Reviewed May 15, 2026Mi experiencia en Free Live Hostel fue muy buena. Lo que más me gustó fue la ubicación: está en una zona excelente, cerca de todo, pero al mismo tiempo el lugar es tranquilo, algo que se agradece mucho en una ciudad tan intensa como Varanasi. Las instalaciones son muy limpias y cómodas. Además, mantienen el aire acondicionado encendido y las habitaciones cuentan tanto con ventiladores generales como ventiladores individuales en cada cama, junto con luz y toma corriente personal, lo que hace la estadía mucho más cómoda. También quiero destacar la amabilidad de los administradores. Fueron muy cordiales y pacientes conmigo. Mi lengua materna es el español y, aunque estudio inglés, esta ha sido la primera vez que realmente lo pongo en práctica en un viaje, así que valoré mucho su disposición para ayudar y comunicarse.

Reviewed Mar 29, 2026The location is good, assi ghat is in the walkable distance plus you have many street food options. The hostel howercer was little disappointing, there was staff shortage, too many restrictions, no staff to help with luggage, they have common bathroom in each floor which is not very clean or hygienic, plus the beds were okay howercer keep in mind to bring your own lock to keep your stuff safe. Would not recommend this property however there are many othher good properties nearby.

Reviewed Mar 25, 2026- Hostel kindly helped us arrange a taxi from the airport and TukTuk to the train station. - Room was quiet enough once you were inside with the fan on. - located close to Assi Ghat but far from everything else. - Shower was warm and good pressure.
- Forced to pay before you see the room and then it’s non refundable once you see the condition. - Room was so dirty and not at all as expected. Mould on the pillows and the ceiling fan was filthy. - Was charged £72 for 3 nights - one of which we didn’t use because we were forced to check out a day early due to the condition. - No real windows and poor ventilation. - Bad drain smell. - On a loud street (but I think everywhere in Varanassi is). Really trying to be as fair as possible here! But charging this price for a room of this condition is not acceptable, and we were very disappointed.
