Somit Paying Guest House
ゲストの声
Somit is friendly and helpful. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed the position, as it's close to the main ghat and right in the middle of the northern and southern part of Varanasi. If you wish, they offer many services (guided personalized tours, courses etc). We appreciated that the owner also run a school for children in need, if you feel like giving them lessons you can also ask Somit to help as a volunteer.

This is the second time I've stayed in this place. Very convenient location, hospitable and friendly host and staff. Nice large rooms, hot water, air conditioning, fan, sockets. There is something to do in the evenings if you prefer to stay at the hotel. Lots of activities. Somit also opens educational centers for children. which is very generous and heartfelt and adds to the benefits of this whole place.

The Owner was helpful and flexible. There was a restaurant in the hostel where you got good and healthy vegetarian and non-vegetarian food. It was close to the river Ganges and the main body burning place was also quite close. It was far enough from crowded and noisy streets. The room was quite big with enough space.

Great location walking distance to the main ghats, very nice owner Somit and his family, he can teach you yoga and various things. The double room had a/c and a fan hot water which was very welcome after a sweaty day exploring the ghats They also serve food which was very tasty, and have some seating on the rooftop where there’s some plants. You can help teach the street children that come most days for a lesson if you have some ideas, which I unfortunately didn’t get time to do but can imagine would be quite rewarding.

Somit and the lovely staff make this place great. His heart and mission are really special and what drew me to this property. Location is excellent, though I did get lost a couple times. Really only 5 minutes from the main aarti ghat! Somit has many offers if you want a tour, massage, etc. A worthwhile experience.

It’s a great value for money stay close to all the (tourist) attractions. Also, what made it especially better as compared to other budget hostels, is that a part of this hostel is turned into a free school for local children in the evening. It’s a great initiative to improve the livelihoods of the community.

Somit house is a chill place in the best place of Varanasi, as everything interesting is so close to it. The owner Somit is auch a nice guy, there are quite a lot of activities to do and the room was clean and silent. I really recommend it in Varanasi!!!

It is very near of mother ganga and kashi vishwanath temple is very near from these accommodation. Positive point is here that family accommodation not hotel type... I was here in dormitory room with sharing other peoples... No locker here but we can keep the expensive things on reception... When I asked why not locker Somit said in past people's stolen in locker box... From that time no locker... I think good way... What he is doing his social work for free school for the kids is super... Should to visit here...

The Veg Kofta and Eggplant Pakoda were fantastic. Highly recommend eating here at least once to enjoy the homecooked food, which was made with care and attention. The beds are very comfortable and Somit is doing some great work helping to educate kids cannot afford to pay. The guesthouse organises many activities such as boat tours, walking tours, cooking lessons, yoga etc. Highly recommend staying here. Also the children are a delight to talk to and get to know a little.
