Should I choose a Non AC Room in November?

I will be in Varanasi November 16-19. I have really good vibes about the Kedareswar B&B, but they only have non a/c rooms available. Am I crazy to consider a non a/c room or should I look elsewhere?

I also inquired at the Ram Bhawan Kautilya Society residence, but they do not have any rooms available with private bath.

I want to be comfortable in a good location. Any suggestions?

you are fine in my opinion. I have traveled to varanasi alot (mostly during march, april, may, june) and i have never had an ac room. In november it gets cool enough at night (around 65 degrees) too that you should be fine, as long as there is a fan. have a great time!

N. Ren, Thanks for your advise.

In Northern India between mid-October and January, you can be very comfortable withoutA/C -- go for the hotel that sounds good to you!

Wonderwomanusa, Thanks!

Yes, Varanasi will be pleasant in November. Days are still hot, but comfortable for walking around. Mornings and evenings are cool. Something lightweight but with long-sleeves might be best. Enjoy this great city!

Davidp80,

Thanks for your advise. I have confirmed my reservation for a non a/c room at the Kedareswar Guest House.

With non-a/c room, the temperature is not the only thing. A/c rooms may be sealed off and so there may be fewer mosquitoes. If you are carrying a mosquito repellant, then you should be fine.

iseeking has a good point. The other issue with non a/c rooms can be outside noise. I always get a/c rooms regardless of time of year; just my personal preference.

Iseeking and Namaste_cat,

Both good considerations. Thank you.

haha i always get non ac room for that very reason...i like the sounds of the streets to wake me up...just use a mosquito net to keep away bugs

N. Ren,

I guess I'll get the complete experience, since I booked an a/c room with a ganges view for 1 night and a non a/c room for 2 nights.

Thanks,

David W.

probably the perfect way to do it! there is no wrong way just personal preference. no matter what you will enjoy the city...it is always interesting to hear different ways different people enjoy experiencing varanasi!
