I had a wonderful 20-day stay in Moustache varanasi as a solo traveler, and it truly felt like a home away from home. The hospitality is exceptional — warm, genuine, and full of care. The cleanliness is consistently maintained, which made my entire stay comfortable and stress-free. A heartfelt thank you to Yash, Abdul, and Sunil. When I was unwell, they took such sincere care of me that they became more like friends than staff. Traveling alone can sometimes feel isolating, but they made sure I never felt alone for a single day. The hostel vibe is lively, refreshing, and full of positive energy. It’s the kind of place where you arrive as a guest and leave with memories and friendships. I’m deeply grateful for the kindness I received and would recommend this hostel to anyone looking for warmth, comfort, and great people.
The property is located very close to Assi Ghat, and the rooms are clean and well maintained. The staff are also very good and take care of the property nicely. Overall, the stay was pleasant. However, the main issue is with the washrooms. Around 20 guests are accommodated on one floor, and there are 3 washrooms, which are also used by people visiting the cafeteria on the same floor. Because of this, the washrooms require frequent cleaning, but this is not happening regularly, and they often remain messy. Apart from the washroom issue, the property is very good. Hot water is available, but it is only mildly hot and not very hot.
Positives:😁 1.Best stay for backpackers. 2.Affordable rates. 3.Good for solo travellers. 4.Lockers were provided to the guests which is good but also your things will be safe not to worry much! 5. Good place for workations. PS: I personally have left my phone chargers wallet and some cash as well as is on bed and those were not even flinched it was as is till I returned to my bed! That's the discipline this place holds. Also kuch drawbacks bhi hei 😖 kaash inko suggestions jaise lelo complaints nahi.... 1.Work on providing hot water for showers properly all time I was there for 3 complete days but not even one day got hot water for bathing. 2. Provide proper blankets to all. Please stock things uniform like matching spread pillow and sheets which will enhance your look also gives the sense of luxury. The one which was given to me was not that good in condition also it was not warm enough for that temperature of banaras during winters 3. Regarding your cafe it's fantastic food was amazing but I literally want you guys to work on pricing and quantity balance.... This requires utmost care I would say. Because few food I been served in abundance for min pricing and few were not even close enough in quantity for the price. So this will create a bad impression because you reach people heart via food it's the easiest also the difficult path so better work on it. 4. And a personal request is that try hosting a quick intro session during evening chai time let whoever in hostel interested let them join. I request this because I'm a super introvert until someone initiates the convo so this step will help people like me to socialize and also will be like a cherry on top of the cake for your hostel hospitality it's a win win for both of us😉 That's all for now baad mei likhuga haath mei dard hora hei! ☹️ Haan bhul gaya - hamara hero saab Sunil ko achi rating dethi hu hame kyun ki inko patha hei kaise customers ko handle karna aur kaise things ko ufi karna like if you cannot do it or its not possible change the mood make customer forget what they asked for and live comfortably with what they were given.... Ye hei inka special talent isi keliye inko poora 5 rating specially. But sunil ji sabhi customers aise chill nahi hothe sara dhyan se kaam karna... And to the readers no it's not a paid review it's my very own personal review of my stay in banaras in my solo journey. You can reply to same comment and I shall respond with your queries as much as possible.
Had a really good 2-day stay at Moustache Hostel, Varanasi. The overall vibe of the place is super chill and perfect for travelers looking to relax and meet new people. The management is well-organized, and everything from check-in to daily arrangements was handled smoothly. The common areas are lively, and the atmosphere makes it easy to connect with fellow travelers. A special thanks to Yash (manager/owner) for being extremely helpful and welcoming—he really made the stay more comfortable and memorable. That said, there are a few small things that could be improved. There were quite a few mosquitoes around, especially in the evening, so carrying repellent helps. Also, the French fries I ordered were a bit too spicy for my liking when I was just trying to chill. The washroom cleanliness could be slightly better maintained as well. Apart from these minor issues, everything else was properly managed and enjoyable. Overall, it’s a great place to stay in Varanasi if you’re looking for a fun, social, and budget-friendly experience
I had a mixed experience at this stay. One major issue was that there was no proper board or sign outside the building, which made it very difficult and unsafe to locate, especially since I arrived at night. It took quite a bit of time to find the place. Another problem was the frequent power cuts. During the summer heat, staying inside the room without electricity became quite uncomfortable. Proper backup arrangements would really help improve the guest experience. The washroom instructions were also not communicated clearly. I was confused at night and only discovered the next morning that the washroom was located outside in the balcony area. This should definitely be informed to guests beforehand to avoid inconvenience. On the positive side, the common area was nice and well maintained, with snacks and drinks available, which was a thoughtful addition. Also, the payment process was smooth and hassle-free. Overall, the stay has some decent facilities, but better signage, clear instructions, and improved power management are needed for a more comfortable experience.
