I have had the opportunity to visit several properties throughout North America, however very few have come close to the level of service and quality that The Ista delivered throughout my stay.  I was thoroughly impressed on all levels, and the staff was most accommodating.

Martand Singh Chairman ( INTACH UK Trust)

"The Ista Amritsar is an extraordinary hotel. There is an expression 'God is in the detail', and in the Ista, this is apparent everywhere. From the art objects in the lobby, to the five petrified wood columns on the way to the dining room, to the Plaster of Paris sculptures in our room. This sense of care extends itself to the smiling and courteous staff who listened to our requests in detail, and everything was done quietly, efficiently and without any fuss. And in the restaurant, the sense of courtesy was extraordinary, as waiters knelt down to suggest what we could order, with genuine concern.

I loved it, and would have happily spent another week there. Thank You

And I adored Amritsar. It is a gourmet's delight, has even greater heritage and a sense of sacredness evevelops everything. Above all, it is the warmth and courtesy of the people that is really invigorating and happy making. Thank you for making all of this happen"
