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

we booked this homestay 2 months before our arrival, the owner arranged pick up from airport, very nice guest house good staff and excellent roof top for relaxing, nice view and food, very basic and this place is run by an awesome family who will help you when ever you want

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

This was one of the few places in India we stayed where the people running the guest house were actually helpful and friendly. They gave good advice and suggestions when we asked, they went out of their way to help us with anything we needed, and the location was much better than some of the other guest houses we saw....

We stayed for 3 nights. We were welcomed warmly by the man at the front desk which was lovely. Our room was a good size and the bathroom was clean when we arrived. I agree with another reviewer commenting on the bugs in the room and the squished bugs all over the wall. If these hadn't been there I would... More

We arrived during the day and everything was looking good. Hotel was down a little ally away from the Assi ghat and a good 15 minute walk from the main ghats. We were given a key, told to follow the boy so that we could drop our bags in the room then go to the roof top for some chai... More
