バラナシに訪れたらここに滞在することをお勧めします。 特にありませんでした。

- Anurag (7/5): -
- Rebecca (9/5): - Staff was very friendly and helped me with different local things.
They have a nice shared room, to hang out during the day.
Room was clean The room was a bit smelly but it was clean and definitely valuable for money!
- Anish (8/5): - It’s near Shivala Ghat and assi. Prices are decent too. Cleanliness could be better.
- Sivaganga (8/5): -
- Arnold (7/5): - the beds, toilet, good electricity plugs, good light in the room (also blue for not waking up otgers) the ac was on 18degrees and tgey didnt have any remote control to change that (!), many mosquitos in the community area cause the door is open always
- mishra (7/5): - Pricing was good, corporative staff and good environment Washroom should have some more space and no smoking room provided
- Kumar (5/5): -
- Felipe (10/5): Cozy and friendly homestay -
- Suman sekhar (9/5): Good stay & value for money. - The bed was super comfortable; one can sleep quite peacefully and also can read at night thanks to individual lights for each bed. Cleanliness in the bathroom cum toilet was substandard. It was unhygienic. It needs improvement!
- Irfan (9/5): -
- Elise (10/5): Rapport qualité prix imbattable - Pour le prix, foncez les yeux fermés ! Le dortoir est confortable avec casier, Clim, lumiere individuelle, rideaux…
- Alberto (10/5): Gran alojamiento para disfrutar de Varanasi - El personal fue lo mejor. Increíblemente amables y serviciales. Hasta nos dejaron ducharnos el mismo día que nos íbamos de Varanasi por la noche antes de coger nuestro tren sin tener ya la habitación a nuestra disposición. La ubicación es más que correcta, la habitación es amplia y está bastante limpia. Un baño grande también y una buena sala común en la que poder hacer tiempo de espera. Nada
- Baratang (8/5): Value for the money. - If you book Private rooms, the service is meticulous and amazing experience for the price. Very clean and spacious rooms. The staff is really helpful and offer great customer service.
The dorm room’s bathrooms needs a revamp and proper cleaning. But overall great stay.
- Gita (10/5): Nice place to stay 🌞 - Great location. Very clean.

- Yashpal (6/5): -
- Katarzyna (3/5): Not for solo females!!!!! - 3 stars because the staff is lovely and very helpful. Otherwise it would be zero. Avoid if you are a solo female traveler...... it's extremely DIRTY and the toilet, washroom and bedding smells horrible like it was never cleaned! (Probably it was not....)
Terribly noisy
I didn't get the room which I requested, the man said it was because I would be the only female there and it's not safe, then he put me in a smaller room with disrespectful men anyway..... I booked for 3 nights and I left after one. I was eaten by bed bugs. Avoid!!!!
I was too disgusted to even take a shower there and trust me my standards are not super high.
- Mukesh (10/5): If you visit varanasi definitely this place will be one of the best location in which you can stay - Everything was truly great 👍 There is nothing like which i didn't like.
- Ronaldo (4/5): - Location and price. Very dirty bathroom, uncomfortable bed and everything very, very dirty.
I don't believe in this classification system anymore. There were even rats in the common area.
- Prasad (10/5): - My recent stay at Cookies Stay was truly a memorable one. The hotel offers an exquisite blend of luxury, comfort, and impeccable service. The check-in and check-out processes were seamless, handled by a professional and welcoming staff.
The room was tastefully furnished, offering modern amenities and a relaxing ambiance. The housekeeping staff maintained the highest standards of cleanliness, ensuring a comfortable and refreshing stay.
The hotel’s facilities, including the swimming pool and business center, were well-maintained and easily accessible. Additionally, the culinary experience at Cookies Stay was exceptional, with a variety of gourmet dishes and impeccable service.
I sincerely appreciate the attention to detail and commitment to excellence displayed by the hotel staff. Cookies Stay
sets a benchmark for hospitality, and I look forward to returning in the future.

- Madhurima (1/5): Not worth the money..irresponsible staff - The rate is too high for the amenities available. It was not clean , rooms were dark..not sufficient light ..cobwebs all throughout the ceiling…had to ask for everything that were supposed to be present…tv not working…no wifi available but was mentioned in the amenities list…these things are supposed to be working whether we use it or not, because we have PAID for them..no exhaust fan in washroom….also they did not return the change

- Jeannette (5/5): -
- Linda (4/5): - Nahe des Ganges. Aus dem Bad kam ein unglaublich beißender Geruch und die Wände waren sehr Geräuschdurchlässig. Zur Unterkunft zu kommen stellte sich als eine Herausforderung heraus.

- eugen (7/5): slušné ubytovanie blízko Gangy a prvým ghatom. Nie je v úplnom centre. - prístup personálu, poloha indický štandard. postel nebola úplne čistá, ale v Indii sme absolvovali aj horšie.
- Bhavin (6/5): -
- Agustín Javier (10/5): Hostel con muy buena relación calidad-precio - La mejor ducha que he podido usar en mi viaje. El personal muy atento, la ubicación muy bien, y la habitación de seis camas también. Nada en particular
- M Kumar (10/5): - Cleanesss Not liked the lockers needs to be big
- Sanju (8/5): -
- prakash (7/5): -
- Timothy (8/5): Simple, budget stay, good location and good staff. - Location was excellent, the staff were very accomodating and VERY helpful with booking a taxi from the airport and with my very late arrival.
- Sanjay (3/5): As per price property was not too good -
- Mukthi (8/5): -
- Debashish (8/5): -
- Maaxser (7/5): Passabile per l'India - Costo ragionevole. Camera spaziosa ma tipicamente indiana, anonima. Letto comodo. Acqua calda per la doccia. Forniscono solo lenzuolo coprimaterasso. Il lenzuolo è scuro, colorato, pertanto difficile verificarne la pulizia. Le foto sul sito lo mostravano bianco, sopra e sotto. Ho scelto la camera più bella e costosa ma dava su una stradina piuttosto rumorosa. Mancava un interruttore per spegnere le luci dal letto.
- Jack shah (7/5): -
- Raul (7/5): Basic accomodation with good location and good price - Location
Cleanliness
Price I stayed 3 nights, I just could sleep “properly” one night, because of the noise in the streets at night and in the hotel very early in the morning.
I wanted to book a boat tour and the staff gave me the phone number of the manager to ask about it, I’m still waiting and answer.
- Alvez (8/5): Good for its cost - It was good value for the price, beds in dorm had a curtain for privacy and overall had everything I needed
- emilie (10/5): Meilleur endroit à Varanasi - Parfait d’un bout à l’autre
- Daspute (7/5): -
- Ludovic (8/5): - Bon emplacement, lockers, eau à disposion Pas de serviette à disposition, seulement 2 toilettes (dont un à la turque) pour je pense beaucoup de personnes
Très peu de place dans le dortoir

- Caitlin (10/5): Value for money, great location, friendly staff - Amazing value for money, great location and friendly staff. I have stayed here twice now and have not hesitated to book for a third time. The staff are incredibly kind and open to help with anything. I highly recommend staying here and will continue to come back everytime I am in Varanasi.
