Lovely friendly guest house in a great location just minutes from the river and ghats. helpful staff. I used their airport pick-up service as I arrived late at night. I was very grateful as vehicles can’t get to where the accom is and not sure I’d have found it on my own! but easy once you have your bearings. I booked a sunrise boat tour through them (in small row boat) which I’d highly recommend. I had only booked an economy room but for my first 4 days they put me in a deluxe room on the upper floor which offered a view of the Ganges which was lovely. there is a lovely cafe on the top floor which does great breakfasts.
The economy room I had to move to for final 2 nights, although clean and comfortable with attached bathroom, had no window so no natural light.

Location, behavior, staff are good. Location is very good. It is just 10-15 steps away from Munshi and Darbhanga ghats. If one does not like the steep stairs of the ghat, then they can easily come here through Bangali Tola. The stairs of the Guest House gave us old-world charm, but not ideal for elderly people as they are steep. But for young people it is good.
The inner-hashbolt of the room was not good, I had a feeling that if someone pushes from outside, it will break open. It should improve. Also the inner hashbolt of the toilet was not working.

It's a heritage property nested by the side of Ganges in one of the many alleys of Bangalitolla. The people are very helpful, always available to cater to the needs of the guests; the 'Adha Adha Cafe' at the rooftop is a superb place to chill, and their food is also outstanding; the rooms, although not very large, are cosy, comfortable and budget friendly. There are comfortable sitting arrangements throughout the lobby so that the guests can hang out wherever they want. Gopal ji and his wife were very warm and welcoming. They are actually the bridge between the bulk of foreigner backpackers and travelling Indian families - they make both feel at home. This is a recommended place for both solo and group travelers.
The property is itself very interesting and elegantly decorated. Mind the stairs, which may be a bit steep for elderly people.

We absolutely loved our stay at baba guest house. The room we had booked had no AC, and by the time we arrived they offered us to take a look at another one and choose witch one we preferred. The room was clean, shower always hot, bed was comfortable and we had enough space. AC was working perfectly too. The restaurant upstairs is great (what makes breakfast super easy!) and the staff is suuuuper helpful and kind. We had a lot of questions since that was our first time and stop in india and they didn’t hesitate to help us the best way they could. Plus, location is great to explore the city! After looking through a lot of places in Varanasi, Baba Guest House seemed the best, and we are certain that going there will be a great experience for everyone :)!
everything was perfectly fine

Nice old house near the river with the picturesque view on the roof. Rooms are clean and cosy, without insects. The restaurant on the roof was great, serving delicious Western and Indian food. The staff of the guesthouse was very nice and helpful, the administrator was ready to solve any problem we had. I hope to stay here once again next time.
Everything was great

Everything about Baba Guest House was just amazing..😊 It's just 1 minute (walking distance) away from Dashashwamedh Ghat.. and 30 seconds from Darbhanga Ghat.. Room was clean..There was provision for 24X7 hot water and Wifi.. Gopal Jha ji, his wife and other Staff members were courteous and infact at the end of our trip they felt like Family..Ah! such a great hospitality! 🙂 They have an amazing rooftop Cafe called Aadhaa-Aadhaa run by a beautiful Indo-French couple Raju and Emi..Food was top-notch (I would say-The best in Varanasi) and reasonable in terms of price.. There is a beautiful library, games like Chess and Domino that you can enjoy with your Coffee and calming music. Gopal ji and his wife will make you feel like Home with their sheer sense of humour, amazing hospitality, good food and the quality of service they provide in their Guest House.. Visiting Varanasi again for peace, happiness, tranquility and spirituality.. And our stay would be again at Baba Guest House without any doubt.. Thank you and Best Wishes 😊
Everything was just amazing.. Loved it.

Very friendly and warm hosts, who make you feel like home. We loved the location of the guesthouse, because its very near the ghats at a convenient and calm place. Besides that, rooms were spacious and clean with a nice view. We will definitely stay at Baba Guesthouse when we will ever come back to Varanasi. Thanks again!
Nothing, all good!

Nice and simple place. The restaurant upstairs is amazing. The staff is very helpful. Overall good experience.
The location is not very clear. Once ordering an Uber we couldn’t get to the hotel simply because cars and tuktuks can’t reach the location. Would have been nicer if they had told us in advance. Only reachable by walking.

Its a great location considering the Munshi Ghar is just 100m from the hotel. Gopal Ji was very kind and also managed to arrange for food at 11 PM in the night. The rooftop restaurant has good staff and good food. Bathroom was clean and well maintained. Hot water was available 24/7.
No windows from my room so no natural light. Room is pretty tight with just a bed and a table. Shower did not work well. Rooms are quite closeby so if you have noisy neighbours that could be a spoiler.
