    Perfect Budget friendly stay

    megha p.solo

    Livefree hostels are always a good stay, easy on pocket and have friendly vibes... Varanasi LF hostel also meets same.. Dorms are spacious, clean and with almost all amenities needed. One point for which i couldn’t give 5⭐️ is absence of lift/elevator.. Front desk staff Ms.Amberi is very helpful and friendly. A perfect combination for a reception at hostel, she has calmness and perfect managerial skills.. 5⭐️ for Amberi...

    I booked a single room. It was decent with everything properly functioning. Including hair dryer. Only wish is if they frequently clean the common washroom, then it would really be great

    Peaceful Stay in the Heart of Varanasi Loved my stay at this hostel in Varanasi! The location is perfect — very close to Dashashwamedh Ghat. The atmosphere is calm, rooms are clean, and the staff is really friendly. Perfect for both short and long stays. I’ll definitely stay here again on my next visit!

    The location of Live Free is absolutely prime, just walking distance from Assi Ghat. The vibe here is great, the common area outside is aesthetic, and really nice groups stay here.

    aparna g.couple

    Located at very prime location ,just few steps away from Assi Ghat at a very affordable price.Calm n soothing environment inside the hostel.Food provided by the cafe was way too good than expected.Hosts were so good and friendly.The environment is safe for girls travelling solo or in group also.Hygiene well maintained. Overall you get a good vibe from here. Since it's a hostel, u need to carry all your toiletries by yourself and a towel too.
