also provide tours in the holy city. Good traditional indian breakfast, it was really delicious. Would return for sure in this beautiful hotel.

It's great experience and very much supportive staff ...there is narrow passage to reach here but it's great place to stay will be best soothing for you. Pandit ji is supportive person here.you can surely stay here and great place to stay here.

It is 6am and I have been awake all night with guests trooping in at all hours. The hotel has made a small common area on the first floor right outside our bedroom. Guests sat out and had no concept of this being night time - it was like sleeping on a railway platform. The noise from the street is no issue but the noise of other residents due to the smallness and the idea to create a sitting area right by the rooms made this a very tiring experience. Room was small and clean. Staff helpful. Location good enough. But not for us.
