Roadhouse Varanasi adds ‘hip’ to holy in one of India’s most revered pilgrimage destinations. Amid the crowded lanes and cramped lodges, we are that spacious, fun accommodation with a budget price tag. Dozens of travellers who have stayed in our clean, tidy dorms and private rooms have formed close friendships and found top-notch deals thanks to our cool, social ambience and well-informed staff. You’ll find everything you came to Varanasi for within walking distance from our hostel. We’re talking about stunning sights of evening aartis, early morning yoga on the banks of the Ganga, Indian music classes, delicious food and even a spacious terrace if you want to get away from it all. Discover the India everyone talks about and experience the colourful chaos all around while being able to come home to a place that’s familiar and fun. If this is your first trip to Varanasi, we’ll show you the ropes; and if it’s not, then we’ll give you the low-down on everything that’s new or unexplored.
