Hotel CJ International

firstly this was my first booking thru Agoda, I was told total of inr8000 for my booking (2 room, for 2nights) ,was billed in USD and total inr8800. coming to hotel..what can I say it's horrible,old crumbling infra at overpriced rates. only positive is proximity to Golden temple... please don't expect a repeat customer with these facilities and room quality...thanks.. rest I will take up my overcharging with Agoda separately.

Location the best. 1 min walk to the Golden Temple

We have to be very careful while booking this hotel on line. I clicked on 2 single bed room with breakfast andwas given a double bed with no breakfast. I also requested pick up from airport. No one was there for the pick up.

I think the location is the best of all hotels in Amritsar for the people to visit Golden temple. It is locate only a few minutes to the main gate and Golden temple can be seen from the roof top. I could go to the temple as soon as I wanted to go. There are many shops near the main gate and I could enjoy shopping,too. The room of a modern design is very clean and well equipted. I will stay at this hotel again when I have a chance to visit Amritsar.

We booked two standard executive rooms but luckily got upgraded to "Super Deluxe Rooms" which were better than the standard rooms. Rooms are not very modern but still spacious and comfortable. It lacks some basic amenities like bathtub, hair dryer but still it's a good deal for the price we paid. Location of this hotel is perfect if you're in Amritsar to visit Golden Temple/Harmindar Sahab. All the staff was pretty helpful, especially the Sikh guy at the reception. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a short stay.

Very bad disgusting hotel Incompetent staff

The hotel was ok. Sumeet confirmed pick up but never turned up at the airport. My old mom and mom in law ended up waiting for an hour hoping the pick up will turn up and didn't know what to do or where to get a cab as the people outside of the airport were another bunch of idiots sent them back inside upon purchasing tickets and they still couldn't get a transport. They ended up walking out with big bags and took an auto. They arrived hotel which is less than 10km's after more than 3 hours and were exhausted. I sent a reminder email for pick up that same morning and he didn't reply. Sumeet is a lousy and hopeless guy. So if you book this hotel make sure you arrange your own transport. If you are fit to walk about 10 mins i would suggest City Park Hotel it is much better and excellent staffs. We stayed there in March but could not book it for our mom's as they can't walk much.

Members of our group had to change rooms as room not satisfactory, water heater not working, TV not working and poor Wifi facilities.

Breakfast quality is poor

Smalll room size

not worth for the money you pay. room are dirty, no hot water. out side very dusty.

Clean, friendly staff, right near the golden temple

We were there only for a short time as we arrived in the morning and left by noon to connect with next flight . But it was nice in a colonial structure and ambience . I would say it was value for the money .

location great

This budget hotel is just next to the golden temple with very basic facilities – small room but comfortable bed. A bottle of mineral water and toiletries were supplied. Staff were pleasing and helped in arranging transportation and providing information when required. We reached around 11:00 am but had to wait for around 1 hour to get the room ready. Did not get a sound sleep due to the rickshaws, cars and howling dogs. I think there is no restaurant in the hotel and when we order they arrange and bring from outside. From airport we took prepaid taxi for INR 600/- but they drop only till golden temple parking. From there you need to take rickshaw. We took a battery operated rickshaw to the hotel since the road is very narrow and above that crowded. It cost only INR 100/-. But was very difficult with two small kids and luggage. For pilgrims who want to visit temple often it better to stay here and for others some hotel in the outskirts will be a better option.

My stay in CJ HOtel was very good. It would have been excellent if our TV could be used. I would suggest the hotel to look into this issue. It might be smaill but it means a lot to visitors.

My stay at Hotel CJ International was pleasant. The check -in/out was fast and transport arrangements were very good. For instance, when I reached the hotel at about 4pm, they quickly arranged for transport to witness the much talk about parade between India and Pakistan. The rooms were ok, probably need some upgrading especially the toilet. The location to the golden temple was the best aspect of the hotel. For those who wish to visit the temple at night and early morning, this would be the appropriate choice for you. Just a few steps away, you will be in the golden temple compound. For some local shopping, it's a few mins walk and for food, a short auto ride will bring you to a few shops. On my last day, just before going to the domestic airport, I arranged with the driver to drop me off at one of shoe shop. This is referring to the tradional Indian shoes where it's famous in Amritsar. The shop has many varieties and was cheaper compared to the big cities like Mumbai or New Delhi. The only thing I wasn't too happy about was when the manger charged me an additional fee as my train was delayed for almost 2 hours as the driver was waiting for me at the train station. During the delay, I did email the hotel to inform them that I will be late. But then it was a small amount so I didn't make a big fuss out of it. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.
