+Very kind, friendly and helpful host. Pleasant staff. For me the location was good just past all the busier areas.
−The first room I was given wasn't acceptable but they quickly finished a repair in another unit and I was able to move. At the time they were renovating so I'm sure the rooms will be greatly improved.

“Stunning room and caring hospitality that was of this world”
+We had a lovely welcome on arrival The room was amazing, the size was huge and the double aspect window gave such a wonderful view of the river area. The restaurant has an extensive menu and the food was really good and gave great value. Chef was a really nice character. This guest house of a little way out of the centre and is exactly why we chose it, it is close enough but away from the hustle and bustle to allow peaceful down time. Room was very clean and plenty of hot water for the shower. Rahul and his team had been amazing to this point anyway, however I had been becoming unwell over a few days and on our last day there needed medical treatment. Rahul insisted on coming with us to the hospital and he remained with us throughout and he was so caring, he also ensured we understood everything we were being told and helped us navigate the hospital system. When my wife was called back to the hospital later in the evening he also accompanied her then. The chef when we got back was quite concerned and made a chai. I was totally humbled by his selflessness and the care to his guest and we are truly thankful for his help. It was a privilege to meet such a kind person.

+The view and staff were great
−Construction work on all levels of the building from 6am til 6pm and it will be going on for months by the looks of things Also a fair walk to Assi ghat (20mins) and not that pleasant of an area to walk through,no cafes reasturaunts or shops near by until Assi ghat

“Great experience”
+Room was clean and recently painted. Food was also properly cooked and price was reasonable. The surrounding is quiet in general. The place is near Assi Ghat where the morning and evening Aarti is held. Overall I had a great experience.
−The WiFi signal was weak in my room (because I got a corner room). I carry a travel router with me so it wasn't a problem though

“Big room but property needs an upgrade”
+The staff were lovely and the room was big
−The room wasn't very clean and the sheets had stains on them. The place would have looked much better with a coat of paint. Everything looked tired and old.

+I had a wonderful stay at Rahul Guesthouse in Varanasi. The place is very clean, comfortable, and has a calm and welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to relax after exploring the city. The rooms are well maintained and everything feels thoughtfully taken care of. What truly makes this place special is Rahul himself. He is incredibly kind, helpful, and always ready to assist with anything you might need , whether it’s travel tips, arranging transport, or simply making sure you feel at home. His hospitality really adds a personal touch to the stay. The location is also great for exploring Varanasi, while still being quiet enough to rest well. I highly recommend Rahul Guesthouse to anyone visiting Varanasi. It’s a warm, trustworthy, and comfortable place to stay, and I would definitely come back again.

+La posizione è davvero TOP considerando che si è a soli 10 Min a piedi da Assi Ghat, uno dei principali ghat in cui si svolgono gli aarti serali e mattutini con yoga e musica dal vivo. L'hotel inoltre offre un rooftop stupendo con servizio cucina davvero buono e disponibile e una terrazza ancora più alta dalla quale si vede tutto il Gange. La zona è residenziale e fuori dal traffico di motorini e tuktuk. Il personale è davvero gentile e disponibile per qualsiasi esigenza o bisogno. L'ultimo nostro giorno è piovuto e ci hanno lasciato gratuitamente la camera fino a metà pomeriggio all'arrivo del taxi. Abbiamo usufruito del servizio di laudry e il costo al kg è senza commissioni, quindi davvero onesti. Vestiti puliti e profumati in 24h. Offrono tanti altri servizi, basta chiedere!
−Nulla da dire! 5 giorni di relax e spiritualità in Varanasi.
