Amritsar's Old City surrounds you with spiritual energy that feels almost tangible. The Golden Temple's dome shimmers in sacred waters while devotees chant prayers throughout the day.

Save room for kulcha, a local bread stuffed with potatoes and served with chickpea curry from streetside vendors who've perfected recipes over generations.

One of the best hotels to stay when you’re visiting Amritsar and specially Golden Temple. It’s just few seconds away from golden temple. And is always lit up. Very positive vibes. Staff of hotel is very accommodating and food from their restaurant is priced very reasonably low. And taste of their in-house food is good too. This would be my all time favourite hotel stay whenever I am in Amritsar.
