I had an amazing stay at Flying Dutchman Hostel in Varanasi. The hostel is very clean, comfortable, and located just a short walk from Assi Ghat, making it perfect for exploring the city. The dorms and rooms are well maintained, the beds are comfortable, and the common areas have a great backpacker vibe. The staff members are extremely friendly and helpful. They assisted with local recommendations, boat rides, and places to visit around Varanasi. The atmosphere is social and welcoming, making it easy to meet fellow travelers from different countries. The hostel is peaceful at night, yet close to cafes, ghats, and all the major attractions. The garden area and common spaces create a relaxing environment after a day of exploring the city. If you are a solo traveler, backpacker, or even a group of friends visiting Varanasi, I highly recommend Flying Dutchman Hostel. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit to Varanasi.

I loved it here! The hostel is super clean and comfy. The girls running the hostel are also incredibly helpful, they recommended me so many different places in Varanasi I would not have known otherwise. I was going to stay 2 nights and I ended up staying a whole week here. I totally recommend yovibe!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

great hostel, exactly what you’d expect from a backpacker hostel. Great common area (games room, guest shower, terrace with kitchen). Really makes for a relaxed atmosphere. we stayed for holi, and when things got a bit rowdy in town we came back here where there was a really nice party (very safe, with checks of who was allowed in and who not). the people who work there are super friendly and accommodating for traveler’s needs (clear info and help, even provided extra soap and towel to use for our post holi shower). highly recommend!

Perfect location. The hostel really exceeded my expectations, super clean and great facilities. Staff were friendly and all the people I met were friendly too. It felt super safe. The neighbourhood was also very safe. Great location for the old town. I was sad to leave and will return!
