Divyamshu and Aishwary both went up and beyond to make sure that we are comfortable. Being our first time in Banaras, they picked us up from a location so that we don't get lost in the little lanes of Banaras. They gave us right suggestions and were always available for any small queries. They treated us like family. Rooms were clean and comfortable. location is amazing and just few minutes walk to the ghat and ganga aarti. Would definitely recommend this place and will myself stay here for future trips to Banaras.

The 7 Traders Hostel was our salvation! After we arrived early in the morning on the night bus from Agra, our previously booked hotel room was unfortunately canceled. The 7 Traders Hostel confirmed our booking immediately and we were able to check into our room much earlier. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We booked a second night on the spot. The room is clean and very central. We were able to visit all the attractions on foot and to escape the heat, we always stopped off at our hostel. The price-performance ratio is really great. We are happy to recommend it to others and will be back on our next trip to India!

Booked this for my senior citizen parents - they needed something comfortable, clean, safe, friendly in Banaras. They were *extremely* happy with their stay - great hosts and staff, very friendly and relaxed atmosphere, clean place, lovely house. They had an excellent trip, and this homestay had a large role to play in that!

Great location, basic but comfortable room and awesome host (Vishnu). Vishnu's place is good value for money in Varanasi, but Vishnu as a host is invaluable. He is friendly, provides a lot of good information and advice - he really knows the area well and I would recommend other guests to pay attention to his advice because everything he told us (about scams, traffic etc) came true. We would have missed our train because of traffic and road blockages if Vishnu had not warned us about needing to leave early.

Reasonable and worth every penny! I recently had the pleasure of staying at Ajnara and I must say, it was an exceptional experience! This spacious Homestay is perfect for large families, groups of friends, or even corporate retreats. It comes with multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas. The kitchen is fully stocked, making it easy to prepare meals for a crowd. The location is also ideal, with plenty of parking space and easy access to public transportation. It's a true gem that feels like a home away from home!
