I booked a double bed private for me and my colleague as we do not wanted to share the dorm beds with others as this was a new place for us. The room we got was in a two bedroom set up where one room was somebody's private property, our room was within that premises and had it's lock broken so we couldn't lock our room from inside even for safety and privacy purposes. Moreover, the care taker of the hostel is a creepy person who keeps wandering around you if you are in the common area, creepily checks out women from up and down. There is an old women who lives in the private may be was the owner or someone it was her home, she was also nosy and bossy asked us where we were whole unnecessarily. There's no privacy and safety in this hostel. We then pushed the manager to shift us to other room or give us the women's dorm area for us if the lock is not getting fixed ( which happened after two days, he shifted us. The common area between the dorm and the kitchen wasn't safe at all for women, to go to kitchen to get even water you need to cross the common area which was fully dark in the night no lights at all and i realised while i was going to get water there was a man sitting in the area's sofa and drinking alcohol sneakily, nobody could even see. This property is the worst i have ever came across in varanasi. Very very unsafe and creepy for women travellers. Moreover, the aro water bottle they keep in the fridge has sand in it. Unnecessary high price of breakfast. Worst place ever
