Namaste!
Welcome to NILAY House, a boutique homestay with locations in the heart of both Varanasi and Ayodhya.
Created by Dutch and Indian friends with a shared love for hospitality, culture and meaningful travel, NILAY House is designed to feel warm, personal and relaxed — a true home away from home.
Whether you are here to explore ancient temples, wander through hidden lanes, experience local traditions or simply slow down for a few days, we look forward to welcoming you into our homes and sharing a small piece of India with you.

Our story
Together, we created NILAY House from a shared dream.
Kuldeep, founder of WOV Tours, Sakchhi from Sparrow Cafe, and Margaret from Namasté Reizen and House of NILAY, first met through a mutual friend. Despite coming from different backgrounds and cultures, we quickly discovered that we shared the same vision: to create a place where travellers truly feel at home.
Not just a hotel, but a warm and welcoming house where guests feel safe, slow down from the chaos of travel, and connect with both the city and fellow travellers. A place filled with books, fresh flowers, handmade textiles, long conversations over chai, and little details that make a place feel lived in and loved.
NILAY House is a reflection of everything we personally love when travelling — comfort, character, meaningful connections and the feeling of belonging, even when you are far from home.
