Shiva Lodge

Not to be confused with the much more expensive Shiva Guesthouse... The Shiva Lodge has only about ten rooms on three levels. Very interesting prices, very simple rooms and clean sanitary facilities and the family on the ground floor is really very welcoming. Very close to the Ganges, great view from the roof and yet nothing like the many other guesthouses (factories) overlooking the Ganges and very expensive. Ideal for early risers, thanks to the temple right next door which is very busy with devotees from 5:30 am (the best time in Varanasi...). I highly recommend it as the prices are very low.

Rooftop view is the best and is what you will miss the most after checkout. Budget friendly and Located in walking distance from the Dashashwamedh ghat and the Kashi Vishwanath temple Gate no. 2 . Owners are also very nice. I can't thank them enough for their hospitality. I Totally recommend this place..

We felt at home at this special place. It was a relief to move into our cozy room at the Shiva Lodge, after we had a bad experience at one of the pricy bunkers in Varanasi. Pinky was an amazing host and you see and feel that she put her heart and soul into the Shiva Lodge. The rooftop terrace is like a peaceful little oasis where you can watch squirrels and the Ganges of course. The fact that the Lodge is right next to a temple, where pilgrims start lining up and chant early in the morning just added up to a very deep and wonderful experience of the indian culture and the soul of Varanasi. We would always come back and stay here at Shiva Lodge. What a wonderful place!
