Kedareswar Bed and Breakfast

Clean room, great view, lovely staff.

Rooms vary a lot, we stayed in 3 different ones for about R2,000 (£17.50) a night for two inc small breakfast. The best rooms are large with relatively good facilities for the price. Some have fridges. The small non a/c rooms are noisy from the temple next door. Relatively clean by budget Indian standards. On the positive side: staff were very obliging, it’s a great location and there’s an excellent shared terrace overlooking the ghats along the Ganges. The Mona Lisa cafe up the lane serves nice traveller food and there are terrific R10 samosas freshly cooked on the corner by the hotel. Watch out for the hungry monkeys.

The staff are very helpful and will do anything to help and make you feel at home. It is run by a family of three brothers. I had the top room. The terrace was up there too so easy access. If you’re been to India before you will enjoy it here. The view of the Ganga river is amazing. If it a first visit to India you may be shocked at his basic things are at the hotel. Lovely staff. Helpful. Breakfast is nice on the terrace. I had the honey banana pancake every day with a pot of tea and warmed milk. The bed was a little hard. The bed linen was clean The pillows are basic. The floor is clean There is a small fridge. The only negative is the standard of cleanliness/cleaning in the room. It definitely needs improvement but the lovely staff made up for this. Just a note….. the stairs are very steep so not suitable for anyone with mobility issues.

親切で日本語が堪能なスタッフがいらっしゃって、ボートツアーやガイド等、安心してお願いできます。 部屋からガンジス川の朝日を眺められる素晴らしいロケーションでした。 朝食も美味しかったです。 またバラナシに行った際は泊まりたいです。

ガンジス川のすぐ側の良い宿でした。部屋も清潔。スタッフの方も親切で、必要以上の干渉やセールスもなく、快適でした。 スタッフの方が日本語が上手でした。

The property is in a good location right on the river bank with direct access to the local food stalls and ghats. But the place was tired and run down, and a little dirty. What really let this place down was the lack of ammenities, no kettle, cups,glasses, old worn towels and sheets, broken chairs and tables on the terrace (but breakfast was good) unreliable wifi…and no data coverage on the bottom floor, toilet cistern would not fill. Understand it was only $60 per night but basic amenities were missing

Lo unico bueno fue el hotel, porque estaba muy limpio y el dueño hablaba en inglés. Pero la zona es horrible y a un lado habia personas tocando tambores y haciendo mucho ruido.

We had a room with river view which was lovely. Air conditioner worked well and also had a fan. Hotel staff extremely helpful and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Bed comfortable and shower was very good. Breakfast included which we picked off of a menu. First day raining so we had in our room, second day on the roof top which had great view. After contacting them prior to staying they organised shuttle from airport and return as you can not park close to the B&B. Short walk to lots of restaurant options also and shops for tourist stuff for chemist etc all within easy reach. Would definitely return and recommend.

Room is OK. Staffs are really friendly.

Conveniently located guest house overlooking Chauki Ghat. The staff were friendly and helpful, and a good breakfast was provided. The management were very keen to organise a transfer from the train station, although we suspect we may have paid over the odds for it.

Room conditions are very good.

The location is excellent near the river. Be prepared to wind through the maze of streets yo get to property because a rickshaw can't take you all the way. The staff was very helpful in booking rickshaws and a tour to Sarnath. They were very friendly. Breakfast was delicious on the terrace looking over the river.

Buona posizione sui ghats, personale gentile, buona colazione, bella vista dal terrazzo

店主は日本語堪能で、スタッフ皆大変親切です。お湯もしっかりでますし部屋も綺麗です。部屋からガンジス川が見えるので最高です。 バラナシには何回か来ていますが今までで1番いいホテルでした。またバラナシにくることがあれば間違いなくこのホテルです。

Amazing place for the most reasonable price among many hotels and guest houses in Varanasi. I travelled alone and was afraid to face bad behavior, not so clean rooms and other problems. But the team of Kedareswar BB is doing the amazing job! The hotel is on the Ghat that is super easily reachable both from the big road, and from the river side. The location is super safe and spacious, so you will not get lost or scared by narrow streets. And you can enjoy Ganga view in the mornings right from the hotel's rooftop or your window. The hotel is super clean and neat, and the team, Pintu and Mintu bothers are real gentlemen, that control the high class service, atmosphere and attitude to tourists in the hotel, by its staff and service workers. Rooms are neat, hot water is always there and working well. Internet, lights and anti mosquitos devices are at your disposal. Importantly, the team really helps. They always talk to tourists, explain locality and some context that you may no know. They recommend you where to go, to eat or drink, can help organizing the boat on Ganga river and taxi and many other things. They do it because they care, not because they want to get your budget for senseless activities, no. Pintu and Mintu are really nice people that do not overcharge or lie. I enjoyed my stay and I want to come back. I am super grateful for the team, the family of owners of the hotel for being nice people and providing incredible experience in incredible India! Good luck!

スタッフが親切で、オーナーは日本語が堪能。困った時も助けてくれました。また泊まりたいゲストハウスです！

スタッフの方は、英語の他に日本語も話せるため、安心できました。朝食も付いており、オムレツが美味しかったです！屋上からはガンジス川がいつでも眺められるため、立地も非常に良い印象でした。 また、観光スポットやバスの予約などのお手伝いもしていただき、非常に良かったです！

They gave us the top floor room, and there was also the terrace where we had breakfast every day with the view of the Ganges. LOVED our firstcontinental breakfast (which was included in the accommodation) after having Indian food for every meal (because we loved it so much), and loved the choices they gave you, between different styles omelettes,yogurt, toasts, etc. Rooms weren't the biggest, but has been one of our favourites of the entire India trip (one of the coziest for sure). Loved that it was right on the Ganges, and very convenient location to explore the Ghats. The cozy blankets were a nice touch for the cold nights. Staff was very nice as well. Truly recommend this place!!

Kedareswar is situated on the Ganges river ghats with an exceptional view from its river-facing rooms and rooftop terrace (where breakfast is served), located deep in the city's labyrinth of lanes, a great location not too near the noisy center of Dasashwamedh/Godolia but still walking distance. Its rooms and beds are simple but do have air conditioning, wifi, and round the clock hot water, all appreciated. The staff is incredibly helpful and kind. Breakfasts were great.

Location is convenient by the Ghats. This place is run by all guys, there are no women working there. The bathroom situation is odd, when you have a shower the floor stays wet so later when you use the facilities you must walk on a cold wet floor. I was grateful for lots of hot water for showers however. Some of the guys were friendly & others were difficult & I tried to avoid them. I don’t think that they understand how to clean floors ie like use hot water & soap & clean rags. You will see for example them drying the floor rags that are filthy to use for next time. You can eat on a roof top with a view but you must tolerate one of the kitchen guys standing next to you picking his nose or worse things with his nose while you try to swallow your breakfast. I will not be back.
