    First: You must bring your own padlock! You can buy one on the street for like Rs30. Nice place, great vibe, cool decor, friendly staff, nice social scene. Free breakfast is minimal (bananas, toast, butter, chutney, cereal, coffee, tea), though the lunch is really impressive (full balanced Indian meal). For me, a room with just a fan wasn't enough to sleep well in Varanasi summer heat, so consider a room with AC. Cafe on the roof is pretty tasty, though expensive by local standards.
