It was a pleasure to stay in Azure Family. Sona and her Family were very hospital, we could learn a lot about their culture. The location is also near to the Assi ghat. The food that Sona cooked was amazing and always fresh. So we really loved to stay in her apartment!:)

Sona has been very helpfull, accomplished all our requests/needs, organised the transport from/to the airport, suggested me the tour guide - her brother, organised the morning private boat tour, changed money, provided me with a kettle, water... everything really was brilliant! Didn't have the chance to try any food. The room was ok and clean, quiet during the night. Hot water, air conditioner, towels. The position is great, just 5mins walking distance to Assi Ghat. Would really recommend it!

Sona, is so nice, cute and lovely. The cooking lesson was perfect we learned to cook chipotle :) We felt like at home:)

It's a safe, clean, lovely little guest house and Sona makes the stay in Varanasi so easy - she cooks indian and western dishes, she can offer you a boatride, trip around the city or transfer from and to the airport, as well as yoga/cooking/music classes. Rooms are tiny but comfortable.

Just a short walk to the Assi Ghat, yet surprisingly quiet neighbourhood. The small house is very clean and so are the rooms. Nice contact with the owners - Sona and her family are the perfect hosts. I made a Ganga boat trip at sunrise and it is truly worth the early wake up. Also took a trip to Sarnath. All the trips and the airport pick up or drop-off can be booked through the gust house. My personal highlight was the cooking class with Sona. I cook every day for my family, even indian dishes. But there is still a lot I could learn from her. Thank you Sona!

This is indeed a homestay. Sona and her family share there home with the guests, which I found really nice.

Really friendly staff, very homely. Nice, clean rooms. Quieter location for escaping the busier parts of town.

I stayed in a double room with private bath, no A/C but ceiling fan is working perfectly. Room and bathroom are small but clean and comfortable. If you are a seasoned traveller like myself, you will appreciate this level of comfort in this part of the world at a reasonable price. Hotels in this price range lose against this guest house experience Sona was very helpful and available to provide advice and contacts to visit the city. Her cooking Is delicious! Another plus point Is her very good English (and her daughter too) which will make your life a lot easier. My advice is to use her contacts, their price Is fair and you spare yourself the hassle of bargaining, making phone calls with non-English speakers etc., not knowing with whom you'll end up.
