Inexpensive rooms are available in this niwas (pilgrims' hostel) at the southeast end of the Golden Temple Complex. Foreigners are generally accommodated in the dorm at Sri Guru Ram Das Niwas, or at rooms in the other buildings in the vicinity. Check in at the nearby Guru Arjan Dev Niwas to see what is available.
Staying here is a fascinating experience but rooms and dorms are basic, with shared bathrooms, and there’s a three-day maximum stay. Each person gets use of a locker in the dorms, but you need your own padlock.
