About

Ali Baba Guest House - Varanasi

Ali Baba Guest House sits in the Ghats of Varanasi district, a 9-minute walk from the Chet Singh Ghat Palace. With 12 rooms, it's a small, personal property where staff know guests by name. The focus here is on practicality: clean spaces, working amenities, and a location that makes exploring the ghats easy.

Rooms are basic but well-kept, with freshly painted walls and clean mattresses. The bathrooms stand out for India – large and with reliably hot showers. For those heading to the train station, the manager is known for giving timely advice and even holding bags after checkout.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Reliable hot showers — Multiple guests highlight the shower's water pressure and constant hot water, a rare comfort in India.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Low overall rating — With a 5.9 out of 10 and only 8 reviews, the guest house hasn't won broad approval, and expectations should be tempered.
  • Basic room amenities — The Standard Double Room Fan has no listed amenities – no air conditioning, TV, or balcony – so it's a simpler option.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with an animal, this isn't the place – the policy is clear.

“Best shower we've had in India so far – always hot, with a heavenly shower head. The room was spotless, with fresh paint and the cleanest mattresses we've seen. Plenty of space, plus a cabinet for clothes. The manager stored our bags after checkout and gave solid advice on catching the train on time.”
