Stay in Someshwar

We were not served breakfast, so no comment. Location is prime, loved it. However, though nobody can help it, the alley paths are too narrow. Still a damn good experience without a doubt.

As we found the location to be an old part of Venarashi city, we have nothing to comment on what we didn't like, but the city authority has to focus on keeping the entire location clean and tidy. Kashi Vishwanath temple is a holy temple for Hindus. To sum up, together we enjoyed our stay at Someshwor. Keep it yp.

Clean and comfortable room in the best location I could imagine. The host is super nice and helpful. We had an amazing time and will defenitely come back!

I liked location most. Cleanliness was good

The hotel was close to a ghat and in the old section off the city. My room was clean, quiet, the ac worked perfectly. The owner and his son's were incredibly kind and customer service oriented. The hotel and room were very secure.

I didnt understand how far I would have to lug my baggage. I was unaware that taxis could not drive closer to this hotel. This was listed on the website, I was new to varanasi.

the staff has been so kind and helpful with us, the room was also very clean and with AC.

In some hours of the day it’s a little bit difficult to reach it cause it’s very close to some temples and sometimes there’s a lot of crowd.

Excellent Stay in the Heart of Kashi We had a wonderful stay at Stay in Someshwar, Kashi, and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Varanasi. The hotel's location is one of its biggest strengths. It is very centrally located, with Mani Mandir Ghat just a few seconds' walk away, making it incredibly convenient to enjoy boat rides on the Ganges and experience the vibrant atmosphere of the ghats. The hotel staff were exceptionally helpful, courteous, and knowledgeable. They provided valuable guidance on everything a tourist might need, from local attractions and transportation to places to visit, making our stay smooth and enjoyable. The rooms were very well maintained, clean, and comfortable, and the overall service was excellent throughout our stay. Another highlight is the Someshwar Temple, located directly opposite the hotel. It is a unique and peaceful temple where replicas of all twelve Jyotirlingas have been established, making it a wonderful place to visit without having to travel far. The surrounding area also has plenty to offer. There are several good cafés, eateries, and shopping options within walking distance, making it easy to explore the local culture, enjoy delicious food, and shop for souvenirs. Overall, Stay in Someshwar offers an excellent combination of location, hospitality, cleanliness, and convenience. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely choose it again on our next visit to Kashi.

ガンジス川から非常に近く、観光するにはとっても良かった。また、従業員の方も親切で安心してひとり旅することができました。

水周りが若干不便なのと、バスマット的なものが不衛生に感じられた。

スタッフの対応が素晴らしかった。常にこちらの状況を気にしてくれて、声をかけてくれたり、バナナなど欲しいものがあった場合には準備をしてくれたことあった。

ホテルメンバーのサービスが良かった。 常に何か必要ないか聞いてきてくれ、飲み物は常に冷えた状態で購入ができる。 24時間フロントサービスで、what’s upを利用すればいつでも来てくれる。 ガンジス川、特にイベントが行われるメインガートからすぐ近く、屋上からはガンジス川を垣間見ることができる。 ホテルの目の前が黄金寺院の列を作る場所で、早朝から並んでる人々の声がする。それを文化や経験と思える方は良いし、ゆっくり寝たい方は起きてしまうもしれない。

トイレがもう少し綺麗だと嬉しかった。横の部屋と換気扇越しに繋がっていて、匂いも気になった。

Hotel owners were extremely helpful. They were like more than a guide and helped to plan the entire day and arranged transportation for long trips. Property is right on Man Mandir Ghat and main Ganga Aarti is just few steps away. Navigating through the narrow lanes of Varanasi could be tricky, Google Maps was wrong most of the times but if you call the hotel, they will guide you step by step.

Kashi temple area is going through a major change and city has cordoned off a km radius area around the temple and blocked 4 wheeler access. So remember to pack light, because you may have to walk few hundred meters to get to your hotel, if it is closer to ghat area. This Hotel owner helped me to carry my luggage to the Uber pickup point, am so grateful.

Good

Very near the temple

I loved the cleanliness of the place. The host is very nice and goes extra miles for his guests. Location is beautiful. Spend some time at the bank of the river and when you're done, you just go a few flight of stairs and you're in your hotel. I have stayed here 6-7 times, this alone should say how nice it is.

スタッフがよく気づかってくれて 朝早くの要求にも対応してくれた。

Очень приветливые хозяева, всегда были готовы помочь, помогли добраться до отеля через оживлённые улицы города. Рядом с гостевым домом буквально за углом - знаменитый ресторан Dolphin, где всегда можно перекусить. Тут же берег Ганга, и до гхата Маникарника недалеко. Отличный вариант, чтобы остановиться в Варанаси.

Особых недостатков нет, но нужно отметить, что гостевой дом находится в очень оживлённом месте, и шумы с улицы могут мешать спать. Ещё телевизор не принимал каналы, но зато можно было смотреть видео на YouTube.

Close proximity to Temple and Ghat

The owned were very helpful and accommodating. The room was very comfy and in a great location. Rooftop was also nice!

Close to the main Ghats and Vishwanath temple, this clean hotel was a perfect base for our 4 day Kashi trip. The two wonderful brothers who own and manage the property made us feel at home and were around 24/7 to help us through the stay.

Beyond the control of the hotel, watch out for the long winding queue from 5:30 to 9:30 in the morning to the nearby temple. Take help from the owners if you need help to find your way, they are more than happy to help.

The location was great and the service and recommendations of the two brothers were very helpful. We felt safe and welcomed. We will definitely come back and would recommend it to everyone.

There is a temple near by and it can be very crowded in the area but you should be aware of that in general. It is worth it because the location is great.

Very clean and comfortable. Our room was quiet at night even though the location is right in the middle of the action. The Hotel owners were fantastic. This is the nicest place in Varanasi. I have stayed at. So very close to the ghats yet so peaceful once inside. Thank you for a fantastic stay

There is nothing to dislike about this property

Hôtel superbement placé au bord du Gange pour accéder à tous les gaths importants, célébration du coucher et lever du soleil, crémations. Les deux jeunes frères qui gèrent l'établissement sont adorables. Ils sont serviables, parlent bien l'anglais et utilisent le traducteur de Google afin que l'on communique bien. Ils n'hésitent pas à se lever à 5h du matin pour ouvrir leur établissement afin qu'on puisse assister à la cérémonie du lever du soleil. Ils nous ont trouvé et accompagné au taxi pour nous rendre à l'aéroport. On recommande fortement cet hôtel.

Cet hôtel n'est accessible qu'à pieds. Le tuk tuk nous laisse à 200m.

Situated in very good location

Really nice stay here. I stayed at the start of Holi festival, so place was mental! Very comfortable room with lots of restaurant near by. Owner was very nice. Very central to Gats etc.

It was a bit hard to find. Tucked away on a street. But not a big issues

No food service available there. We managed it ourselves

Nothing to specify

Very kind and friendly owner. Felt very much at home. They took great care of me and showed me local highlights.

Nothing! Would come back any time again.

L'hôtel est serviable et accueillant. Son logement est placé près des ghats. La chambre et la salle de bains sont très petites. Climatisation.

Le logement est difficilement accessible avec des bagages. Les tuk tuk et les richcaws n'arrivent pas au logement car la ruelle est trop étroite. Nos bagages sont répartis en fauteuil roulant... Le logement est dans une ruelle qui permet l'accès à un temple. De ce fait, tous les matins les gens font la queue de 5 h 30 à 9 h 30 avec beaucoup de bruit et il impossible de sortir.

Prince et son père sont des personnes charmantes et aidantes.

Les chambres ont besoin d'un bon coup de renouveau. Temple important près de l'hôtel donc beaucoup de bruit au levée du soleil. Si vous n'avez pas besoin de dormir , c'est parfait pour vous.

Chambre minuscule mais très propre ainsi que la salle de bain. L'emplacement est parfait si on cherche à s'immerger dans l'ambiance si particulière de Varanasi. Accueil super, tout est fait pour nous aider.

オーナーがとても優しく丁寧で色々親身になって教えて下さいました。ガンジス川のすぐ近くなので、火葬場見学やガンジス川のボートに乗りたい方におすすめです。私達が泊まったお部屋は小さいですが清潔で、お湯もしっかり出ます。

ありません

Good behaviour of Uncle and his sons, that's the only positive part.

Location, staff

VERY NICE LOCATION.NEAR TO ALL PLACES. OWNERS ARE VERY COOPERATIVE. VERY HUMBLE. ALWAYS ASK DURING MY STAY FOR ANY IN CONVENIENCE. I WILL PREFER AGAIN TO STAY HERE WHEN I WILL COME AGAIN.

NICE HOSPILITY.

Sehr zuvorkommendes und hilfsbreites Personal. Das macht den Aufenthalt gleich viel angenehmet

alles ok

Closed to main Ghat.Neare by main market.

Due to security reason restricted area, need to walk to reach PG

夜到着が遅いにも関わらず対応してくれ、とてもありがたかったです。水も無料でくれますし、おすすめの観光地やレストランなども教えてくれます。Wi-Fiも早いです

特にありません

Staff devansh sharma was very helpful.

Location

The staff is really good and supportive and helps a lot to understand the area

Nothing

There location is at close proximity to all temples. The host was also very helpful suggesting the right locations and food joints. We enjoyed the whole experience

None

Rooms and washrooms were neat and clean. The staff was very co-operative and polite.

The host was very humble & treated us like home

Steep & narrow staircase, but no problem

Poměr cena/výkon + velmi příjemný personál + lokalita

Vše OK

Przede wszystkim wspaniała rodzina właścicieli, wszyscy bardzo pomocni, czuliśmy ogromne ciepło .Wielokrotnie nam pomogli, odbierając nas skuterami czy też odprowadzając na taksówkę. Obiekt jest położony bardzo blisko rzeki.

ダシャーシュワメード・ガートからも近くロケーションは良い。スタッフも大変親切だった。部屋も快適だった。次回行く機会があってもまたここに泊まりたい。

朝出かけようと思っても24時間ドアを開けてもらい外に出られるわけではないので交渉が必要。特に朝ボートに乗りたい場合は特に気を付けて確認したほうが良い。

1.Excellent location just beside the Ganges 2. Excellent hospitality from the staff 3 . Regular follow up and guidance to get to the property as soon as I landed

Perfect location right on the ghats. Staff incredibly polite and helpful, but zero hassle. Rooms were cosy and comfortable with excellent AC, kettle and TV. Internet was excellent. I would stay again.

Maybe a little bit expensive, but not bad at all. Didn't bother me but worth noting that the ghats have no road access so you have to walk in. Worth it though.

Very close to the ghats

Nothing

The small hotel is located a minute's walk from the legendary Ganges River. Three minutes walk from the central and most famous Ghat where every day in the evening the Aarti ceremony takes place. That alone is attractive to stay there. The second attraction is the price which was quite low. But when choosing cheap accommodation we have to accept all the negatives that any will exist and are pretty much known, which is why I find no point in describing them. The reception guys were very polite. Stay here and feel the energy of the river. If you are of the more comfortable type then it may not be for you.

the location is 2 metres near the ghats and the staff is helpful

its not possible to find a not noisy rooms near the ghat , so, nothing to complain

the room booked was spacious and clean. Owner was very polite and helpful. The location is close to the vishwanath temple and the ghats. The path to reach hostel can be a bit confusing but it is not a deal breaker. Definitely will visit again.

no complaints as such.

I’m so happy I’ve chosen this guesthouse for my travel. The first advantage is location of course. This part of city can go by walk or by bike only so it was so important to stay in convenient area. Room wan cleaned good and everything was neat. Owner and his sons were so kind and helpful. They do all requests so good. One son of owner even helped me to go one very ancient temple very early because I couldn’t get there alone. Very good restaurant Dolphin just on the side of hotel. My first travel to Varanasi was amazing and mostly of this hotel. Probably next time I’ll stay here also. I recommend to chose this hotel

Sometimes people with hot water

Small place but cosy. Staff takes care just like your family.

- Location was great, just by the ghats - The staff was super helpful and caring. My parents traveled with another set of relatives and the folks at the hotel took care in (a) receiving them early, (b) providing a room early, and (c) showing up if they needed anything Thank you!

Hospitality was good. Staffs were very cooperative. Location was perfect.

Host was excellent. Beautiful location in this budget . Very neet and clean

The room and bathroom were clean. There’s a window facing outside, which is quite rare in Varanasi’s old city. The bathroom was clean and comfortable, with reliable hot water. The Wi-Fi worked great, and the bed was large and very comfortable, with clean bedsheets. The owner was friendly, helpful, and always available, making sure that guests were satisfied and everything was in order. The location is fantastic — very close to the river and situated in an extremely authentic alleyway. There are great restaurants within walking distance, and just outside the guesthouse, there are small, charming temples that add to the authentic vibe of the place.

Out of the three rooms, two are extremely small. In my mind they are simply too small for a couple. The big room is very nice. Regarding the noise mentioned in other reviews: it should be very clear, from 5AM it is almost impossible to sleep unless you have really good earplugs.

The hotel is situated at the ghat side with very close proximity to Kashi Vishwanath temple and the nearby market. You can just walk for 2 mins to watch the ganga arati as well. The hospitality by the owner and his two sons were exceptional. This property is highly recommended if you are planning a trip to Varanasi.

Nothing that I can think about.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The rooms were super clean and very comfortable. Moreover the behaviour of the hotel owners was really great and they were very responsive to all of our queries. I would highly recommend this to everyone of you guys, specially one who is looking to stay near the ghats.

Property is situated near Dolphin restaurant. It would be easier to reach hotel by river side.

The staff were very helpful. Fabulous location! Room was perfect. There was a queue to the temple in the morning for two hours but for me this was lovely to hear the chitter chatter. Real India. Very much recommended and great value. 👍🏻

The hotel was perfectly located near the kashi temple and the ghat. Mr Praveen and Divyanshu were very helpful.

The bathroom facilities could be better. Mr Praveen was informed about it. He accepted that the issue will be looked into asap

Stayed for two days. Divyanshu came to the streets to receive us at 11.45pm when we were struggling in the crowd to find the place. He also arranged a place for a foreign lady who accompanied us from the airport as her booking had got cancelled and she was unable to find another accommodation at that late hour. He is the perfect host willing to help in all situations. The location is perfect for visit to the Ghats and Temples which are all nearby.

Great and friendly host. Just few steps away from dashashwamedh ghat where divine ganga aarti happens. Serene views. Highly recommended.

Access to location, but walking the narrow streets is fun.

Aishwarya Sharma's hospitality is very good. He is a good host. Stay is very comfortable and clean. Location is close to prominent ghats. Thank you.

1. Polite behaviour of staff 2. Clean toilet 3. Clean bed

1. Reaching the location is tough due to kumbh restrictions

The owner and his two sons especially Aiswarya are very nice people. Due to huge rush and 14 hours of late running of train we reached at 01:00 am Aiswarya came and received us. The owner and his sons are really nice. Location is fantastic. God bless 🙏

Very nice

Nothing

Location of the property, it's just couple of steps away from the ghat. You can spend hours and hours there. Everything is just next to you right from Baba Kashi Vishwanath temple to all ghats. The owners, both brothers and their father are true humans, very humble, polite, helpful and smiling. They will ensure that you are their extended family and not customer, though they are running commercial property.

Place little congested, but I think entire Varanasi ghat has similar thing, so no complaint

Cleanliness was good and courteous staff

Nothing as everything was good

The hospitality and personal care was fabulous

Location is fantastic. Everything is close to walkable distance. Staff are very helpful that made my stay even better. I would stay here again if I revisit Varanasi.

Maintenance and near to all temples and river owner is so good and helped in guiding

Location and fantastic host

Not applicable

The hosts are very accommodating and professional at the same time. We reached at 5AM in the morning and they made us feel comfortable by offering a space to rest and freshen up though our check-in was at 12PM. Rooms are simple yet comfortable and tidy. Location is the best thing. A few mins walk to Dhashaswamedh ghat and Manikarnika ghat. Very close to Kashi Vishwanath temple as well. Also, the host is informative about the places for local sightseeing and you will have a good time planning your itinerary with them. Felt the prices can be made more affordable at least for somebody who wants to stay in kashi for longer periods of time.

Owner is gentleman.

The staff support is amazing. Since I did visit on peak day when Varanasi was crowded - the property team very in frequent contact and escorted to the location coming to the common location meeting point. Rooms are well maintained and worth. I recommend this property is a wise choice for Family stay or solo stay….

Price is quite heavy - may be due to the peak season - charging 2.8k for a person is quite heavy budget for the room.

I'd happily give Someshwar a perfect 10/10 score! During Kumbh Mela, my friends and I visited Varanasi, navigating through jam-packed roads and restrictions. Despite the chaos, Harshit and Divyanshu ensured our safe arrival and departure, even walking 30 minutes to escort us to and from the hotel. Their exceptional service didn't stop there. They accompanied us through Varanasi's narrow lanes, helping us with darshans at Maa Varahi, Maa Vishalakshi, Kala Bhairava, and Dundee Ganapathi temples. The hotel's prime location, near Ganga Ghat, Varahi Mandir, and Maa Visalakshi Mandir, Ganga Arthi at Dasaswamedh ghat was an added bonus. As a cleanliness enthusiast, I was impressed with the hotel's decent rooms and spotless bathrooms. Kudos to Harshit, Divyanshu, and their father for their outstanding hospitality! Someshwar truly exceeded our expectations.

Stairs going to first floor but that's least of the advantages we get with hotel

The location is superb. One row behind the Man mandir ghat right next to Dashawashmedh Ghat. Baba Bishwanath ji mandir is in the corner.  Behavior of the staff and the family of the owner was superb. They were helpful in every manner.  Kashi was super crowded during the MahaKumbh period and they walked us till the girza ghar chowk and found us Riksaw at bargained rate while leaving. Value for money. If you want to stay right on the ghats and dont want to spend a fortune then this is the place.

We took two double bed rooms with private bathroom. One of them had a shared ventilation window with another room's bathroom. So when the other guests did not keep their bathroom clean we got the stink in ours as well. The owners told they have a plan to fix it very fast. The other room did not have this issue.

The hosts were very cooperative and helpful

The location is excellent it is hardly a minute walk from Dashavmedh ghat. So if you want something close to ghats and ganga arti this is the place to be. Divyanshu and Aishwarya, both were incredibly helpful. Due to unexpected change in our trip. We end up being there at 6 in the morning. We went there to drop our bags, but Divyanshu very kindly took us in and let us stay until our room was ready. That is 6 hour before scheduled check-in time. How generous of them. The place provide you a true homestay experience. Please keep in mind it can be a bit noisy on certain time of the day mostly in the morning around 8 as there is a temple on the other side of the road. But the whole area around the ghats is so conjusted I am sure you are going to have some noise from somewhere wherever you stay.

Friendly staff & a great location

An extra blanket or heater would have been welcome as Varanasi was cold. I had to leave early at 6:30am on both mornings and alerted staff about this but it took a while to get them up to unlock the front door each time which was a pain.

Very polite and friendly hosts. Located directly next to the ghats

Rooms were a little bit small for two persons

Stay in Someshwar has it all: amazing quiet location, kind and generous hosts, clean rooms with all facilities. The location is superb: at the top of the stairs for the Dashashwamedh ghat and close to all of the action on the main road, which is filled with shops and restaurants. It’s only a one-minute walk to the evening aarti. Our hosts arranged a morning aarti boat ride, changed our money, provided a space heater when we were cold (it was January), and gave us plenty of recommendations. I fell ill while I was there and the brothers took me to their family doctor and I am so grateful. You’ll feel like part of the family yourself when you stay there—highly appreciated and recommended
