Great vibe, nice breakfast and good tours”

We really enjoyed staying here for two nights The hostel is in a good location, the staff are friendly and the free breakfast plentiful. We took advantage of a couple of the tours which were a great way to see the city and to meet others staying at stops. Chai and biscuits are served at 3:30 which again is a nice way to meet others and exchange stories. The only negative was the private room was very cold and the heater didn’t really have much impact. The hostel can also arrange airport transfers which in a maze like Varanasi is really appreciated.

Nice Hostel with Good Atmosphere”

Wonderful, knowledgeable, easy going staff is the best part about Stops. Also I really appreciated the FREE breakfast (most hostels I've had to pay) and they coordinated many group activities. Though the A/C wasn't working in our room, I still slept comfortably. I wish it was slightly closer to the river but I think it's still a good location away from the major hustle/bustle of Varanasi. Would recommend!

This place is wonderful. We were here 5 nights - the place was clean with great communal areas for hanging out. Both staff and other guests were so lovely and friendly - we made great friends here. The tours are so informative and great value for money. Even in the low season it was busy! We'll be back!

Great place, fantastic people, good vibes. ”

This hostel is a little safe heaven in Varanasi. Although not on a super location you can reach everything notable within half an hour. There are numerous excursions that start from Stops and the guides speak English well. The place itself is well maintained and the common area's are well decorated. It's up to you to make the most of your stay and use the best thing here..., the fellow travellers that are also staying at Stops.

Great social stay”

Stops was a great place as a solo traveler. I stayed in the air-conditioned dorm room and it was clean, cool and the bathroom was great. The hostel had lots of social areas, so you could meet like minded travellers or find a quiet nook. Staff were a bit hit and miss, some were more interested in their phone then helping when you had questions. And it would be better to stay in the old part of town, which has really charming lanes. But great none-the-less.
