Hey Jayanti, I am studying in Varanasi from last 5 years (BHU). Best location to book hotel is Near Lanka, Assi ghat or Godowlia. And if you are looking for a budget stay, there is a Zostel in Godowlia near PDR cinema (Rs300 for one person,24 hours open, drinks allowed, they play daily one movie for backpackers at night). Search on www.hostelworld.com.
UpvoteCommentThings to do in Varanasi : 1) Sarnath (Take an auto from BHU main gate or Lanka, Rs 50 per person) 2)Temples like Old Vishwanath temple, Sankat Mochan, Birla Mandir. 3)Evening Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat. After aarti walk from Dashashwamedh to Assi ghat ( it will take 20 minutes. Most of the ghats of Varanasi will be covered.) 4)Wake up at 4:30 AM and go to Assi ghat and see morning aarti and sunrise.After that take a boat ride that will take you across all the ghats (Rs50 in share boat ) 5)You can also go to Devdari or Rajdari waterfalls if you have more days. 6)And for the delicacies try Bhaang Thandai (In godowolia),Non veg at Shah chicken (nayi Sadak in Godowolia), Kerala Cafe (Bhelupur), Paav bhaaji (at Assi ghat), Kullad vali chai (At Kashi cafe at Assi ghat), Lassi from pehelwan lassi (Lanka).

I was in Varanasi in Nov 2018, it's an amazing experience, lot's of people, food, ganga aarthi, ritual's, wow it was an entirely different experience. I stayed in near dashashwamedh ghat which is near for everything, assi ghat is far if you wanted to attend ganga aarthi and shopping.... if you prefer staying in the hostel try mustache hostel which is cheap and best near assi ghat.

Hi Jayanti, This one time when I was planning to celebrate Holi in Varanasi, I had looked up Zostel. It looked pretty vibrant and I believe they celebrate Holi too. Check out the link below:
