Akash

I recently stayed at Townhouse Vishwanath Temple and had a very good experience. The location is excellent – just a short walk to Kashi Vishwanath Temple and Dashashwamedh Ghat, which made my trip very convenient. Rooms were neat, modern, and comfortable with all basic amenities. The staff was polite, helpful, and guided me well for local sightseeing and transportation.

Australia

I'm Australian and visited during the low season and had the most incredible stay — it honestly felt like this family had a magic wand hidden somewhere. Every little problem I brought with me, they solved with such kindness and ease. From helping me get tailored clothes made, to fixing the screen on my phone, to preparing the most delicious meals, to even arranging a local traveler to accompany me to the ghats — they thought of everything. Mohit’s wife cooks the most amazing food, with a huge variety of delicious home-style Indian dishes. I probably ate 70% of my meals here, and every bite was a treat! As a solo woman traveler, I felt completely safe and cared for. When I ran into trouble with a bad Uber driver, they stepped in right away and sorted it out without hesitation. Whatever was on my to-do list, they somehow made it happen. Their home is full of warmth, laughter, and the sweetest little girls you’ll instantly fall in love with. Mohit’s mother also carries such wisdom and clarity in her words that, even when she spoke in Hindi, I found myself understanding. They’re wonderfully creative too — they hand painted uplifting murals to brighten the walls, from a cute panda to a serene Buddha, and they’ve even made cozy seats out of recycled tyre wheels. In the evenings, the open terrace is the perfect place to sit, while doves that have been nesting there for over five years coo gently in the background. The family also runs a small shop, so snacks and drinks are always within easy reach. Compared to the bustle of the city, this place is peaceful and quiet, yet still just a short walk from the Buddhist temples in Sarnath. The rooms are comfortable, with options to suit everyone — from dorms to single rooms and larger family spaces. Truly, this is the BEST place I have ever stayed. If you’re looking for safety, comfort, care, and unforgettable hospitality, look no further — you’ll find it here.

It is a new hostel and not very crowded, there is no vibe but I don’t mind that because I enjoy my quiet time and want to have a good sleep. There is AC and fan in the room. Staff are very helpful and present all the time. There is a small outdoor common area, quite cute. Towel is provided.

From

Netherlands

The house has a beautiful antique interior of 200 years old. It feels like going back in time. The house has two rooms, a shared living room and a fully equipped kitchen. The host, Amit, is a wonderful honest guy, he picked us up from the airport late at night while our flight was delayed. He is there whenever you need him but he knows how to respect your privacy. The location is close to the old city center.
