I visited Sarnath last year but didn't see any hotel around.The only beautiful one was inside a tibetan's monastery that also offers rooms in their guest house .Are you interested in this kind of option?If yes ,check this site:

you have to go there and search by yourself.But i didn't notice any hotel or guest house,perhaps there are from the other side of Sarnath????I hope so.Otherwise you'll have to stay in Varanasi

There's the UPSTDC Rahi tourist bungalow. Has anyone stayed there?

In Sri Lanka I have heard of a German lady married to an Indian Gentleman who owns a guesthouse in Sarnath.

Googling for it brings me to this blog:

We're staying at a small guesthouse called Namo Buddha, run by an elderly German woman called Chris who's married to the funniest Indian man (Nehru) who's command of english, french, german, italian etc. as well as his general knowledge is just astounding! Chris cooks+bakes for us the tastiest foods (3 meals a day!), and the place itself is so quiet and peaceful!

See for yourself whether you can find their contact numbers online.

There a few places to stay in Sarnath - they're down past the old buddhist architectural remains, close to the museum. I met a lovely bunch of people there who were there for the Dalai Lama's visit. Everyone was so super friendly. A beautiful day.

Pantelis and atala, what you've described sounds just wonderful. I had a feeling Sarnath would be a real gem. The archaeological remains and museum are enough to draw me to the place, but the ambience your comments imply makes it all the more special. I am so looking forward to going there now.

Hi suryadakini,
It will be better , i think , if you stay @Varanasi.
From Varanasi , You will get lot of combinations(Can hire car or Auto)to visit Saranath and come back.
