I really liked the place. It's situated in a cozy area called Sarnath a bit outside of the hustle and bustle of Varanasi's city center. I really had a good time here, was able to do Yoga every day on the huge terrace and really fell in love with the place. The owners made me feel like at home here and they're really helpful and generous with the guests coming here. It's the perfect place if you want to escape the loud, crowded and demanding city center. Also, the food you can order directly at the hostel is sooo delicious for a very good price. All in all, a wonderful experience here.

Great location, basic but comfortable room and awesome host (Vishnu). Vishnu's place is good value for money in Varanasi, but Vishnu as a host is invaluable. He is friendly, provides a lot of good information and advice - he really knows the area well and I would recommend other guests to pay attention to his advice because everything he told us (about scams, traffic etc) came true. We would have missed our train because of traffic and road blockages if Vishnu had not warned us about needing to leave early.
