This place comes comes with a big reputation and didn't quite hit the mark for us. The rooms are large but letdown by noisy aircon and bed bugs. The bathroom has nice tiles but a rundown bath and shower. The compound is reasonably quiet but you still hear the ubiquitous honking from the street. There is a pool which is... More

Great location, 10 min's from the railway station. Staff is friendly and helps you in any possible manner. Well maintained and clean rooms and bathrooms. You feel so relaxed here, close to the nature, with it's fantastic gardens and open space. Ultimate destination for relaxation. 2 nights a must. Early check-in etc is not a problem. More

My husband and I spent two nights in January 2012 at this guesthouse. As it is on the outskirts of Amritsar, it was very quiet, being just far enough away from the constant honking of the downtown. It has a rural serene feel with a few buffalo grazing at a trough in the spacious compound and a large grassy enclosed... More

By the time we got to this guest house, we were suffering Delhi Belly so I was probably not as tolerant as usual! This property had the important things - clean sheets, comfortable bed, hot water (when you figured how how to use it!). Staff were helpful, would bring tea or coffee when we got back in and arranged an... More

In all my travels throughout India, I cannot think of a single place that has ticked all my boxes as Mrs Bhandari's has done. I've always preferred intimate, cosy guesthouses over soulless hotels, but in India, smaller generally equates to shabby, dirty and terrible service. Mrs Bhandari's Guesthouse is none of those: it is wonderfully maintained but in a manner... More

Located very close to the railway station (if arriving by train, they provide a complimentary pick-up) and not too far from the city. The rooms are excellent - we were there in the winters and were impressed by how the staff made sure that when we got back from dinner our heaters were on and there were hot water bottles... More

We arrived in Amritsar mid afternoon, greeted at the train station by a driver arranged by Mrs. Bhandari's. On arrival at the homestay, we went through all the formalities of signing in and were then invited to the front garden for afternoon tea. what a tranquil setting, the lovely walled gardens were well tended.. Our room was something else, a... More

This B and B deserves a better rating average. We had a delightful time. It was cold so they turned heaters on and put hot water bottles in our beds while we were gone! The grounds are immaculate--especially by Indian standards. Spend some time walking around the garden! Our rooms were rustic but clean. The beds were very firm but... More

The history of Mrs Bhandari’s Guesthouse is interesting. Located in the cantonment area, it was started by Mrs Tahmi Bhandari in 1954. She died in 2007 at the age of 101. Born into a wealthy family, she was a teenager at the time of the 1919 Amritsar Massacre. It is thought that she was the first Indian woman to ever... More

I spent three nights here in October 2011, and virtually have nothing negative to report. The room was very comfortable and sparkling clean, with a good bed, hot water 24/7, cozy furnishing.. The style is slightly colonial and "vintage". The place is situated a little out of the main bustle of the city, but you can easily get a rickshaw... More
