Nice place on Varanasis standards. Nomus son was very friendly and helpful.

We really enjoyed our stay and even stayed for another night. The best part of the place is Monu, who will do anything to make you comfortable, answer a million questions and do everything else! The rooms are small and basic but the whole house is colorful and it just creates a cozy atmosphere. The only thing we were "missing" is that they don't have their own restaurant/breakfast, but that wasn't a big problem either because we just always went to the guest house next door for food (5 metres)!

Some of the best service that I've received in India! There isn't a/c, but the wifi always works and they have toilet paper. The pillows and mattress were very firm, but I think that's how a lot of hotels are in India. Very friendly, caring staff. They speak great English. The one issue is that my guide told me that they won't let guides pick up guests there, because they try really hard to push their own guides on guests. However, he said this is a problem with all guesthouses.

Monu was a great manager and personally helped us out with a bunch of stuff. The stay was worth it because of him. The only downside was that the beds were pretty dirty.

地方还不错,就是所处的位置真心也不太好找,建议第一次去的话还是让旅舍来接站比较好,因为里面的路tutu车也进不了,就会半路把你扔下,然后你就迷茫了,我都无法想象当时自己是如何的猪坚强找到了。。。熟悉了位置之后就会发现离ganga fuji饭店很近,离恒河主火祭位置也很近,去恒河闲逛也方便的。离有名的blue lassi也挺近的。老板人很nice,我们住在最顶上的那间大房间里,比较搜不到wifi,而且旅舍的wifi也不是那么稳定吧。

Nice family-run guesthouse, with colourful paint on all walls which gives it a lively and happy atmosphere. The small alley is a bit dodgy, but right in the middle of the old city, it contributes to the real 'varanasi'-experience! Friendly staff who helped us with laundry, booking train

Very decent guesthouse. Clean by indian standard. Location is 7mins walk to main ghat. No private bathroom attached. Wifi wasn't working very well when I was there.

I loved staying at Monu's - super clean, great location, very cozy bed. I felt safe, and relaxing in my room was a nice break from all-pervasive activity of Varanasi.

The guest house is situated really close to the ghats plus the Brown Bread Bakery and some other fab restaurants. It can be quite hard to find from the main roads so when arriving off the train then its worth while getting the guesthouse to pick you up. It is clean and the staff are really helpful. The owner/manager is just about to get a license in Tourism and then will run boat tours - he is really knowledgeable so I reckon his tours will be great. Would definitely recommend.
