We just found out that we were the actors of a big scam by the staff at Rudra House. When we got there, the staff were insisting for us to take a "free" tour with a guide around Varanasi (free if we were to write a review on Trip advisor!), were they would bring us in the Muslim area to... More

We stayed for three nights at Rudra Guesthouse and really liked the place. Very quiet while a few steps away from the main ghat, it is perfectly located. Having breakfast on the rooftop terrace is a great time. And service is great. Lalu was kind enough to offer very late and free of charge check-out as we had to catch... More

I can only talk about having lunch on the roof at Brown Bread Bakery. A small area and as mentioned below, one sits on the floor on cushions and low tables. The food was good but the service was very slow as there was only one or two taking care of things. It was restful to sit for a while... More

This hotel has multiple personalities, so I'm kind of writing two reviews. I'll start with the bad (the management & ethics), and then the ok (the hotel itself.) The Management & ethical concerns (1-star rating for this): Although Lalu, the owner, seemed friendly and helpful at the outset, he showed a volatile and unethical side on my second day. I... More

The manager help us organize our weekend and made it a wonderful experience. He offered us the help of a guide (Mogli) who showed us the old town, took us for a boat ride on the Gange, and explained to us the history of this town. We would not have enjoyed our time as much here without their assistance. The... More

After a really crazy time getting from the airport to the guesthouse, we were greeted with warm smiles and friendly hello's. The staff are all wonderful and very helpful. The room was clean and the hot water runs 24 hours. Very nice in comparison to other places I have stayed in India. The location is amazing, only 50 meters or... More

We have booked 3 nights in that guest house in february 2013. First, it is not a guest house. It is an hotel. When people of rudra wants to help you, to book a boat for exemple, it is just to make you pay 10 times the price to have a commission. The guy tried to sell us 2 hours... More
