I had a really great stay at this guest house. The owner was extremely kind and always helpful: he supported me with everything I needed, from tips to explore the city to keeping my luggage even after checkout. The location is perfect — in a quiet and peaceful area of Varanasi, easy to reach but away from the busiest traffic. The room was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. I definitely recommend this place!

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.

Perfect Stay in the Heart of Varanasi!” I had an amazing experience at Kiarsh Residency. The location is unbeatable – just a short walk to Bhaironath Temple, Ganga Ghat (200 meters), and Vishwanath Temple (1 km). The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had all modern amenities like private kitchen, free Wi-Fi, and 24/7 CCTV security. The staff was very friendly and supportive throughout my stay. If you’re visiting Varanasi and want a peaceful yet central place to stay, I highly recommend Kiarsh Residency. Totally worth it!

The property is quite away from the busy streets of Varanasi. It is peaceful. This is a family run business where the owner has also vehicles for hire. They were really honest where no vehicle was available, they allocate someone to help and to ensure that all prices are charged at the local rate. Food was amazing. The way they treat you is exceptional. You will feel at home here. Also due to the floods, there has internet issues which to compensate they provided me with their mobile hotspot until the issue is fixed. I came for rudra abishek and their son came personally to ensure that I was being looked after properly as I do not speak the local language. Defo a place to remember especially for the way they look after you and treat you like their own family. I was really really lucky to meet these guys!
