Things you cannot miss while booking a Hotel in Amritsar

People who have a knack for traveling must be aware of the crucial role a good hotel plays in making or breaking the vibe of a vacation. Finding a good hotel that is well within your budget, offers a variety of amenities, is at a reasonable distance from the well-known city attractions, and does not overcharge is a feat not everyone gets to experience. 

So, to help you reach as close as possible to picking the right hotel for your next trip to Amritsar, here are some must-not-forget points that you need to remember while looking for a hotel in Amritsar! 

Family-friendliness

Everyone must follow the safety protocols to stay safe in the hotels. If you are on a family vacation in Amritsar, choosing the right hotel becomes all the more important! Having a family with you means you need to be extra vigilant regarding their safety. So, the first and foremost thing you should judge a hotel by is its family-friendliness.

Check-in and check-out timings

Another crucial detail one should pay attention to is the Check-in and check-out timing. Arriving at the hotel before the check-in time, or overstaying your check-out time can cause a lot of inconveniences. Therefore, if you’re reaching the city way ahead of your check-in time or have a late flight that may require you to overstay the check-out time, it’s best to book with a hotel that allows some flexibility in this department. Marriott hotels are one such group that allows their guests to check in early or check out late in case any such issue arises. So, it’s best to check with the hotel you’re booking beforehand regarding their check-in/check-out policy. 

Amenities they offer

Many of us often are under the wrong impression that all the hotels offer the same basic facilities and for the same charges. The simple answer to this misunderstanding is a No! Each hotel has its policies and amenities they offer. One such example is housekeeping. While some hotels in India offer free housekeeping service, others may charge additional charges for the same. 

The same goes for extra beddings, breakfast, free wifi, television facility, and many other such amenities. Therefore, it is best to have a rough idea about the things you strictly want your preferred hotel to offer, before picking a hotel in Amritsar. Also, if you’re looking for a more luxury stay then you can opt for hotels that offer luxury amenities including spas, swimming pools, etc. 

Hotel’s Location

Amritsar is a beautiful city with a rich heritage. If you’re planning on having a fun time exploring the city, we suggest booking a hotel near top tourist attractions to avoid spending too much on cabs/autos. However, this may not be as simple as it seems. There are plenty of cheap hotels in Amritsar that claim to be at a ‘walkable distance from the major tourist spots, but in reality, have kilometers stretching between them. So, it is especially important to do a proper research before putting your money and faith into a hotel.

 It’s best to do a thorough check of the locality the hotel is situated in not just for distance estimation but also to ensure it is in a safe locality and not some shady place you might regret going to later! 

Free WiFi

This one might not bother all of you, but for our fellow business travelers, this might just be the make-or-break point about the hotel. While most of the hotels claim to provide free wifi in this, many end up charging extra money for the supposed ‘free Wi-Fi’. There have also been instances where either the number of devices has been restricted, or the wifi is only available in the lobby. Though it feels like a minor inconvenience, it’s always better to be prepared beforehand! 

Customer Reviews

The importance of customer reviews cannot be emphasized enough. Be it online shopping or booking a hotel in Amritsar, customer reviews are something that one must always go through before putting your money on the table. 

Reviews serve a variety of purposes and must not be underestimated. They give the brands and their boastful descriptions the necessary check and give you a fair idea of what to expect. One should be able to read the pattern among the reviews. What feature is being commended, loopand what is the hotel lacking? What are the false claims, and what are the departments, the hotel outperformed its competitors in? They also give valuable information regarding certain services that have been closed permanently or temporarily. 

Reviews are real experiences coming from real people. They provide you with the perfect opportunity to learn from others’ experiences. One must never skip this section and thoroughly go through customer reviews rather than blindly trusting a hotel based on their rating. 

Cleanliness

Last but not least are the cleanliness standards maintained by the hotel. Usually, hotels are very particular about cleanliness and do a good job at maintaining basic hygiene standards. However, some hotels always leave room for a surprise, and not the pleasant kind! A mold here and there or sheets that have not been changed are common occurrences. Such instances can turn a pleasant trip into a horrific experience for most of us. So, it’s best to pick a hotel that takes cleanliness very seriously! 

Conclusion

Our list ends here, but yours doesn’t have to! You are free to add in more stuff that you think must be borne in mind before booking a hotel. The objective is to allow people to have as pleasant an experience as possible; so that they can have a vacation that only brings back happy memories. With all these points ticked off, you can rest assured that your hotel will be the last of your worries.
