Worth weighing

4 to weigh

“I'd stay here again; I really enjoyed it. Definitely the best budget hotel, with honest and pleasant staff and reasonably spacious rooms. The setting is excellent, right next to a temple and close to the centre, near the Ganga river.”

7.5Verified guest

“Great pick for a convenient visit to Kashi Vishwanath Temple. The staff and owner were friendly and provided excellent service. Rooms are basic but perfect if you're prioritising convenience. The vibe and location, close to shopping and the temple, were great. Downsides: small rooms and missing basics like soap and better bedding.”
