Golden River Homestay

We stayed in this hotel on our trip to kashi. The staff was exceptional in guiding us at every stage about temples and best routes to reach there. The complimentary breakfast was served to us during course of our stay. We thank everyone of the staff for their unwavering support.

Good location. The room was good but didn't exactly match the specifications from booking.com. They washed clothes for us which came back quickly and were reasonably priced. Staff are friendly and helpful but I wouldn't recommend the boat trip organised by them.

Very nice mid-class hotel, with everything you need. The rooms are normal size, spacious, silent and with airconditioning. The rooms are simple but clean, qnd the guest house provides everything needed. Great location - 10 minutes away from the center, which is perfect to be outside the noise and pollution. And perfect entrance to the Ghat. Very good breakfast. Owner is very friendly, helped us also with the bus ticket and a couple of things in the city. I will for sure go back!

They provide a highly welcoming and very helpful service, the best I've experienced in India. Rooms are comfy and have good space for remote work/digital nomads.

I stayed at Golden River during Kumbh Mela 2025. Neeraj was very helpful and knowledgeable of Varanasi and made my stay much better. Neeraj and his staff, especially Manaj, were all kind, friendly and willing to help. They even looked after me by getting me food and supplies when I was sick. I hope to stay at Golden River for the next Kumbh Mela and maybe before.

Sally and I stayed in hotels across India but this Guest House was the best experience. Neeraj, Radha and the kids were just great with Neeraj a mine of information. Manos and VJ were consistently respectful, friendly and helpful and the lemon ginger tea was superb. The kitchen and the cooking was simple and wonderful. The room was comfortable and clean, the bathroom and hot water was better than the hotels and the location in the heart of ‘old’ Varanasi was (4mins from the ghats) a busy, noisy and delightful experience. With the hugely busy and crowded condition because of Maha Kumbh Mela and the Shivatatri occasions, the Golden River and its rooftop were an ideal ‘home away from home’.
