    Hostel LaVie is such a welcoming place. I experience it a a unique spiritual oasis. The garden and courtyard are quite peaceful and serene.  I have found the staff is very friendly and attentive to my comfort. Whatever special requests I have made were responded to quickly and courteously. The best, most knowledgeable city guides and boatmen are working in association with This guesthouse. I would highly recommend Hostel LaVie to any traveler to Varanasi.

    “Comfortable stay”

    Stay was comfortable, and the location is convenient, though I personally didn’t prefer the area. They have an in-house kitchen that serves delicious, homely food. It’s close to Shivala Ghat, making it a convenient choice. The staff is extremely helpful, but they do need to repair the doors and invest a little more in better pillows and bedsheets for an improved experience.

    “Excellent”

    The Staff at the hotel is very heartwarming to welcome you. The food of their cafe is also hygienic and tasty. The overall place of the hotel is also neat and clean. Since the owner of the hotel's family also stays there is the reason it's very safe. They even guide you while on your trip of Do's and Don'ts of the Benaras.

    “Relaxing Stay”

    Nice little family run guesthouse. It's down an alley & is super quiet. All community areas are cleaned every morning. Kitchen staff is always happy to make you some food or chai & deliver it to your room. The manager is super friendly & very helpful - I booked train tickets with him & exchanged money twice at a good rate. On the last day they let us check out late which was great. Anything you need they are happy to help. Very stress-free stay here.
