Tourist GuestHouse: Backpackers in Amritsar

Nice place to stay with a few backpackers here and friendly staff.

The tourist guesthouse is off the road so you will get some peace and quiet from the traffic outside.

Unique Quality: The tourist guest house is nothing fancy but has all the basic you will need for a 1-2 night stay.

Sorry forgot how much I paid for a room but could not have been more than 300rs

There also have a dorms aswell.

Lucky Guest House: Nice little find

Lucky Guest House was pick from the LP gude to India , as the hotel we booked by recomendation was the pitts and they did not send driver to pick us up from the train station.
Than I had to look somewere to say, it was 6am, so I opened LP gude book and choose Lucky and we were so glad that we end up in Lucky's!!
The guest house gone trought some vigorous renovation and now it is more of an hotel than guest house.
Altough they do not have proper restaurant, they have amazing rooftop tarace from which you can see the Golden temple compaund in the distance.
It is situated on the crosroads of smaller street & main road in the hart fo town some 100m south from the entrance of the Golden Temple and about 20m from Jallinwala Bagh Memorial Gardens....
We paid Rs 500 for dubble room, which was clean, with cable TV & western WC and AC, altought it had celling fan too.
They offer pick up service from the Airport or Train station...

Unique Quality: The Lucky is not only clean and comfortable, but is situated on very nice spot. it is jut arround the corner in smaller street, but somehow still on the main road leading to the temple.
You can walk everywere, the Golden temple is near by, the Memorial Gardens, many temples, Post Office, banks,restaurants, old Bazzar....

Joggi Guest House: Home away from Home!

Simple clean place.They pick you up from the Railway station and you can have unlimited trips (oneway) to the Golden Temple.An excellent Breakfast is inclusive.Meals are a bit limited, only vegetarian , but fresh tasting and quite superb.Location is OK but the free trip to Golden temple makes up.

Unique Quality: The owner Mr.Harpreet Singh kohli is a wonderful man and if you need comfortable seats at the wagah border, he has connections with India's Border Security Force Customs-He organised VVIP seats for us !

Hotel Golden Heritage: Very new

This is a brand new hotel located in the maze of little streets between the Golden Temple and Jallianwala Bagh. To say it's new is an understatement as they were still building and fitting out rooms on the next floor up from mine. You always get some idea as to what your room will look like by the general decor at reception and in the passageways and they were sparkling new and clean. The room I had was great with lovely new curtains and the smell of fresh paint. It had a large TV, large doublebed, fitted wardrobe with dried paint drips!, cabinet with mirror, chair and ceiling fan. The bathroom had the usual WC but there was no shower head so I had to use a bucket. The tiles still had putty on them where they hadn't been wiped down but it was all OK. The views over the Golden Temple complex are great. My room was Rs500/night.

The Golden Temple

Stay at the Golden Temple!

If your purpose is to visit the temple, why not stay where the 'pilgrims' stay? On the south side of the temple is a hostel that is part of the complex. Ask people for the NRI accomodations (Non-resident Indian), and they will set you up in a room for only 200 Rupees (less than $5)

The room is sparse, but there is hot water. You can leave your shoes in the room as you make your way to the Temple.

Mrs. Bhandari's Guest House: Amritsar in Style

I really enjoyed very much the four days I spent in Amritsar at Mrs. Bhandari's...The room was wonderful, will be posting fotos and the house and grounds were a welcomed peacefull relief, and on those boiling afternoons in Amritsar a dip in the pool was just what was needed.

Here is a vbiref description:

There are two good reasons to visit Amritsar. One is to see the Golden Temple, the holiest shrine of the Sikhs; the other is to stay at Mrs. Bhandari’s. This perfectly preserved late-Raj family residence is situated off a leafy road in Amritsar’s Cantonment area. It’s presiding spirit, Mrs. Bhandari, is now aged 91. She has been living in the house since 1930 and takes pride in the fact that “nothing has changed” – apart from such newfangled additions as air-conditioning in some of the guest rooms, and a fax machine in the office. It is true: to go through the red brick gatehouse marked No.10 is to enter a time warp. The main house is in colonial style with Art-Deco touches, softened by climbing bougainvillea. It is surrounded by an English garden with brick paths, pergolas and arches, the whole screened off from the hubbub of the outside world by mature trees. The guest wing is a long single-story affair, with a verandah looking onto lawns. The layout of the rooms is similar to “chummeries” – the bachelor quarters allocated to junior Raj officials and box wallahs.

Unique Quality: Furnishings are simple, almost Spartan, with colonial-style furniture and faded prints. Dinner was served in the parlor. With its Army&Navy Stores’ stoneware water filter, its orderly piles of patterned crockery (including Mabel Lucy Attwell children’s plates, circa 1945) and vast soup tureens, this room would have made an impeccable set for The Jewel in the Crown. And the menu was pure Anglo-Indian; cream of vegetable soup, butter chicken and roast potatoes with three veg, followed by crème caramel. Back in my room there was a new bundle of wood to build up the fire. The sheets were fresh from the dhobi and had the sun on them that afternoon. Breakfast at Mrs. Bhandari’s tends to be a leisurely process. We sat on a terrace beside the sunken rose garden, watching a flock of electric-green parakeets assemble on their favorite branch, while plates of papaya with fresh lime, and toast with home-made jams, and perfectly poached eggs followed each other in slow succession. Then Mrs. Bhandari put in an appearance. She may be old enough to have heard the shooting on April 13, 1919, the day of the infamous Amritsar Massacre, but Mrs. Bhandari remains, a very lively lady. I sat entranced as she spoke of the “old days”, before the partition of India and Pakistan, when she used to “pop over” to Lahore for shopping and a the-dansant. “Oh, Lahore used to be such a beautiful city,” she sighed, “but those days are gone. I haven’t been back since 1947…It’s like a dream now.” Yet, in the enclosed world that Mrs. Bhandari and her daughters have created, something of that dream world lives on.

Hotels nearby Golden Temple: Hotels nearby Golden Temple

Around Golden Temple built lots of reasonable hotels, no need to panic or listen to travel agents telling you " No more hotels because it's peak season..." My opinion is to relax, leave your luggage inside the Golden Temple for a while, to explore the surroundings for hotels you prefer.
