I had a really great stay at this guest house. The owner was extremely kind and always helpful: he supported me with everything I needed, from tips to explore the city to keeping my luggage even after checkout. The location is perfect — in a quiet and peaceful area of Varanasi, easy to reach but away from the busiest traffic. The room was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. I definitely recommend this place!

Sona really made us feel at home in her house. We are grateful that we found her lovely place. The location is great, just off the more chaotic areas of Varanasi. We also had the opportunity to buy off her amazing spice mixes she grounds herself!

Perfect Stay in the Heart of Varanasi!” I had an amazing experience at Kiarsh Residency. The location is unbeatable – just a short walk to Bhaironath Temple, Ganga Ghat (200 meters), and Vishwanath Temple (1 km). The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had all modern amenities like private kitchen, free Wi-Fi, and 24/7 CCTV security. The staff was very friendly and supportive throughout my stay. If you’re visiting Varanasi and want a peaceful yet central place to stay, I highly recommend Kiarsh Residency. Totally worth it!

I would highly recommend this property as the location is just perfect. It is very near to Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Ganges and even famous chaat places like Deena Chat and Kashi chat. And people who want to go for shopping will also have a lot of benefit as it's very near to most of the famous banarasi silk fabric/saree houses. Even commute vehicles are easily available to go anywhere. I must say that the stay was very comfortable and cleanliness was top notch. The hotel staff was very polite and cooperative. The host was in-fact very helpful in providing us so many recommendations of best places to visit, best eateries, shopping centers or any suggestions related to Varanasi, as me and my family were visiting here for the first time. I would say this hotel really offers everything you need in your stay at such nominal prices. Thank you CocoIn and Chaitanya for making our trip to Varanasi so memorable, we would love to come back and stay here again.
