Stay in Someshwar

Varanasi

Stay in Someshwar enjoys a location in Varanasi, a 15-minute walk from Kedar Ghat and 0.8 miles from Harishchandra Ghat.

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

This has been the best place I have stayed at in India so far. It's very clean, the area is super quiet and the staff is so kind. They helped me to get some medical help when I needed and catered to my needs to get better quickly. I felt like I was staying with family.

Maa Durga is one of a kind! Vishnu is one of the most genuine, caring, kind,inspiring, knowledgeable, helpful and compassionate humans we have ever met in India! Our room was perfect, we slept like babies, the water hot and pressure was awesome! Location is prime, right off the Ghats but still quiet enough to get all the rest you need! Vishnu is known for his delicious chai and heartfelt conversation! He knows everything and everyone in Varanasi and can help you plan and execute your adventures with a quickness.. He truly cares about his guests and genuinely wants the best for you! If you want to go on a real adventure ask him about his street food tour, so awesome!! Over all we loved our stay and will always choose Maa Durga and Vishna when we visit Varanasi!!! Thank you for everything!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Wonderful Stay at Banaras Rest House! My experience at Banaras Rest House was nothing short of perfect! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel like family — warm smiles, genuine hospitality, and always ready to help with anything I needed. The location couldn’t be better — right in the heart of Varanasi, just a short walk from the ghats and the Ganga. I loved waking up early and taking a peaceful stroll by the river. The rest house itself is clean, beautifully maintained, and full of charm. My room was comfortable, well-ventilated, and had everything I needed for a relaxing stay. What really stood out was the calm and homely atmosphere — a perfect escape from the busy streets outside. The rooftop view of the Ganges during sunrise was absolutely breathtaking, and the staff even helped arrange a boat ride that became one of the highlights of my trip. If you’re looking for an affordable yet truly authentic stay in Varanasi, Banaras Rest House is the place to be. I’ll definitely stay here again and recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone visiting this incredible city! 🙏✨

Cozy guesthouse with 4 rooms in a family house ideally located near Assi Ghat. The room was pretty small, but was clean and quiet at night. The family lives on the first floor, a small communal space on the ground floor has two tables and a sofa. It's a nice spot to meet other guests and Sona, the host, will serve you her homemade fresh food here. We enjoyed our stay very much! Thank you Sona!
