Rashmi Guest House

Best location if you are visiting Vishwanth temple. Within a few minutes of the temple and Dashaswamed Ghat. There are rooms overlooking the Ganges which are slightly more expensive . The rooms have AC, wireless and importantly an electric kettle for morning tea. Maybe a little small but good enough for a couple. Staff are super helpful. The manager Mr Sanjeev is a wonderful person and goes all out to make sure that guests are comfortable. The hotel has a restaurant-Dolphin - that serves a variety of dishes, both Indian and Western. Food is very tasty and reasonably priced. The restaurant staff are also very helpful. View from the restaurant overlooks the Ganges. The boats are anchored just outside and below the restaurant. Don’t be put off by the narrow bylanes one has to walk through to get to the hotel. This is a very ancient part of the town and if you want to experience the flavours of the city then this too is part of it. One thing to be aware of is that taxis are not allowed into this part of the city. One has to get off at PDR mall and take a rickshaw. In our case the manager sent his staff to guide us from the taxi drop off point to the hotel. They also helped with the luggage. Traveling with too much luggage isn’t recommended since there is some 15 min walking required. We saw many foreign guests at the hotel. Overall I’d recommend this highly for location accessibility to major attractions and for helpful staff and room views.

Just fabulous a 10/10 I was travelling solo and everyone out there made me feel that I am home. Exceptional service at any point... I guess everyone in this hotel works 24/7 for their customers. Everything here is so well connected like all the ghats, the temple, the spot where Ganga mata's Aarti is organised everyday. The place is so beautiful I have taken a lot of memories from there. Uncle - Manager comes with amazing experience and he is very knowledgeable. He shared a lot of information on the origination and power the temple holds. Baiju is a classic example for being fantastic customer service specialist. He always ensured if I was comfortable with the stay. He gave lot of ideas on the eatables the hotel had to offer. He also gave multiple options and details for me to step out and move around. Time and again he checked on me if I was fine or if any medication is required. People here are very grounded and humble. Hotel has amazing food. Mix vegetable fried rice is a must try and a ghee ka tadka wala daal. OMG overall for me it was a 10/10 experience. My second home.

If you are game for navigating the narrow by lanes, sadhus & cows of Varanasi to reach this hotel on the bank of Ganges right on Manmandir ghat, you will be greeted with the most amazing view of the river with idyllic boat cruisers, the many faithful taking a holy dip and the many temples that underline the century old saga of Varanasi as the holy city for Hindus. We had stayed at their best room on the 4th floor (my 2nd time) and this has become my preferred place of stay especially after they installed an elevator. The food @ Dolphin restaurant is very good and the staff attentive and cordial - I need to specially call out Mr. Sanjeev for his hospitality and personal tour of several temples as well as shops for the iconic banarasi saree. Recommend to every kind of traveller for a fulfilling experience!

If you catch a boat from Namo Ghat with your luggage to reach here, Rashmi Guest House is the best place to stay in Varanasi with the best reach to everything around. The view from the terrace is just awesome.

Location is unique. Right on the bank of Ganga. We stayed in Room 203 for 3 days and enjoyed sunrise through super large window. The Ganga was coloured with the morning glory of sun. The approach from motorable road is through slim typical Varanashi Gali but through these Galis people travelled 3000 years ago. Amazing. You don’t have to travel anywhere to see Ganga. She is just 70 steps down from hotel. Dining place is unique and food was tasty. Staff were helpful. Manager-Faizan was excellent.

Very nice, friendly place, I am very grateful to the whole team of this hotel 🙏🏼 It was comfortable, calm, convenient, reliable. There was a lot of help from the staff, they even helped us to make a personal route to the significant places of Varanasi, they organized a boat trip on the Ganges for us, for which special thanks. The hotel also has a wonderful restaurant two minutes away with a view of the Ganges, delicious and with soul.

Perfect location, good restaurant, helpful and friendly staff: Sanjeev is a really nice people and we're always happy to talk to him; Golu is patient and help us a lot while we lost our passports. They're excellent. Varanasi is charming, the people here is warm and make us want to visit again☺️
