Hotel Mercury Inn by Sonachi

The coffee and tea were excellent, and Golden Temple is nearby. The room was cozy and spotless, and the staff were really friendly and helpful. A wonderful place to explore from. I’d heartily suggest it for a fun, restful vacation.

We could see the golden temple from our room window, which was amazing for us. I stayed with my family and we had an awesome stay. The hotel staff were very cooperative and caring.

The room phone didn’t work, so even small requests meant walking to reception, and drinking water cost extra. Construction debris covered the balconies while the property was under renovation, leaving them unusable and unsafe. Although the hotel advertises being close to the Golden Temple, taxis and other four-wheelers struggle with the narrow roads. Our first room was too small for a family, and we paid an extra 2000 rupees to upgrade. The facilities were subpar, and I would not recommend staying here.

Golden Temple’s entrance is the one clear plus, only about a five-minute walk away. I booked four nights through the MakeMyTrip app but checked out the next day because the room was inconvenient and its lock was hard to open or close. The food arrived late and cold, and hygiene wasn’t up to standard. I checked out without arguing with the receptionist, but they refused a refund, saying we had left and had a dispute with them. A very bad stay.
