Nutz Backpackers

Nutz Backpackers has enough older upside to explain why someone might try it: budget Amritsar stay, helpful staff/owner, laundry, families allowed, and a location that can work for the Golden Temple if you are okay walking around 15 minutes. Treat the positive side cautiously, because there are not many recent details and the newest stay is bad. A 2026 stay describes unanswered calls, booking confusion, a dirty room, hair on blankets, and locked doors; an earlier stay also described being padlocked inside in the morning. That pushes this from "rough but cheap" into "confirm everything before you go." If you stay here, treat it as a basic budget bed rather than a social hostel. Bring patience, confirm check-in and exit access directly, and do not expect soft beds, strong atmosphere, or polished facilities.
