Ishan Paying Guest House

Location is great, walking distance to Assi ghat and lots of good place for drinks or dinner (ashish cafe, terracotta etc...). Room and common spaces are pretty clean, access to a rooftop, convenient for smokers.

We had no wifi in our room and had to go on the ground floor where the owner is living to access network. We were also supposed to have breakfast every morning but didn’t have it for 2 mornings because the owner was leaving the city. Also we asked the staff to help us book a train ticket, telling them the time and price we found online. They took care of this but book for another train (which was arriving at destination at 1am instead of 6am, and not in the city we needed to go but another one 1hours drive, not convenient at all) and they basically doubled the price for their commission.

the room was good and spacious , clean and quiet no problem at all for me!

if you are old age person ...don't stay in this guest house ..it is too far away from the main VISHWANATH MANDIR.. i mean really far..... .. you need to walk a lot ..or you have to pay every time you go out for roaming ... which was not acceptable for me ..plus there is no nearby good restaurants for eating around the guest house ....in my opinion it is better to book a guest house or hotel close to the Vishwanath Mandir...but everything was going fine for me and distance was not a problem for me at all as i was alone and no old age person was with me....but on the last day when i was about to leave ..one strange thing happened ...after paying my bill (i.e..Rs 4995 for 5 nights from 20 nov to 25 nov)..i asked the owner and his whole family for extra 2000 Rs change..as i was going to Agra that day after checkout and i didn't have change that time!... ..surprisingly the owner was little annoyed and he start conversation with me.. in the mean time he hide the extra 2000 rupees i had given him...and was acting as if i have not given him any money ....and his son in law suddenly argued with me to give ...another 2000 bucks.. i was in shock for a moment ...i think the owner was testing my patience as i was a solo traveler and surprisingly all his family members were also behaving as if i have not given him any money to change..... i being a traveller myself ... travelling the whole country for last 5 years have not experienced anything like that before...he could have cheated me on the spot by his cleverness for another 2000 rupees maybe he is good with other country citizens i don't know ...... whatever may be i am just sharing my own experience....but i didn't like his behavior at the last moment ..and i will advice everyone ... if you are solo traveler ...think twice before staying in this guest house!... in a nutshell i will say "this place not worthy for 2nd time visit "...
