I spent 5 days here and the services and room is awesome. The location is perfect , near railway station and market but quite calm. The staff Vikas and Rajesh are quite helpful. The food is yummy and like home. I will recommend to stay here if you want to enjoy staying in banaras. Love to stay here again if I will go to banaras.
gagan mittalWhy was it excellent? Because it is a home away from home. Such lovely people, the staff, especially Mr. Sunil and Mr. Rajesh. They take care of you as if they are your family. I am going to visit soon again.
Anu ChandelOne of Varanasi's oldest hostel.This hostel's architectural style is quite unique. The rooms are kept immaculately clean and sanitary. The beautiful garden in front of the hostel is the main attraction. I've never seen a hostel with a garden like this. You can relax in the garden, which is a relatively quiet spot away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The location is close to a railway station and is only a short walk away. Sunil, the manager, is a wonderful person who will assist you at all times. Inside the hostel, only vegetarian foods are permitted. Only from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. will the air conditioning be turned on. Hot water is accessible at all times for bathing. There is also a kitchen attached to the hostel.Parking space is available for bikes and one or two cars.Even in the early morning hours, share autos will be available from the vicinity to the Ghats. It was a very good experience staying here . I would recommend ITH to anyone visiting Varanasi
Sandesh VenuI love this hostel. It makes me feel like home the staff is so supportive polite and ready for service anytime we need. Ambience great. GARDEN is something hidden treasure in this busy city. Rooms are worthy. Hygienic.
satya sharmaGreat place to stay in Varanasi. You get to meet amazing fellow travellers, friendly hosts and staff and good amenities. The ghats are about 3-4 kms away from the place and can be easily reached with share autorickshaws
