Well worth your money”
Firstly, Hostelavie is located at a perfect place in Varanasi. The ghat it is located close to is peaceful, and it's just a couple mins walk away. Secondly, the hostel is beautiful, clean and well maintained. There are multiple common areas to hang out in. The rooftop is excellent to chill at also. Furthermore, they provide free laundry service, free breakfast and they allow guests to hang around after check out until your train or flight time. For all that they provide and the quality of the rooms and guesthouse, the price is more than reasonable. We were very happy with our stay.

Great quiet oasis amidst the crazy varanasi”
Location is great as it's close to the river. Free laundry, very good wifi. You can see the river on the rooftop. Breakfast was great (fruit, toast, omelette, chai). We booked the sunrise boat tour and the walking tour with them. Good value, good price, great as you get picked up and dropped off the hostel. Staff very helpful. Just a bit difficult to get to so try to arrive before dark. Tuktuk/taxi can't go all the way in. Make sure hostel is saved on your maps. Regular power cut (AC/hot shower) but that's from the city. Other than that, we had a good stay.

Friendly staff and positive vibes”
We stayed at the hostel for two days and our experience was wonderful there. The location is walking distance from the main ghat. The staff were very friendly and helpful. You could set up your guide, request for taxi or rickshaw from the manager. There’s food that you can order from the kitchen and laundry service is available for free. Enjoy your stay!

Amazing Hostel situated a few metres away from the Ghats”
We had a lovely stay at this hostel. The staff was kind enough to share the places to visit around in Varanasi for great breakfast. They have a beautiful rooftop with the view of the ghats as well. Must stay here if you're looking for a budget stay close to the ghats.

The best hostel we’ve been ”
1. The staff is super friendly and always trying to help you out. Thanks Viky for all your help. 2. They let us stay for 2 nights more in our room beside being fully booked. 3. The breakfast is good and they don’t mind doing it even if you come a bit late. 4. There is free laundry service and they even take your clothes out of the machine when it’s finished so you don’t need to come back to the hotel to do it yourself. 5. The area is very quiet but at the same time distance walking from the ghats and the Main Street. 6. They can organize any kind of service or your you need for no extra charge. For example boat riding, city tour or silk factory visit for a very good price. We spent NY Eve there and to our surprise, there was live music with local drummers. People danced and raved meanwhile we entered the New Year. It was absolutely fantastic! Would return today if I had chance!

Exceptional”
Staff great and friendly and also funny. Nice to escape the chaos of Varanasi and just chill and speak to the staff. Beds are standard for a hostel, not the most comfortable. Room clean and with fan + AC = comfortable! Nice to have breakfast included. All in all, would recommend

Great backpacker hostel. Mostly dorms, but some rooms with bathrooms (which we had). ”
Staff were amazing. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and always with a smile. Breakfast was fine, and set us up for the day. Location close to the Ghats, and a short stroll through the lanes to the old town, plenty of good eating places and chai places at really low prices. Thanks guys!

Cheap dorm room”
It was a cheap dorm room. No toilet paper and fans. So it was simple but good for a simple stay. Outside, the court is nice. You have free laundry which is nice.

Excellent Hostel”
It is a great Budget place to stay. It is very close to the water and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Good Wifi and also there is a nice sitting area. The free breakfast is average. They also have a facility for doing your laundry for free which is a great bonus for a traveler. It is clean though the living quarters are quite cramped. If that is fine it is surely the place to go to.
