You And I Cafe - Varanasi

Family-run homestay steps from Dasaswamedh Ghat

Location and Access

You And I Cafe Varanasi is situated on Bengali Tola Road, a narrow alley that leads directly to the ghats. Guests reach Dasaswamedh Ghat in a 2-minute walk and the Kashi Vishwanath Temple is also within a short distance. Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport is 28 km away, and the area is quiet with no nearby traffic.

Room Types and Comfort

The homestay offers Deluxe Double Rooms and a Triple Room with Balcony, all equipped with air conditioning and private bathrooms. Some rooms include a river-facing window or balcony that overlooks the Ganges, along with a TV and electric kettle. Guests also receive free toiletries and slippers, with tiled floors and shared bathroom options available in certain room types.

Dining and Rooftop Cafe

You and I Café features a rooftop terrace with views of the Ganga where freshly cooked meals are served. A vegetarian breakfast is offered daily, and the chef Shashi Bhaiya prepares food with care. The café menu includes local Indian dishes, but desserts are not currently available.

Host Services and Local Assistance

Owner Yash (also referred to as Ashutosh Chaturvedi) helps guests with Indian SIM cards, train tickets to Delhi, and arrangements for Ganga Aarti seating at Assi Ghat. He also invited a family to a private family gathering for a traditional lunch during one stay. The host is the sole person managing the property, so self-support is expected for luggage due to the narrow lanes.

Family-Friendly Atmosphere

The homestay is family-friendly with rooms that accommodate groups and families, including a Triple Room with Balcony. No lift is available, so guests with walking difficulties may need assistance for rooms on the second floor. The property offers privacy, a safe environment for walking at night through the galis, and no restrictions on in-out timing.
