Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere, staff around all day to help if needed. 15 minute walk to golden temple. For 200 rupees though you can't expect much more and it was still a good very cheap stay

    Staff was superb and really very friendly. Helped me with all the information that I enquired for. They gave me a free bunk bed to sleep as I checked in early which is exceptional. Cleanliness was amazing despite being a hostel with shared washroom. They even provided me with late night trustworthy conveyance which altogether makes it a fabulous package.
