Sahi River View Guest house

Friendly hosts, good location for stay on Assi Ghat, food options available, clean rooms, warm water all day

The entrance has some construction work going on, no charging socket near bed, only one socket in the room,

Best part was definitely the main property manager Jit, who was kind, warm, and helpful. His calm easy going demeanor was just a relief amidst the craziness of Varanasi. You can see Assi ghat and the Ganga from the rooftop. Our room didn't really have a window or a view, but because it was off the street it was actually pretty quiet. Not a lot of the best food, shopping, or sights are nearby, but a tuktuk up to the old city is just 100 rupees. Air conditioning worked well.

Shower was more of a thin drip, but at least it was hot! Sheets are small, and though we were sharing a bed we each got our own separate small twin sized sheet. You can probably get a cheaper place, and you can definitely get a nicer place, but this was a nice middle ground.

A humble, well-located place to stay, with caring, helpful staff.

Views are overstated and the rooms can lack exterior light. The hotel is quiet, and well-located, but to get to their protected spot you have to walk down several alleyways littered with food garbage and animal poop.

The staff are amazing and lovely. A++++ for friendliness and being helpful and the location is great.

It was great for the price. I wish I could have paid by card.
