The rooms were pretty good. It was bang opposite to Partition museum and walking distance to Shri Harmandir Sahib. Breakfast was included in the package and it was good. I would just like to give a suggestion to include some other options as well for breakfast as we had Aloo paratha everyday. The staff was very helpful and it felt just like another home for us, right in the middle of the market.
There was no parking facility since it is in the market. If travelling by your vehicle, this might be an issue. If using public transport, the electric rickshaws are available within a few seconds.

Here's a sample good review for Hotel Backpackers Nest: *5/5 Stars* "I had an amazing stay at Hotel Backpackers Nest! The hostel is perfectly located, with easy access to public transportation and all the major attractions. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always willing to lend a hand or offer recommendations. The atmosphere was lively and social, with a great communal area for meeting fellow travelers. My dorm room was clean and comfortable, with sturdy beds and secure lockers. The bathrooms were also spotless and well-maintained. But what really made my stay stand out was the excellent service and attention to detail. From the free breakfast to the organized events and activities, the team at Hotel Backpackers Nest truly went above and beyond. I would highly recommend this hostel to any backpacker or traveler looking for a fun, social, and comfortable place to stay. *Highlights:* - Perfect location - Friendly and helpful staff - Clean and comfortable rooms - Great communal area and social atmosphere - Excellent service and attention to detail *Will I return?* Absolutely!"

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.

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..

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).

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
