Somit Paying Guest House

I stayed with Somit for two consecutive years. The first year, I was volunteering with children, and the second year I returned on my own. During my first visit, I was looking for a place where I could have someone reliable to turn to if needed, and that is exactly what I found. Somit, his wife, and his mother are wonderful people who helped me a lot, not only with advice but also in difficult situations. For example, when I had to get to the airport and it was impossible to find a taxi because the roads were blocked, they went out of their way to help me, speaking with. They were incredibly kind, caring, and supportive throughout my stay. I am very grateful for their hospitality. If you are looking for a simple, authentic place where you can enjoy delicious homemade food, I would highly recommend staying with them. Over my two visits, I spent a total of 15 days there, eating breakfast and dinner every day, and I always enjoyed the food and never experienced any issues..

Staff are very welcoming and helpful. They have trips you can book directly from the hostel. It is a very sociable environment and the roof top provides a nice hang out area.

Such a lovely guest house, Somit was so helpful and kind when we needed advice. the location is perfect there is a huge range of great activities. Wonderful cause too they do great work educating lovely children.

Took a bit of finding in the alleys but once here great. Very friendly welcome. Good English. Not posh but value for money . Other backpackers to share stories with. Good simple food . Relaxing roof top with distant views to Ganges. Great location to explore from. Last but not least , lovely to be able to help with the children schooling project 4-6pm everyday except Sunday. Thank you Somit

Very good location, staff and environment will recommend to all.
