WelcomHeritage Ranjit's SVAASA, Amritsar

Advantages: Great location, fair price
Disadvantages: Surly service with too much attitude

...managed to find a hotel where we were able to dither away many of the hours and surprisingly, once we'd accepted that we were there for the duration we adapted to the forced slow-down and just spent a very lazy time. Why the Heritage Inn? It's not that easy to get good advice on finding a hotel in Amritsar. There are few of the international hotel chains, most booking sites cover only the more expensive places and even then, not in any great detail. Alternatively you could stay almost for free in the Temple's own accommodation - I think Michael Palin did that but it's a bit different when you have a camera crew in tow. I found the Heritage Inn thanks to a fellow member of the trivago travel website who added the hotel to the site's database. In my role as an 'approver' for hotels on trivago, I read up on all the hotel details and so... Read review

...well it can be described nearly a heaven on the earth very similar place to tibet ....there is not any trouble in writing it as the land of Gods..one of the unique sites with serene beauty u will not more often be able to see any trees but this place contains most of the precious gems found in the soil of india..they jouney is an unforgettable experience if taken at the right time with the right people..some of the famous festivals are greatly influenced by the tibetian culture.but be sure not take any action without the prior permission to ur guide.and experience the difference .to visit the nearest international airport is at amritsar or you can reach by bus or train,with some journey to be taken on heavy motor vehicle in order to reach remote areas. well this place is full of glorious things like the budhist monestries...

...I have flown from Birmingham many times and have connected here also. The first time i flew into Birmingham was from a flight abck from Australia that wqas diverted from Singapore (connection) to Birmingham where were then flown to Heathrow. The airport is nice and spacious although i think they should have more information decks dotted around the terminal. Also, i am aware at one point, Birmingham was home to several major airlines including Quantas, Air Canada, Air India who all now seem to fly from Heathrow. Thirdly, BHX has lost a lot of potential to Manchester Airport who offer more INternational Flights. Birmingham would be a better airport if they had more direct flights to more INternational destinations. I am happy with Dubai, but what about AMritsar, Honk Kong and places like these which are only accessiable from... Read review
