    I will suggest they should add blinds to the windows. Curtains are not reliable fully for privacy.

    Staffs were very helpful,and the place is clean and peaceful.

    Benaras invited me first to herself and later to ITH. I say that because everything fell in place as soon as I walked into the pretty abode that I chose for myself. It was my home for six days straight with nothing better I could've asked for. The pretty room opening to beautiful plants and sunlight seeping straight from the window! I woke up to the sound of birds each day and awakened with the refreshing chai made by Rajesh Ji. The team, including Bikash Ji, Rajesh Ji, and Ranjit Ji, ensured that I'm bereft of even the slightest inconvenience. They encouraged me to wander the city like a free bird and instilled enough faith about Benarasis that I felt like one of them. I could write a memoir about my experiences, but for now, just know that if Benaras chooses you, choose ITH.

    A lot of mosquitos and our room smelled a lot, presumably due to people burning incense sticks before. Shared bathroom wasn't too clean

    Quiet area, very near to the train station

    Everything was accurately listed so we were aware of this before booking so was not an issue. But for those booking, be aware that most rooms have a shared bathroom and that the accom is a 15-20 minute rickshaw from old town.

    Quiet oasis away from the chaos of Old Varanasi We booked the triple room which was spacious, clean and had great natural light Very kind and helpful staff Beautiful garden and upper deck sitting area with thoughtful touches like candles at night

    Nothing as such. The only downside could be that the place is not near to ghat. But, from the main road you get transportation very easily in less than 50rs. So it works great too.

    I had an amazing stay in a private room—cozy, well-maintained, and absolutely worth the price! From the smart washroom to the comfortable bed, everything was thoughtfully designed for a great experience. The property’s location is unbeatable—less than 1 km from Varanasi Junction, making it super convenient. The overall vibe of the place is fantastic, with a beautiful wooden aesthetic that adds warmth and charm. The garden area is a perfect spot to unwind, and in the evenings, the staff lights candles, creating a magical and peaceful ambiance. It truly enhances the experience! I also checked out the dorms, and they looked equally impressive. As someone who works while traveling, I really appreciated the seamless WiFi connectivity. Huge shoutout to the incredible team managing the property—especially Bikash bhaiya, who goes above and beyond to ensure every guest has a pleasant and hassle-free stay. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Varanasi. The perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and a welcoming atmosphere—can’t wait to return!

    Location - 5 max 10 minutes walk to the VNS Railway Junction station. Staff - Bikash Singh the manager is extremely helpful and has an eye for details. He goes out of the way to make the roomies feel like one big family. Breakfast - is simple mostly Paratha and achar or poha

    Personally I loved this hostel, it's like a calm, tranquil oasis in amongst the madness that is modern urban India. It is close to Varanasi railway station but also only a 30 mins walk to the river. The owner and staff were incredibly kind and helpful. Definitely recommend.

    I recently stayed at the International Travellers' Hostel by ITH Stays in Varanasi, and it was awesome! This place is a gem, nestled in a cool vintage British-era home just a short 7-minute walk from the Varanasi Railway Station. Talk about convenience! The rooms are comfy, clean, and air-conditioned, with hot and cold showers available around the clock. The staff, especially the super-friendly manager Bikash, went out of his way- to help us out thither local information and airport transfers. The vegetarian is a highlight—fresh, tasty food, and that Masala Chai in the morning? Perfect. The garden and common areas are beautiful and great for relaxing. All in all, I had an incredible time at the International Travellers' Hostel by ITH Stays and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Varanasi.

    All was perfect! But keep in mind you have to take a Tuktuk to the Ghats, since its little far away. But it’s worth the trade off to have a calm place ☺️ and I saw construction for a ropeway station nearby, so maybe in future you can get to the center by cable car! 🚠

    -great staff -delicious food -clean -close to Varanasi Yard Railway -and most important: quite! India and especially Varanasi can get real busy. It’s super interesting and exciting to see, but it’s also nice to come back to the hostel and don’t hear the traffic all the time ☺️

    No issues at all but it was tough to find the hotels check in counter and main entrance at first, i hope they place some stickers to guide the first time travellers.

    It’s in very calm place, the ambience was extremely peaceful. Moreover the rooms were very clean and hygienic, also the staff was very accommodating and professional. They took care of me like a family. Overall it was very comfortable and smooth. Thanks to the staff for allowing me a early check in. Also overall i had an awesome experience.😃
