I had an amazing experience during my stay at Backpackers Nest Hotel. The staff, especially Manav and Prince, were outstanding. Manav went above and beyond to ensure our safe arrival, even guiding the auto driver over the phone and sending another staff member outside the hotel to assist us. The hotel is incredibly safe, especially for women, which was very reassuring. The cleanliness and hygiene were impeccable—I’d give it a solid 5 out of 5. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and secure stay!

-Location was perfect. It really is closest you can get to the center for the low price. Right next to the Partition museum/plaza where you can access starbucks, nice restuarants, and cafes. Also, right next to the restaurant, Bharawan Da Dhaba Amritsar. I'm not joking, go and try the dali deals there. One of the best food I've had in my three weeks in india. -The owner and staff were very nice. They really make an effort to help you in your travels and sightseeing. She also has numbers of different tourist agencies and has number for the bus driver that takes tourists to the wagah border ceremony for a very very cheap price. -The rooms were very spacious and clean overall, the A/C was crucial for us because it was boiling hot when we went. It was working perfectly

-We stayed two different times here and I one of the room really needed renovation because the walls were messy and the restroom could use some maintenance as well. Our second room was smaller but much cleaner and nicer looking. -The first time we stayed., there was no hot water, which seems to be the norm in india if you're staying at a budget place. Second time, the water was warmer but didn't get hot. -There was one night one of the staff was blasting music or movie/show? Not sure why he needs to have it on such a high volume when the place is quiet... lol

The place was in a Hotspot. Just a stone's throw away from Partition Museum this place is a hidden gem. I went in mid January, and it was very cold and foggy the entire day. Although non veg food around this street is less, it has a lot of vegetarrifood options within 100m. The road is aesthetically beautiful. The staff and the manager were extremely sweet and nice and dealt with any issues I Had very promptly. The staff were well behaved and it was a safe place to stay which is quite important as a solo female traveller.

The hostel is very well located, almost in the centre of Amritsar. The room was spacious and comfortable. It had air conditioning which was essential in the hot weather we had in India. Breakfast was simple but ok for what you would expect from a hostel. Overall good value for your money.

When we had the room next to us occupied, we could hear everything that was happening next door. We never knew when breakfast time was and every time we asked for it looked like the staff were not sure if you could have it or something (looked like a complicated task).

Location is perfect. Close to every touristy spot in Amritsar. The staff is very helpful, they ensured I had the most comfortable stay; helped me with places to go and food to eat. Truely genuine people. The room was super clean. I loved how the staff was always helpful and not too nosy about everything; would love to stay back again. The place is safe for solo women traveller too..

it was clean - the receptionist was really awesome guy - on top of it i never had kulcha - he ordered amritsari kulcha for breakfast - i loved it . as a genius reviewer of booking.com i can say i can go ahead and book it again along with refering it to others . the location is prime to every thing - it was a hussle to find their board at first but - the vibes the positive energy on the way u enter - there was a lord ganesha statue the moment you walk in mini temple made it so gud - plus by morning there was a person changing flower and doing a puja which was a great start to the day - overall i can sum it up as a good stay . A pat on ur back to all folks working with backpacker’s nest you as a team make it happen so keep up your standards and continue to do better .

the space was small and shower was too rust and kinda damage - it took me a while to figure out the right presure so water doesnt spill out of the top of shower so thats one thing they can improve on .

The Backpacker's Nest is really a comfortable stay. It's so close to all the main sites of the city. The main Market also surrounds the place. You can go shopping, if you feel you have a lot of shopping bags, come back to the hotel keep your bags in your room, have a breath and start it again 😃. And the staff is very helpful. Thank you guys.

I couldn't find anything

Amazing location in Amritsar. The owner and her team are extremely helpful!! Also restaurants around are great places to eat and you are walking distance from Golden Temple. We stayed here few nights and it was amazing, they also organised the wagah border visit.

Maybe with breakfast add coffee as we dont drink tea but nothing major

It was a nice stay at backpacker’s nest. Location wise it is great, everything is within walking distance (most of nearby sightseeing). Many famous food restaurants and places are nearby as well. Service and reception was good. If you have any doubts/questions regarding shopping/sightseeing/booking tickets to your next location or anything, just ask to ma’am or at reception they will help you throughout. The only thing was lacking is wardrobe in the room, which wasn’t there to keep clothes specially when you’re with friends or family trip. Room looks so messy all the time and hard to manage. Rest everything was awesome. :) Highly recommended. :)

Wardrobe in the room. Room size could have been better (family suite).
