Fantastic garden and antique interior design of a colonial residence. Charming patios. Very spacious and comfortable room. Good food. Very friendly and helpful staff.

The owner tries to be nice, but is too greedy, what spoils an impression. For any extra service like taxi, spa, charges "a fortune". For example, a taxi to Amritsar airport costs 400 RS. He tries to get 2500 RS and pretends, that he doesn't understand a difference and offers 10% discoult. We took Uber :). The staff are nice kind and helpful people, far more, than the owner.

Such a wonderful gem. This place is tranquility itself, with wonderful people and delicious food that follows a farm to fork philosophy. We did not use the spa facilities that are also available, though can see how well that would fit into the overall ambience. The building is filled with history and beautifully decorated. The rooms are very spacious and incredibly comfortable. As you wander from your room to the breakfast area, or library, or sitting room you pass tranquil gardens and many a nook and cranny to tuck yourself away into. The team here are happy to help organise anything you might wish to do. I can not recommend it enough.

Ranjit's Svaasa is a delightful oasis of calm tucked away from a busy road in the more modern area of Amritsar. The main building takes you back in time to an era of privilege, but the bedroom was spacious and stylishly decorated with all 'mod cons'. The character of the hotel was complimented by charming gardens which wove around the Marigold Hotel-esque courtyards and made you feel cut off from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. The staff were excellent, very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. On arrival, you immediately felt welcomed as if into a family home. The separate dining room served the best breakfasts and evening meals to order were very good. A lot of the fresh ingredients are grown in the hotel allotment. The chef took time out of his busy day to give us a cookery lesson, instructing us (through the translation of the lovely hotel manageress) how to cook a selection of local traditional dishes which we then ate for dinner. The manageress also booked us a wonderful guide (Sonny) and driver to show us the sights of Amritsar and the Wagah Border Ceremony (not to be missed for entertainment value!) The hotel is a 10 minute tuk tuk ride from the old town and the spectacular Golden Temple, worth seeing both by day and night. Make sure not to miss the amazing 24/7 Community Kitchen too.

Nothing! Would love to re-visit,

We adored our two nights at Ranjit’s Svaasa. It is a beautiful old home tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Amritsar. Our room was extremely spacious, clean and atmospheric. The bed was so comfy and the toiletries for our hair/body were luxurious. The breakfast was delicious and they packed us a yummy breakfast to go when we left early for the train. The staff here are wonderful and kind. The lovely two fellows on the gate made us feel like we were returning home with their friendliness. The ladies in the office were darlings and helped us with anything we needed. The hotel organised a driver, Hans, out to the Wagah Border ceremony ( not to be missed)! He was a fabulous driver and we enjoyed chatting to him. Do not miss Amritsar. I have travelled all around India and found this to be one of the friendliest cities. The Golden Temple is equal to visiting the Taj Mahal…an oasis of calm and beauty. Lastly don’t forget to buy some Amritsar juttis (slippers)! At $6 Australian they were a bargain and a fun reminder of an amazing destination. Thank you Ranjit’s we’ll be back.

A delightful haven in busy Amritsar! Our room was clean, comfortable and cosy. The garden was a quiet sanctuary in the middle of a bustling city. The staff were welcoming and helpful. The food delicious. If you like a tranquil place to stay, this is the pace for you!

It’s a little out of the city of Amritsar and there’s not much around close by in the way of eateries etc. This was fine for us, but if you want to be close to the action, this may not be the place for you.

Excellent! Although travelling alone, I felt 100% safe here. My room was clean, large and ‘palatial’ for a guest house. Hans the driver picked me up from the airport in the middle of the night, took me to Wagah Border and was a taxi when I went into the centre - 100% reliable and he looked after me. Thank you!

Would have been nice to have a map with information on where you can get things locally in room eg toiletries, snacks. Getting a haircut, a good cafe fir a coffee, etc

I had two meals at the hotel and it was absolutely incredible food and friendly, helpful service :) The decor of the hotel is beautiful especially in and around the reception, hallway and dining areas. I have to especially thank the front desk reception staff who helped me check out late at night before a very early flight, assisted with a wake-up call and helped even more when I accidentally dropped my passport on the ground at the airport when leaving (!) - the driver very kindly called the front desk to go back and check in my room in case it was there! Profuse thanks to the whole team for your kindness.

The property is quirky with lots of character. The staff were exceptional going out of their way to help in every way. The food is great breakfast and dinner. The owner is delightful and very present.

The only reservation is the time of year (winter/Dec/Jan) . The property would be amazing anytime with its terraces and gardens, a true oasis in a bustling city but in winter, the lack of central heating and drafts from an older property are challenging to those of us used to creature comforts.

The hotel is beautiful with old-world charm and lots of attention to details. The bed was huge and comfortable. Staff is nice and attentive, also helping us with transport to the border ceremony after a taxi canceled on us. A huge thanks to their driver, Hans, who answered our endless questions about daily life in the area. We had to stay quite a while after checkout and it wasn't a problem to sit in the various public àreas and order lunch.

Only thing was that we arrived early, and even though our room was ready- they wanted an extra charge for early check in. It's normal but not necessary...

Ranjit's Svaasa is a memorable, architecturally distinctive property with plenty of history and character with gracious common spaces and spacious guestrooms and bathrooms. The dining room where we had breakfast was a lovely newer addition to the property and the staff was very attentive. The hotel is a 20 min. walk from the train station.

The guest room I stayed in had small, shuttered windows which didn't afford any kind of view or much natural light and was a bit musty. The check-in process was long and awkward.
