HOTEL JSR KEDAR

I stayed here for about 2 weeks. The staff were great, very friendly and accommodating and also helped me with any requests I had ie room cleaning, laundry, where to go in the local area for things I wanted. The location is perfect, literally walk outside and there’s the steps to the Ganga. Very reasonable price.

No complaints.

Good property

Space

Har Har Mahadev ,🙏 A home away from home  it was from Dec23 to Dec 26'2025 ...and   just  a     few  steps   to the  ghats  dotting the sacred  banks  of the holy Mother Ganga. ..  the Magnificent Kedar Temple or  even  to the waiting boat  that  will bridge you to the famous temples. In Varanasi !. It is always what happens around the purpose of yourself visit that makes a journey ever so memorable !Hotel staff was ever so co-operative .  . They suggested boatman Babu who took us by ferry,( private) to the Mahadev temple .. Babu  helped us reach it ..arranged lockers and a Brahmin to help us inside  and waited till we  returned  . Small concern makes a stay ever so blissful!.  I  was at Varanasi for a Bharatanatyam performance at the Shankaracharya Ghat and  the Ashram of His holiness  Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati who  is a prominent spiritual leader associated with Varanasi. It was heaven going to the waiting venue and returning to the Hotel ever so easily !  The proximity of the Ashram and every other place .. especially waking up to  breathe in the Sacred river Ganga in the early serene mornings was a soulful experience.  In the heaven that is Varanasi resonating with temple bells and 'Har Har Mahadev'  you do not seek material flashiness .. What you seek  is a caressing spirituality complimenting the holy city that has you awaken to the fact that no permanence  can ever happen on the shifting sands of life .. The cosy  terrace with tables arranged neatly  and smiling hands serving hot parathas  and tea  .. The Manager  and  reception staff  were pleasant and concerned about every aspect .Need one ask for more  when shrouded in a reaching  holiness . A visit to Varanasi is not a pleasure cruise but an experience of realisation .. of birth and death, of  hope   and wounds transforming to a challenge one learns from and  ofcourse - a Karma one walks with We  will  return and continue to stay there in our next visit too ..

The location… though one has walk through the narrow lanes but it’s okay

Unclean bedsheets, pillow cover, no night lamp in the room. If a room doesn’t have a window at least night lamps should be there, I had to put on some lights for the entire night otherwise it would have been pitch black. Uncomfortable bed mattress. I had to cut off one more day and hence I stayed for just one night because I had paid
