Sandhya is a good choice. The rooms are basic but clean and equipped with a vivacious cold shower (there was a communal hot shower across the corridoor). I've noticed other reviews disparage the location, but it was a mere 10 minute walk from the old town and just 2 minutes from Shivala ghat. The best feature was the rooftop restaurant... More

I stayed here for one night as a solo traveller in a single room. Paid about 500 rupees on Agoda, booked at short notice on the day before the major Shiva festival. The room was very small - just room for the (rather firm) single bed - but that wasn't a problem for me. Had a small balcony with a... More

I'm just siting on the top roof restaurant of this guesthouse and enjoying cool atmosphere of inside area in the midday heat. Rooms are clean and big enough. Location is also great since its not far from the crazy "old town" and just walking distance from the ghats.

Sandhya guest house is a great place to stay in Varanasi. The staff are welcoming and attentive and happy to help with evening/early mornig boat rides. The hotel is located within 5-10 mins ( slow walk) of one of varanasi's two burning ghats and 15-20 min walk from the main ghat where the evening puja ceremony takes place at 6:30/7pm.... More

Vijjay, the first guy who we met entering the guest house at 6h in the morning was really nice and even if we woke up him such early, was that friendly that he offered us a chai. We looked for a cheap room, and we had to wait a bit for the check out time to obtain a room cheaper... More

Small rooms, but who cares when you have your own private balcony and great hot showers? New painted walls and the rooms have fans. I really enjoyed my stay at Sandhya, and that was mostly because of the super friendly and helpful staff. The guest house is owned by a indian man and his japanese wife. We met a few... More
