    BBQ, free parking, beautiful garden, free WiFi, continental breakfast, bike and car hire. Airport shuttle available.

    Oh, how disappointing! There's absolutely nothing I disliked about this place.

    The rooms are spacious and comfortable with soundproof walls, ensuring a peaceful stay. Some of the rooms offer beautiful city views, making the experience even more enjoyable. Each room has a private bathroom with a shower, providing convenience and privacy. The presence of a balcony in certain rooms adds a touch of charm and a place to relax.

    Personally, I found the desk in the room unnecessary as I prefer to work or plan my activities in a communal area.

    The location of the hotel is convenient, with several temples nearby and a quiet neighborhood. the rooms are neat and spacious, with comfortable bedding and clean bathrooms. the staff is supportive and helpful, providing good service. There are also great common areas and an open rooftop to enjoy.

    The speed of internet connectivity can be a bit slow at times, which can be frustrating who rely on reliable internet access.

    I stayed at Gypsy Diaries for a few days and it was a fantastic experience. The place is spacious and clean, with a huge lobby and common area to relax in. The staff, especially Abhay, were incredibly helpful and prepared delicious food. The hostel had a pleasant vibe, with friendly hosts who were always there to assist us. They even changed our rooms when we faced some issues. a great place to stay and meet fellow travelers!

    Couldn't recommend this hotel more.

    The value for money was great, with clean rooms and bathrooms. The location was perfect, all the main attractions were within 2km. The staff at Gypsy Diaries were caring and helpful, making my stay enjoyable.

    More breakfast choices would have made it even better.

    The place was really comfortable, with a kitchen where you can cook and mattresses that were surprisingly comfortable. The rooftop was a great spot to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The hotel was conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood, and the price was decent. The common areas were well-maintained and provided a great place to meet fellow travelers.

    The cleanliness of the hotel was a major issue. The beds were dirty and had insects that bothered me while I was trying to sleep.

    Mind-blowing amenities including Wi-Fi in rooms, free parking, electric kettle, air conditioning, and laundry. Superb facilities such as a picnic area, table tennis, badminton, yoga classes, and a game room. Jaw-dropping services like a full body massage, children's play area, board games, and locker room. Impressive features such as express check-in/-out, VIP check-in/-out, and a tennis court. Exceptional staff with a 24-hour reception and 24-hour security. Great for adults only and no smoking on site.

    The room we stayed in had a private bathroom with a shower, which was really convenient. Our triple room had a balcony, allowing us to enjoy the fresh air and take in the views.- The soundproof walls in the spacious double room ensured a peaceful and restful sleep.- We loved having a seating area in our spacious double room, providing a cozy spot to relax.- The city views from some of the units were absolutely stunning.- Having a desk in the room was handy for any work we needed to do.- The bed linen in the rooms was clean and comfortable.- All rooms at the hostel had a safety deposit box, giving us peace of mind.

    Personally, we found the air conditioning in the triple room to be slightly noisy.

    As a senior woman, I loved the cozy and inviting atmosphere of the hotel. The common areas were spacious, allowing for easy movement and relaxation. The decoration had a charming and traditional touch, making me feel right at home. Additionally, the hotel was conveniently located near popular points of interest, making it easily accessible for senior people like myself.

    I would have appreciated more assistance from the staff in catering to the needs of senior guests. Perhaps, it would have been helpful if they had offered additional support or services specifically designed for senior travelers.

    The decoration at Gypsy Diaries Varanasi is simply delightful. The hotel is adorned with beautiful wall pictures that add a touch of elegance and charm. The common areas are spacious and comfortable, perfect for leisurely strolls or relaxing with a cup of tea. As a senior woman, I also appreciated the hotel's accessibility. The staff was always willing to assist me, ensuring that I felt safe and comfortable throughout my stay.

    I would have loved to see more tailored amenities for senior people. Perhaps, some additional assistance or amenities specifically designed for the elderly would have made my vacation even more enjoyable.
