Very nice hostel with clean rooms. The staff is great and helpful. You can enjoy on the rooftop. Nearby is a very good restaurant where you can eat (not the cheapest but the money). They oder loundery service in the hostel. Lockers in the room are avaible. Even my very big backpack fits inside. But I had one of the bigger lockers. To coonect with travelers it is the perfect place. And very near to the river. Down 20 meters is a playground for freeletics.small park. Bathrooms is cleaned often. Not too noisy. Good to sleep. The ledder for reaching the upper beds is a little difficult to climb.
Cave : there are some extra tax to pay each day. I didn't know that and was surprised. But was ok. You get the info via the emay when you book on booking.

Our stay at Moustache Hostel Varanasi was amazing. The hostel is located at a walking distance from Assi Ghat so you can walk and sit at the Ghat anytime you want. Even Kashi Vishwanath Temple is also 30-35 minutes walking distance away from the hostel so if you love to walk it can also be covered on foot. Special mention to Yash as he hosted us really well. He was very friendly and helped us with the itinerary, planning a return journey, good food recommendations and also maintaining a good social vibe in the common area. Also he was very professional and did a great job at making guests comfortable. The rest of the staff was also good. They have an in-house cafeteria where you can try their cheese chilli sandwich which I loved.
The washroom was clean and hygienic but it was very compact but it didn't affect the experience much.

Nestled in the heart of Banaras, the Mustache Hostel stands as a beacon of warmth and hospitality. The property is meticulously maintained, radiating a sense of home thousands of kilometers away. What truly sets Mustache apart is its staff; a dedicated team that not only meets but anticipates every need, ensuring a seamless and comfortable experience. From the moment I stepped in, I was enveloped in a welcoming embrace, akin to a long-awaited reunion with old friends. This sentiment of belonging was omnipresent, thanks to the genuinely caring nature of everyone, especially Mayank, whose kindness left an indelible mark on my heart. The hostel serves as a melting pot of cultures, bringing together travelers from diverse corners of the globe. It was a privilege to share stories, experiences, and form connections with such an eclectic group. The hostel's location is another feather in its cap, situated conveniently at Assi Ghat. This prime spot allowed for spontaneous adventures and deep dives into the spiritual essence of Kashi. Exploring the ghats, immersing in the local culture, and returning to the comforting confines of Mustache was a rhythmic dance of adventure and tranquility. I left enriched by the experience, carrying a piece of Banaras and the warmth of Mustache with me. A heartfelt thank you to the team for crafting such a memorable stay.

Good hostel near Assi Ghat (5 minutes walk more or less). It is accessible by taxi, unlike other accomodations in Varanasi that are located in narrow streets where the cars cannot access. Friendly and very helpful staff. They arranged a transfer by taxi from the airport and to the airport for 1200 Rupees each way. The hostel has a beautiful terrace on the rooftop with a bar that also serves good food for a fair price. Each bed is equipped with sockets (Very important), a light, a fan and a locker under the bed (You have to bring your own padlock). Bed sheets are included in the price, while you have to bring your own towel.
There are just two bathrooms for each floor. It would be useful to add a shower-box in the bathroom because at the moment it's difficult to have a shower without getting the floor of the bathroom wet.

Happening Place to chill and relax.. People coming here from all around the world. No restrictions .. Good Staffs
The Locker was an issue for me... Didn't give me the sense of security for my luggage even after I put a lock because the door remained half open and can easily be broken... I was carrying 2 laptops and whenever I went outside to visit places, I always had a worry somewhere in my mind about my belongings. Working and Quality People are coming here ,they don't come here to steal things yet you never know anyone's intention. If the Locker issue is fixed I think this Place is very Perfect.

The bed and the sheets were clean and felt very comfortable. Staff is very nice and will help you out with anything you need. Shower is hot in just a few seconds and pressure was more than decent. The room is quite big, it was actually the biggest one we've had in India. The rooftop terrace is nice to lay down and relax even though it was super hot at this time of the year. AC works perfectly. Hostel is bed bugs free.
WIFI didn't work for the whole duration of our stay (3 nights). We ordered pakoras on the rooftop and they were quite bad but maybe the other items on the menu are good! The hostel was a bit noisy at night, but that's common for this type of place.

I had an incredible 8-day stay at Moustache Varanasi, and it was made even more memorable by the vibrant Holi festival organized by the hostel. The staff, including Yash, Bheem, Shiva, Sunil and others were exceptionally friendly and made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The positive vibe of the hostel was infectious, creating an atmosphere of warmth and camaraderie among guests. I made many new friends during my stay, bonding over shared experiences and adventures in the enchanting city of Varanasi. The Holi festival organized by the hostel was an unforgettable experience, filled with colorful festivities and joyful celebrations. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had a fantastic time, creating lasting memories that I will cherish forever. Overall, my time at Moustache Varanasi was nothing short of amazing. From the welcoming staff to the vibrant atmosphere and the unforgettable Holi festival, it was truly a one-of-a-kind experience. I can't wait to return and create more memories at this wonderful hostel.
One minor issue I encountered was the presence of mosquitoes.
