When it comes to booking a ho(s)tel or guesthouse, it's all about value: do you get what you're paying for? At Baba Guesthouse you certainly do... It's really cheap, nice located (near the Munshi Ghat) although it can be hard to find in this alleyway labirinth of Old Varanasi when arriving. The rooms are spacious and have fans. Some of... More

Baba Guest House earns the esteemed ranking of Worst Hotel my husband and I have ever stayed at. I believe the owner and his young family live on the first floor. The other floors have been modified into 10-15 grimy double rooms. We booked our room ($23) based on the great Trip Advisor reviews but now think those other reviewers... More

Baba Guest House was our haven after an awful night at another guest house. The room was clean and had an ensuite bathroom, which had hot water, usually! The room could have done with a lick of paint and the airconditioning unit was an antique, but didn't need to use it, so no worries! It was clean!! Baba's is well... More

If you go to Varanasi its a good idea to stay in a place near the ghats(the famous bathing steps near the river. There are numerous tiny lanes and bylanes. Some people may get a little offended by the absence of cleanliness, (and on Sundays the streets are even dirtier as the garbage is not picked up that day),but once... More

A big group of 14 of us stayed here. Service staff was one of the best that I've ever experienced, but still needs to be updated and in particular - Mr. Gopal (the guest house manager or self- proclaimed owner of the guest house, i'm not sure) made our stay most warm and welcome. Every single aspect of our stay... More

Nice people and great value for money. The facilities are what you expect for the price, the room we had was ensuite on the first floor. The level has a nice communal landing to meet fellow travellers. Well used by the Koreans. Nice roof terrace. Excellent Internet access/wifi.

While the room felt clean enough and there was a good amount of natural light with a bit of a view of the Ganges, the windows were covered with a thick cage and the room lacked any charm. The sink in the bathroom did not work and it for some reason when the neighbors used their bathroom it sounded like... More

We transferred to this guest house after a horrible experience elsewhere. We were so happy to be in the place once we arrived. The management was fantastic. The room was clean and cute. The location is amazing, right close to the ghat where the regular ceremonies are. It is also right accross the street from a place that makes real... More
