Not a good place Not good service- bad really bad
This hotel is a dump. I was given a room my first night with a hole in the wall not even patched or covered simply just there, right next to my bed stand. Then I decided to pull the covers and the mattress was ripped, in really bad condition and it seemed like bugs were coming out of it- a rotten mattress (nice one). Tha bathroom looked dingy and run down and the cabinet/closet in room 202 smells awful, dirty for what it seemed like three centuries worth of dust, just awful. I was moved to a better room after I called booking because when I called the reception the manager (shameless person) didn’t seem to care of my issues with the room, very dismissive. Then the internet, this really did it for me, I was disconnected in a foreign country, single female traveler for three whole days. I had to go outside and find someone to let me borrow their hotspot so my family could know I was okay. The golden temple is beautiful but please DO NOT stay in this hotel. I asked for some kind of refund for all of my troubles, after all I paid $30 per night- that’s a lot of money for a hotel in India, nope the manager didn’t care and just said I seemed to be the only person with internet problems.. yea for the entire stay, sure I was. It is safe to say I would NEVER stay here again and hopefully booking does right by me and reimbursed at least one night of my stay.

This hotel is in a bad shape. Pictures shown doesn’t gives the right picture. Not managed in a professional manner. Location of this hotel is perfect for pilgrims of Golden temple. It needs complete revamp and fresh look for management.

I just used the rooms to sleep in as i was out in Amritsar all day. This hotel is very basic and a bit tatty, the rooms are nothing like the pictures BUT it was very clean, comfortable and the staff were impeccable, every need was met with a smile, fir the price and location, u really cannot go wrong. Saleem was really exceptional though and had a great sense of humor

It was convenient to visit the Golden Temple. Very close. They did not include breakfast in the room tariff.we had to Rs 150 for breakfast each person which was not good at all. No cut fruit or juice no toast butter! Where foreigners visit every day Puri Aloo noodles. When you are charging why not add some fruit?

Worst hotel ever. Room, wifi and food-Disasters
Sheets were dirty. It gave me a rash on my face. Wifi was out of order for the whole time. And, breakfast was possibly the worst I have had at any hotel ever. There is so many better hotels and so much good food around in Amritsar. Totally spoilt my trip. Don't stay here at all.

Hotel next to Golden temple
I will not be carrying any good memories with me. I had to change my room twice in three days stay. Taps are leaking. one has to hold the shower head directing to you otherwise water hits the wall. No batteries in the remote.You can't change the channels. I had to go to reception in the middle of night to get the remote changed. I had checked in late night.Rooms was stinking. Got the room changed next day. here also taps were leaking and other things were slightly better. Hotel has construction going on in upper floors with a result room had dust everywhere. Accommodation not worth the charges.

Terrible experience
One of the worst experience so far in a hotel that claims to have international standards. Rude staff no courtesy at all. Hopeless food , on ordering a grilled sandwich we get bread toast stuffed with thick pieces of cucumber and tomatoes. No hygiene and standard maintained . Today when we all have LED at our home this hotel still had big TV which was not working at all and even after complaining of the same no one bothered to check. Utterly poor and pathetic services. They should ideally change the name from international hotel to CJ LODGE. Billing was done incorrect topping it all. Imagine the state of hotel and the style of working . Poor poor and poor hospitality and standard.

Overall needs a big improvement in services
1. The stay was ok. Very near to Golden Temple. Better if they give tariff rates for trips through Cabs. The rates given are arbitrary. No proper logic provided. 2. Closet water keeps on flushing and does not stop. 3. Food when ordered from Restaurant comes from outside hotels and not cooked in the CJ international.

Disappointed
I have stayed in this hotel in 2010, 2013 and this time from 14th to 16 April 2015. To my dismay, the condition of this hotel has deterioted very badly. wow, bathroom leaking, and the hotel is looking so shabby in the interior. I was very disappointed and I dont think I will take this hotel again when I come next no doubt it is the walking distance to the Harminder Sahib is just less than 5 minutes away.

Could have been so much better!
Firstly, The hotel was a nightmare to get to in a car. When we got there, we had requested a room where there were no steps as my mother cannot walk. They could not provide this so we had to pay extra to upgrade to another room. The electric socket to make tea did not work in the room. There was no hot water coming out and was only dripping out. No one came to fix these. Room service was a bit slow and we didn't get what we ordered - however, the food received was nice. On the plus side, The room was clean, the staff were friendly, they provided my mother with a wheel chair, the upgraded room had a nice view.

Well positioned hotel
Hotel is literally seconds from Harmandir Sahib which makes it ideal if the focus of your trip is to spend time there. Initial room I was given had a very small bathroom with some water leaks, on complaining the following day was moved to a larger and cleaner one. Hotel staff are very friendly and helpful and it's easy to find someone who speaks English. By Amritsar standards an OK hotel

For two nights it was OK. It is so near to Golden
Access to the hotel was not easy due to construction going on. For short visit it is OK and service is very good. Staff very cordial and helpful. Bedroom was reasonably OK as compared to the cleanliness of the city. Available food is once again manageable if you do not want to eat outside. Hope after construction front will be better.

The reception desk attendant needs to be more courteous. The room bed size is too big for the room size, there is less space to open/close wardrobe. Lot of work is going on in the surroundings and the scene was not very pleasant at this time although the hotel has great location close to Durbar Sahib.

Great location
Our stay was good. Experience of Wagha border visit is not up to the expectation. At the entry point, families are separated - gents and ladies. No proper crowd management by BSF. Children had a tough time to enter because of boisterous crowd. Mobile phones did not work due to Jammers. After the ceremony, locating the family members is a big problem especially at a remote location. No proper public transport at this place to Amritsar.
