Getting there
Somewhat walkable
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Will recommend everyone to stay there being solo . Nice place to stay with all basic amenities. Staff behaviour was very good. Night shift staff was also very cordial. Lovely atmosphere provided with nice coffee. Also suggest gostops to provide bucket mug in each bathroom 😂 Will go again if banaras calls.

Overall I enjoyed staying at this place. Staffs were extremely friendly. They have a dedicated gaming and hangout area where you can chill with your friends, partner or whoever you're traveling with. The only drawback is their power supply. I reckon they don't have a power backup or inverter. I had to stay awake till midnight to wait for power supply. They really need to look into it. The best part about this property or gostops is you can stay in the living area by keeping your luggage in the locker room till 12 hours post checkout from the room. Their living area has comfortable resting space.
I would love to come back here again.

It is located 6 kms from kasi Viswanath temple. Very good place to stay and meet new people 🙂 I have enjoyed my stay here very peacefully . Gostops varnasi has the vibe and staff is also very helpful. They arrange things if you ask for and I felt dorms are also very comfortable to stay there for more days.

Varanasi was as satisfying as the visit to this historic and holy city. Everything was nice there friendly people, helpful staff members. Also suggest go-stops to provide bucket-mug in each bathroom. And the coffee, tea and the other things like Maggie aalu parathe , omelet need to improve. i tried many things the rolls were good. By the way i had a great experience.

I was traveling solo for some work in Varanasi. The property is very well connected with local transport. It is also situated near to ghats of Varanasi so you can just walk easily. Brilliant & cooperative staff makes you feel at home. I was surprised by their 24hr kitchen service where you can have tea/coffee/maggi/sandwhich etc. anytime. Cozy hangout areas and ventilated rooms. I am very happy that I selected gostops for my stay at Varanasi.

We booked a 8 bed dorm for my family of 5, even though its a hostel we enjoyed our stay at the fullest. Ashish the general manager with his team supported our needs specially my elderly parents, my infant and my baby girl be it our regular coffees, hot water supply or our nightly cravings. It is around 1.5 km from every place you would want to visit tuktuk are easily available at a price of rs 50-150 for 5 people. The chill out zones are far on the second floor and we were on the first floor, though we like party vibes but for those who are bothered it will not disturb them. All in all it was a great experience with family as well. Thank you gostop for the hospitality. Value for money place to stay.

Firstly, the beds and services were obviously very good upto the level shown on their website. The cherry on the cake is their warm hospitality - both the day (Ashish) and night (don't remember the name) managers are extremely friendly and are always there to help. 1 suggestion: Please improve the cleanliness and equipment availability in bathing rooms. Otherwise, perfect stay.

The place looks really cool. It's nice if you just want to chill, read books and hang out. I faced some issues during my stay though. The WIFI wasn't working for the first few days (most of the days I stayed), food is pretty average (frozen food). Some guests were a nuisance. The room and the bed was very comfortable. Washroom floor wasn't clean when the nuisance guests came. It was just the wrong time I guess. The place is great if you just need your space.
