Varanasi is an amazing city to visit in India, and there are many different types of accommodation to choose from. But why should you choose a hostel over a hotel?

Hostels are a great way to meet other travellers and make friends from all over the world. They often have a social atmosphere with shared areas where you can relax and chat with others.

Hostels are also a great value for your money. They are usually much cheaper than hotels, and you can often get a private room for the same price as a dorm bed in a hotel.

Hostels can also be a great way to learn about the local culture. They often have staff and guests who are happy to share their knowledge and experiences of the city or country you are visiting.

So if you are looking for a fun, social and affordable way to stay in Varanasi, then look no further than a hostel!.
