**A Wonderful Stay Near the Golden Temple – Highly Recommended!**
We stayed at **Hotel Golden Stay** for three nights during our trip to Amritsar, and it turned out to be one of the best budget stays we’ve had! The location is fantastic — it’s just about an **8–10 minute walk to the Golden Temple**, and the **clothes market** is barely **200 meters away**. You’ll also find **Kesar da Dhaba** and **Bharawan da Dhaba** close by, which makes it super convenient for food lovers.
From the moment we arrived, we were **welcomed very warmly**. The receptionist was **extremely polite and helpful**, making us feel comfortable right away. We were even offered a **free upgrade**, which was very kind of them, but we decided to stick with the **room we had booked with a city view**.
The **room was spotless**, everything looked well arranged, and the amenities were thoughtfully provided — **kettle, tea bags, coffee sachets, and water bottles**, all complimentary. The **bathroom was big and clean**, with a **separate glass-partitioned shower area**, which was a pleasant surprise for a hotel in this price range.
If you’re looking for a **clean, comfortable, and affordable** stay near the Golden Temple, this hotel checks all the boxes. The only minor challenge is reaching it during the day, as the lanes nearby can get quite busy. I’d recommend hiring an **e-rickshaw** for about **₹80–₹100**, which makes the ride smooth and hassle-free.
Overall, **Hotel Golden Stay** offers great value for money with its friendly staff, neat rooms, and perfect location. We had a truly pleasant experience and would **definitely stay here again** on our next visit to Amritsar.
