Scindhia Guest House

Guesthouse

Lovely room with balcony. Friendly staff and fantastic food. The rice pudding is to die for.

Really quiet place, very close to the river and it’s life the, the food is good and attention from personal is nice I stayed in a room with view to the river.

Excellent place to soak in Benares.

Fantastic location, clean and friendly.

Clean place with a good view. Electricity worked fine (contrary to other comment). Access from the that's only.

Fake spot, service is pathetic and rates are not fix, rates are different for each guest.

Very nice and cosy guest house in the heart of varanasi near the burning ghats! The family who runs this business is awesome! Very nice people! It's clean, warm water and free Wi-Fi! The food they serve is also very good and clean! Stay there and enjoy your trip to varanasi!

Great view from the balcony.

I had wonderful time staying at Scindhia Guest house. Owner of the lodge was very courteous, I really enjoyed breath taking view of Ganges from my room balcony. I recommend every one to star there its really convenient located as you can avoid walking down the alley if you don;t want to just jump in the boat and u can get to main town to explore. It was so peaceful in the night &one night when I had delhi belly owner called Doctor and gave me medication, next day I felt better that was exterimely good service. I didn;t have to leave room and I was well looked after. if you are looking for clean and smell free place to live in varanasi its the perfect place. I have paid more money other places in varanasi but never got comfort like as I got staying at Scindhia guest house. great place.

DO NOT STAY HERE! This guest house was the worst experience we had in India hands-down. If you plan on taking a hot shower or using electricity stay somewhere else! I would advise all travels to take this review seriously and would strongly discourage anyone from staying here. The hotel runs its electricity on two parallel circuits. One is for the hotel office and overhead lights and the other is strictly for the guest rooms (electrical outlets, AC units, and water heaters). They purposely shut the power off to the guest rooms at prescribed times during the day in order to save on cost. Big, big issue here for two reasons: 1. The power was hardly ever on when we were in the room which meant our digital cameras, phones, and computers couldn't charge. While on vacation it's really nice to be able use these devices… 2. There was never hot water when we needed it because the circuit running the water heater was connected to the circuit they cut most of the time. We found it absolutely disgusting that the manager of the hotel blamed the power on the city grid going down ever day. The hotel uses an industrial generator on the second floor that they run when they decide to give the guests power. You will notice that while you have no power the hotel manager is in his office blaring his stereo while he's telling you the city cut power. Unethical behavior in the service industry is completely uncalled for.
