We felt really at home in this very nice guest house in Varanasi. The location is very good (close to assi the ghats) and the lady of the house Sona is wonderful. She helped us with arranging taxi from and to the airport and a boat trip on the Ganges. She learned us about Indian culture and we took a cooking class in which she learned us to make traditional Indian dishes like palak paneer and chana masala with her own delicious spice mixes. It was so interestjng that the next day we decided to take another one. She also makes great chai masala. Best place to stay in Varanasi and also if you’re not staying you can go for cooking classes at a very reasonable price.

Perfect Stay in the Heart of Varanasi!” I had an amazing experience at Kiarsh Residency. The location is unbeatable – just a short walk to Bhaironath Temple, Ganga Ghat (200 meters), and Vishwanath Temple (1 km). The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had all modern amenities like private kitchen, free Wi-Fi, and 24/7 CCTV security. The staff was very friendly and supportive throughout my stay. If you’re visiting Varanasi and want a peaceful yet central place to stay, I highly recommend Kiarsh Residency. Totally worth it!

I would highly recommend this property as the location is just perfect. It is very near to Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Ganges and even famous chaat places like Deena Chat and Kashi chat. And people who want to go for shopping will also have a lot of benefit as it's very near to most of the famous banarasi silk fabric/saree houses. Even commute vehicles are easily available to go anywhere. I must say that the stay was very comfortable and cleanliness was top notch. The hotel staff was very polite and cooperative. The host was in-fact very helpful in providing us so many recommendations of best places to visit, best eateries, shopping centers or any suggestions related to Varanasi, as me and my family were visiting here for the first time. I would say this hotel really offers everything you need in your stay at such nominal prices. Thank you CocoIn and Chaitanya for making our trip to Varanasi so memorable, we would love to come back and stay here again.

The property is quite away from the busy streets of Varanasi. It is peaceful. This is a family run business where the owner has also vehicles for hire. They were really honest where no vehicle was available, they allocate someone to help and to ensure that all prices are charged at the local rate. Food was amazing. The way they treat you is exceptional. You will feel at home here. Also due to the floods, there has internet issues which to compensate they provided me with their mobile hotspot until the issue is fixed. I came for rudra abishek and their son came personally to ensure that I was being looked after properly as I do not speak the local language. Defo a place to remember especially for the way they look after you and treat you like their own family. I was really really lucky to meet these guys!
