My boyfriend and I were very happy with the Rahul Guest House. We were only there for a few days, but the staff was extremely helpful in filling our time with as many activities as possible. Unfortunately, we both got food poisoning from an outside restaurant during our second night. I repeatedly woke up one man during the middle of... More

This guest house is located close to Assi Ghat and is about a 15-20 walk away from the main center of Varanasi. The rooms were relatively comfortable and the private bathrooms offered hot water. The rooms could have been slightly cleaner, but they were a good value considering the price. The hotel staff was welcoming and offered advice on sightseeing... More

This place is awesome. This was my wife an my first trip to India, and Varanasi was the final leg, staying at Rahul made it so much more enjoyable. The staff were amazing, and you could tell that a lot of love has gone into building this family business. It looks like they are always doing renovations, trying to improve... More

Myself and my boyfriend spent 5 days at Rahul guesthouse and really enjoyed our stay. As it was low season we were actually the only 2 people staying there except for our last night. This meant that the restaurant was only open for us, which made us feel a little awkward, as they were just waiting around for us. But... More

We are a couple on our 1st trip to India and stayed in room 114 which we were upgraded from a standard non ac room for the same price and we didn't even asked for it. The room didn't have the river view, but the roof top restaurant area had all the views you need. Staff were nice and polite,... More

I chose this place after reading the reviews and I was generally happy with it. I had a smooth airport pickup (a good idea; it's hard to find, even for tuk tuk and taxi drivers. If you tell them it's near Assi Ghat, they eventually find it). I found the owners and staff helpful, if a little distracted while I... More

If, like us, you end up a bit stuck in Varanasi due to train availability being low and have had enough of the old town area, head south along the river a bit to one of the much quieter areas for a more relaxing stay in a quiet residential area. We stayed at Rahul's for 2 nights and were pleased... More

We stayed at Rahul for a week. We liked the location, it was a lovely quiet area and only a 5-10 minute rickshaw ride to the mayhem of Varanasi. We never felt unsafe in the surrounding area at night time coming home etc. After a day in the chaos of the main area, we let out a sigh of relief... More
