Sharma Kunj

I had no trouble with late-night entry, and the stay was hassle-free. The cozy place had fully furnished rooms, a kitchen, and bathrooms. Relatives who stayed here during Mahakumbh recommended it to me, and I’m glad I listened. Great for a tour or tirth, and highly recommended. A full five stars from me.

The kitchen was well furnished and had a refrigerator, which made the fortnight-long trip much easier since I prefer home-cooked food on vacation. I went to Varanasi, Sarnath, Vindhyachal, and Prayagraj, and the location worked out better than I’d expected. Compared with the poorly maintained hotels in the "streets of Banaras," this felt quieter, safer, and the people seemed more civil. It’s a relatively peaceful place, with the major spots in Varanasi within a 5 km radius. Getting around Varanasi and nearby places was easy, and cabs and motos were more readily available in this part of the city.

We had friends along and could all gather in the large living room. The kitchen was especially good, with a fridge and everything needed for cooking. Our room and bathroom were clean, tidy, and spacious enough for a couple and parents. The homestay is about 400 meters off the road, so it stays quiet, with birds chirping instead of road noise. Its secluded, peaceful location is alright, though major attractions are around a 5 to 10 km drive away. The stay was comfortable and felt like real value for money. Really the best place to stay.

This really felt like a home stay, and all the amenities were splendid. Mrs Sunita Mam and Pankaj sir were excellent hosts. We were very comfortable and I’ll definitely recommend this place.
