Sugar Stars Inn

Nicest staff. Great area. Short taxi to most sights. Really great Punjabi restaurant downstairs. Def recommend if you need a friendly place to crash that is inexpensive and accommodating

Everyone at the hotel was very friendly and attentive to my needs. The room was very comfortable and the restaurant had a wide variety of options.

The hotel was the nicest we’d been to in our weeks in India. Several areas stood out in our minds. Wonderfully kind and helpful staff, opening doors, organizing rides, making change. Rooms were lovely, great shower pressure and temp. Nice wall mount blow dryer, comfy bed, air conditioning. Amazing cafe, really fresh and yummy food. I enjoyed the fresh Greek salad, hummus and pita, wedge fries, brownie Sunday. Complimentary breakfast was really nice too. Sid, the owner is always there, looking after every detail. Definitely give this place a shot! About 20 min drive from Ghats, and Buddhist temple. Two Canadians (40s)

There was not a spa in the hotel. But the room was clean (I changed rooms) and when I moved to 4th floor this has been recently refurbished it was much better. Siddharth and Rudra have owned the hotel for just over 3 years and want to ensure every guest has a good stay. They deserve business, and encouragement. Some aspects still need updating and WiFi is under improvement (and some staff need better English or a translation device) but they have all the ambition and it would be nice to visit again in a couple of years to see what they have done to the hotel. It’s an affordable comfortable place to stay and the staff will ensure you are well looked after and can arrange cars and autos all at reasonable prices. It’s about 2km from the ghats and old city. I felt staying a little outside the main area was much better in this city as it’s densely overcrowded in the centre and complex to navigate. Here you can travel easily to and from airport (which the hotel can organise at a reasonable cost) a lot of other areas have the central zones shut making it impossible to get through with luggage. A very important consideration in choice of accommodation when visiting Varanasi. Everything you want to see from hotel is about a 150 rupee auto ride away, and the hotel always booked to the price I wanted to pay, ensuring you are not scammed. The hotel is great choice for first time visitors to Varanasi.
