Awesome Stay (Thanks Sagar &Ishanee)

Had an amazing stay at Zostel Varanasi!
A special shoutout to Sagar — the guy is an absolute rockstar. He went above and beyond to help with everything and brought such positive energy that it made the entire experience even better. Huge kudos to him for his efforts and the awesome vibe he creates!
Also, Ishanee took us to the beautiful Ganga Aarti, and later we explored some of the best local chaat spots together. The whole experience felt authentic, fun, and truly memorable.
Thank you to the entire team for making my Varanasi trip so special. Looking forward to visiting again!

Highly recommended

The hotel is very nice, and the location is perfect, especially being so close to the ghats. The staff were extremely friendly, supportive, and professional throughout our stay.
The terrace ambiance was wonderful and provided a great place to relax. We also appreciated the comfortable waiting area and the excellent cleanliness maintained throughout the property.
Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. We will definitely come back in the future!

Not the cheapest but the most happening place there in Kashi

The folks at Zostal maintain a perfect balance between fun and rules. They ensure that the guests are keeping the premises safe, clean, and fun to engage with each other while offering plenty of space to hang out and jam. One event or the other keeps happening every day that offers plenty to involve yourself in.
I did not eat food at the Zostal so I cannot comment about it. But the place is pretty cool. It is even safe for families. We had a couple join us for even celebration along with their 5-year-old daughter. They seemed happy :)

Nice, budget stay

Solo trip to Varanasi was in my list from past many years but it seems just not happening, but post lockdown I got the chance and what better than Zostel for backpackers trip. It was 3 nights stay, though guests were limited due to pandemic but they overall clean and tidy place. Rooms and property were clean and hygienic, staff was nice and cooperative. Though location is just fine, as you walk inside a not so clean narrow lane, but other than that rest of the things were good.

Very good location
