This inner-courtyard guesthouse near the Vishwanath Temple is a pleasant diversion from the chaotic maze of alleyways that lead to it. For the price, it's clean enough and the 27 rooms, on the smaller side, are quiet when not taken over by Indian budget groups. The marble-laced lobby hogs a load of sunlight through the open atrium, and there's old-town views from the underused rooftop.
