We had a great experience in Shivangi's place. She is a responsive host. The property is well maintained and instructions were quite clear. The location is easy to find and near to Varanasi station. I will definitely recommend Shivangi's place.

Ritz Mansion
It was a great stay at Ritz mansion. We were a group of 14 friends and we stayed for 3 nights. The house is located near a major junction. So it convenient to go anywhere in Varanasi. The main temple area is reachable by a vehicle or walk if you don't mind some walking. The house is spacious, has good furniture and common areas, including terrace. We enjoyed partying and group activities very much. The caretakers were helpful. There were some niggles with running water a couple of times, but I think they can address those. The cab service was expensive, so we found Uber or local transport to be better. For home cooked food, you need to give advance notice, so we could not avail that. We enjoyed the tea and breakfast cooked by them. It was easy to order food from swiggy when we did not eat out. Thanks Gaurav and team for a memorable stay. This is highly recommended for everyone!

Great place to stay. Mr. Vishrut 's father was in touch with us. Whatever extra utensils we needed was promptly provided. The electric kettle was not working, on telling him it was instantly replaced. All apparatuses were working properly. Property located centrally with lots of eateries nearby. Dedicated covered parking space is also there. In short, a very good place to stay in Benaras.

The stay was perfect. Kishanji kept in touch with us much before our arrival. He even guided the Auto at the Railway Station so that locating the property was not a problem. Bablu the caretaker was very helpful in every manner possible. The kitchen, the rooms, the bathrooms were clean and tidy. Bablu even arranged Auto for us hence moving around the town was never a problem. The location of the property also suited us as it was quite peaceful. Last but not the least, Mr Veidant himself was very responsive all along and was quick to clear our doubts , whenever we had any. Highly recommended for stay at Varanasi. Will surely stay here in our next visit.
