Being greeted at 11pm at night by a bubbly simling gentleman instantly lifted my spirits after a long journey. got shown our room, we had a choice of 2 with no extra charges on either, comfortable bed and a large bathroom, not much else you could ask for until you go upstairs for breakfast and meet the rest of the...

Might not be perfect fit for all, but my expectations are simple, and this fit them quite nicely. The rooms are very simple and provide the basics: bathroom, bed and mosquito coils. You should plan to bring everything else, or expect to borrow or purchase from the family. I.e. toilet paper, apparently blankets when it is cold, a lock for... More

The hotel is in a good location only 10 minutes wak from Assi Ghat. The family that run it are very firendly and willing to advise and answer questions that you might have.The roof top terrace is very simple and basic, but a lovely place to sit in the sun. Food cooked with love. I booked the most expensive room... More

This little family hostel is wonderful. The rooms are small but clean, really cheap too. The family are so lovely and welcoming, the food is amazing home cooked food by Tripti and her mother, the kids are very cute, you can have cooking lessons with them, and a massage with home made oils. We felt so at home and we... More

Amazing family, very friendly and helpful, with their advice you have more chance to know Varanasi better. Rooms are clean, location is convenient, but it's more about people then just accommodation. Wherever in town you take rickshaw, almost everyone knows Doctor, the owner of the house.

I checked in at Maruti Guesthouse the 28th of february 2012 and checked out on april 3rd 2012. What a nice place to spend more than a month. Rooms are big with bathroom and big bed, fan...very basic but more than enough. The Maruti family is adorable, specially Shruti, the daughter who is a very smart artistic girl. All the... More

Tripti and her family are kind inviting hosts to guests at their place. The food is great, and the masala tea the best we had in India. The rooms are very clean and tidy. I would definately find myself staying there again if given the chance.

lovely little family-run establishment. simple but more than adequate rooms. if you're looking for an inexpensive place to stay in varanasi i'd recommend maruti guest house. and food is good as well. location is also quite good - close to banks of ganges. note that taxi drivers will not want to take you to this place because the owners don't...
