A little hard to find in the alleyways of the old city so Monu came to the main road to meet us himself. Good email and phone information including arranging a station pick-up. Room was brightly painted and clean - hot water was there when we wanted it, and advice was given freely and helpfully, including arranging an early morning... More

We agree with all the positive reviews about this place. We really enjoyed our stay at Monu's Guesthouse. The place looks really cool with all the different coloured painted walls. Our room was basic but clean and a really good size - very good value for money. It was great that a good padlock was provided for our room and... More

This is a very nice family run place very close to the Ghats. The family were very nice and always happy to answer questions, it was clean, there was always hot water and we had the biggest double bed I have ever seen! The only negative about this place was that it was a bit noisy at times, but I... More

Location: Monu Guest House seemingly locates at the central point of Varanasi, very near from Golden Temple (5 min walk), Ganga Fuji Restaurant (2 min walk), Dasaswamedh Ghat (15 min walk). For first timers, pick-up service is highly recommended. Room: Austerely-equipped yet clean and quiet room. 24/7 hot water and free wifi count. Service: Laundry, desk help, luggage left and... More

We stayed here for three nights. Rooms are clean and with hot water. It locates at old Varanasi near Golden Temple. It's hard for first comer to find in the lane.

Staying in Monus family guest house was a pleasure. Quiet and tranquil, beautifully decorated and hidden down the lanes with a very pleasant walk to the main ghat. Secure wifi, hot water and a warm family welcome. Monu's English was probably the best I had heard from any Indian person I had met and the guest house was very reasonably... More

the location is great. well, it is technically not by the river, but it is really just a 5 to 10min walk to the banks of ganges river. price is alright too. i guess the best part of the hotel is actually the free wifi and hot shower. i swear that after 6 weeks in india, this place is surely...

We stayed at Monu's for 4 nights whilst in Varanassi and I can honestly stay it remains one of my favourite places to stay in all my travels in India. We loved the location, tucked away int he bustling market streets, and its colourful, cheerful decor. We received the warmest welcome from Monu and the family, who made a special... More

We made the perfect decision with staying in Monu's guesthouse. The owner is a very very nice and warmhearted guy. The hotel is clean and colorful. A good place in the chaotic city Varanasi

Great location, cute rooms, the basics. Wireless internet so so, but works sometimes ;) Close to everything, ask to come pick up, hard to find direction and not a lot of people knows where it is. Sunroof not too much of a view. Front desk won't disturb you, don't rely on them for help or direction. prepare in advance. Varanasi... More
