This being our 1st trip to Varanasi and what a pleasant surprise to find such a beautiful resort with such friendly and caring host and staff. The owner was wonderful and the place is taken care of with so much of love and attention to detail. The garden was beautiful and was set in a very serene environment. With the hustle and bustle of Varanasi it was always great to come back to the peace and tranquility. 10/10 for this place.

The house has a beautiful antique interior of 200 years old. It feels like going back in time. The house has two rooms, a shared living room and a fully equipped kitchen. The host, Amit, is a wonderful honest guy, he picked us up from the airport late at night while our flight was delayed. He is there whenever you need him but he knows how to respect your privacy. The location is close to the old city center.

I would highly recommend this property as the location is just perfect. It is very near to Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Ganges and even famous chaat places like Deena Chat and Kashi chat. And people who want to go for shopping will also have a lot of benefit as it's very near to most of the famous banarasi silk fabric/saree houses. Even commute vehicles are easily available to go anywhere. I must say that the stay was very comfortable and cleanliness was top notch. The hotel staff was very polite and cooperative. The host was in-fact very helpful in providing us so many recommendations of best places to visit, best eateries, shopping centers or any suggestions related to Varanasi, as me and my family were visiting here for the first time. I would say this hotel really offers everything you need in your stay at such nominal prices. Thank you CocoIn and Chaitanya for making our trip to Varanasi so memorable, we would love to come back and stay here again.

The property is quite away from the busy streets of Varanasi. It is peaceful. This is a family run business where the owner has also vehicles for hire. They were really honest where no vehicle was available, they allocate someone to help and to ensure that all prices are charged at the local rate. Food was amazing. The way they treat you is exceptional. You will feel at home here. Also due to the floods, there has internet issues which to compensate they provided me with their mobile hotspot until the issue is fixed. I came for rudra abishek and their son came personally to ensure that I was being looked after properly as I do not speak the local language. Defo a place to remember especially for the way they look after you and treat you like their own family. I was really really lucky to meet these guys!
