HosteLaVie - Varanasi

I paid 800 Rs per night for a single bed in a 4-bed room. In three nights nobody came to clean the beds and towels that were there from previous guests since who knows when. The sheets were dirty and felt used. The lockers had stuff from previous guests. The nights were really cold and the blanket provided was visibly too thin for a decent sleep. The place was nice though, very close to the Ghats, and the staff and general vibe was cool; but overall the price was too high and it really seemed like nobody cared for the general maintenance of the rooms.

Getting to the property is a Lil tricky but the place in itself is a small oasis for budget travelers right behind shivalay ghat, very neat rooms they have dorms too. Natwar lal is a very helpful manager and was sorting out my ride to the airport and stuff without any hassle. Gonna go back for sure

Super clean, quiet and a nice chill vibe. Felt very safe. Rickey was genuine, trustworthy and awesome at organising local guides at a good price. The hostel is in a supreme location, close to the Ganges and Ghats, as well as some beautiful big trees!

Beautiful and budget-friendly, hostel LaVie is situated near beautiful shivalay ghat. The staff is really friendly and can help you out with all your travel queries. The hostel arranges morning boat rides at a very reasonable cost, with Gopal Bhaiya as a guide. Born and brought up in Benaras he knows more than just the tales. He can also guide you to great saree shops where you can get pretty sweet deals on some authentic sarees. They will surely ensure to make your trip to Banaras a memorable one.

I had stayed from 20-11-2021 to 25-11-2021 in HosteLavie. It is such a clean property and the staff are so courteous that they try to make ends meet to reach up to your expectation. The main reason for me to stay here is to peacefully write my script and never was I disturbed; not even once. Vikramaditya, Pavan, Sudheer and Gopal makes it a point that your stay is as great as possible. The place is so aesthetically artistic; calm and serene that your vacation or workation will be as smooth as it can be.
