International Travellers’ Hostel (ITH) was made by a traveller for other travellers. The inspiration: Growing up with travelling parents; a college exchange programme ending with a backpacking trip through Scotland & England (2007), then a summer-long Euro Trip (2010) a few years later. Eventually ‘The Hostel in Varanasi’ opened its doors to travellers near Varanasi’s main train station. ITH has since expanded to include homestays in its portfolio. Our newest addition — the Luxury Cottage 'Hibiscus' — is an important addition to our success story. We also operate a homestay at Teliyana in Varanasi, and a holiday home in Valencia, Spain.

This house boasts traditional Indian architecture that is over a hundred years old, making it a treasure trove of cultural and historical significance. Now, it has been converted into a welcoming and cosy homestay that combines tradition with modernity. Located at the heart of the city, in a bustling street full of life and activity, this homestay offers the perfect blend of tradition and modernity. Upon entering this charming property, guests will be greeted by its unique architecture and design.The house has been thoughtfully renovated to retain its historical charm while incorporating modern amenities for guests' comfort. This homestay is an excellent base for exploring the city and its culture.

Located a mere 18-minute walk from the ghats of Varanasi, this homestay offers a glimpse into the city's culture. The ghats are a hub of activity, where pilgrims, travellers and locals come together, providing a unique insight into the city's religious and cultural practices. This Vintage ITH Homestay is a fantastic choice for travellers searching for an authentic experience of Varanasi's culture and hospitality. With its rich history and welcoming hosts, it promises to be a memorable stay for all guests. In addition to the fantastic location, guests will have access to comfortable, uniquely decorated private rooms with traditional artefacts, spacious and well-lit common areas, a well-equipped kitchen, and a beautiful terrace to relax and enjoy the stunning views of the city. Varanasi City Railway Station is the nearest train station to the homestay. Convenient bus connections to the city centre and airport are also available. Tuk-Tuks and rickshaws are conveniently available out on the street.
