Shiva Lodge is one of those places that instantly makes you feel at ease. The building itself has a special charm — full of character, clean, and with that unmistakable Varanasi atmosphere that’s hard to find anywhere else. It’s the kind of place where you feel the history in the walls, yet the comfort is very real. One of the highlights of my stay was the incredible dog who lives here. Friendly, gentle and full of personality, he greeted me every time I walked in, as if he’d decided I was family. He added so much warmth to the experience that I can’t imagine the lodge without him. The guesthouse is run by two wonderful sisters whose hospitality truly stands out. They’re kind, open-minded and genuinely fun to be around. We had many great conversations about life, the city and everything in between. Their help and friendliness made my time in Varanasi even more meaningful, and I’m sincerely grateful for that. What makes Shiva Lodge special is the balance it offers. Step outside and you’re immediately immersed in the intensity, devotion and energy of Varanasi. Step back inside and you’re in a peaceful, welcoming sanctuary where you can breathe, relax and recharge. If you want a place that lets you truly experience the spirit of this sacred city while feeling cared for and comfortable, Shiva Lodge is a wonderful choice. I fully recommend staying here.

Lovely place run by a kindhearted family. Everyone was so nice and helpful at Shiva Lodge, we stayed there for a week. Position is perfect, just few minutes from Dashashwamedh ghat. The place is colorful and gives good homey vibes and the view on the rooftop is special. In the morning you can see from your window the line of people waiting to enter in the small temple nearby.

I had an amazing time in Shiva Lodge. The location is perfect, literally next to the ghats and the main temples, yet in a mostly quiet alley. The room was basic but clean and comfy, hot water was available at all times during my stay (always a luxury in India) and the view from the rooftop was stunning. Last but not least, the family running the place is adorable and makes you feel right at home, far from the scrum outside

I had a wonderful stay here. You will be welcomed by the lovely hosts who are kind and always smiling. I felt more safe and at home at Shiva Lodge than anywhere else I stayed during my five weeks in India. It is located right in the middle of everything.

I stayed in the only room with the view of the Ganga which made the stay all the better. The ladies who run the lodge are lovely and very helpful. It's also really clean by Indian standards.
