Everything! Mohit took really great care of me during my time here. This was truly a home away from home. Mohit is funny, accommodating, caring, what a human being he is.

Inka Kashi was an awesome stay! The place was spacious and comfortable, with a fair price and easy access to Assi Ghat. I had a private room which was massive with a comfy bed, clean hot shower and strong fair/AC. The cafe upstairs had tasty and reasonably priced food too. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay, sharing information about the accommodation, tips about the Kashi, or just a pleasant conversation. I would definitely recommend this spot!

I had a wonderful stay at Sair hostel! It's a very new hostel, so don't let the small number of reviews scare you off. It's a small hostel, which is good, a warmer atmosphere, you can meet other people. And the staff is amazing and they're trying to create a friendly social atmosphere, more like a community thing, where you do things together. The hostel itself is nice, freshly renovated, very clean and tidy, the dorms have everything you need. And the location is great, near Assi ghat! Plus there's a very cute rooftop area, where you can chill or hang out with others. Would recommend this hostel to anyone, especially solo travellers! :)

The location- close enough to the ghats and old city attractions. The staff made me feel completely at home. Everyone was friendly, welcoming and always ready to help with directions. The property is well maintained, thoughtfully designed. The rooms were spotless and very cozy. Everything was perfect.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
