Tripti and her family are kind inviting hosts to guests at their place. The food is great, and the masala tea the best we had in India. The rooms are very clean and tidy. I would definately find myself staying there again if given the chance.

lovely little family-run establishment. simple but more than adequate rooms. if you're looking for an inexpensive place to stay in varanasi i'd recommend maruti guest house. and food is good as well. location is also quite good - close to banks of ganges. note that taxi drivers will not want to take you to this place because the owners don't...

This was a wonderful place to stay during our time in Varanasi, we felt very safe and like a part of the family. I couldn't recommend it enough. We enjoyed every part of the experience from the yoga to the beautiful handmade clothes and delicious food.

We stayed here during one of the Diwali festivals so Varanasi was quite crowded, though we never felt that at all during our time at the Maruti Guest House. The family that run this place are fantastic and friendly with plenty of tips. The fresh cooked food was wonderful as well. The location is perfect to walk along the Ganges... More

The owners son is nice and friendly, perhaps becasue he wants to be trusted.We asked him to book us 3 tickets and when they arived he demanded 100rp per person not per ticket as agreed. 100 per ticket was expensive but we went with him because he was so helpful. We refused to pay 600 rp comission for the three... More

The owner is a great guy and very helpful. The location is far away from the main area and if go towards the university, there are fewer people always badgering you to buy things. It's not as quiet as everyone makes it out to be. It's still near major roads. The people who live there are extremely friendly and nice.... More

Maruti Guest House is away from the crowded bazaars and the busy backpacker area, but still centrally located. Walking distance to the Assi ghat is about 5 min and there are two comfy cafes with delicious food just around the corner (which is particularly nice as Maruti has no restaurant / common sitting area). Rooms are reasonably clean for Indian... More

all that you read about this hostel that is good is only lies. The rooms are crappy and over priced, 700 rupias per nothing. The location is the worst. Please do not book this hostel caus there's plenty of options very good in Varanasi. I can't believe the goods rates I found in the net for this terrible place.

- Rooms simple but ok - Hot shower on demand all the day, and working, which is exceptionnal in this part of the world! - Food ok (and fresh!) but takes for hours even if ordered in advance - Location good for sightseeing but bring earplugs as it is located on a central and noisy street.
