Maa Durga Inn, hotel in Varanasi

Located in Varanasi, 200 metres from Dasaswamedh Ghat, Maa Durga Inn provides accommodation with a terrace, free WiFi, a 24-hour front desk, and full-day security.

Staying in an unfamiliar place can be overwhelming, but thanks to our host Vishnu, the experience was seamless and comfortable. Vishnu’s reliability, resourcefulness, and exceptional helpfulness made all the difference. As I was traveling with my mother and needed assistance, his guidance and support throughout our stay were truly invaluable. I would stay at this accommodation again when I am in Kashi.

    Staying with Mohit was our first accommodation in India and we were not disappointed. More than anything I would like to express, how welcomed we felt just the minute we arrived. Mohit is guy to help with everything, knows places, can recommend useful apps and is there for you even when you feel unwell. Just like a good friend. He has lovely family and can prepare many delicious meals. Surrounding area is quiet with various temples and guesthouse is easily accessible to Varanasi city centre.

    Great location near the Assi Ghat and just off the main Varanasi road, so it's accessible by tuktuk. Food stalls and snack shacks on the doorstep and a wine shop just up the road. Charming staff, all part of the family, very helpful and friendly. Shared areas include two kitchens, a dining area with a small library and a roof terrace with washing lines for drying laundry. They own a motor boat that does morning and evening river trips plus a row boat for private journeys. Much cheaper than others are offering.

    Booking at Asha paying guest house has been an excellent decision. The location is great, very close to Assi Ghat, where one can enjoy the morning and evening Ganga Aarti. Besides, Mahesh is a great host, he makes sure that the stay is comfortable and pleasant. I even met his parents and his daughter during the visit. I'm looking forward to stay with them again in my next visit to Varanasi. Thanks Mahesh for opening your home and making this visit memorable. Namasté

    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!

    A great location overlooking the Ganges, with a lovely view from the rooftop. The house is charming, tucked away in a quiet lane next to a temple. Mostly we liked Pinky and Rani our exceptional hosts who made us feel so welcome, our favourite stay so far in India.
