Shree Krishna Bhakti Ashram

The place has a 70-tish vibe, tasteful and sober. The rooms are large but rather basic. There's a corridor where you can relax. Netflix on TV. The owner is a lovely lady who wants her guests to enjoy their stay. No breakfast, but nearby Murliwala provides safe and tasteful meals.

The location was everything we hoped for. Vrindavan is very intense, full of pelgrims and Hare Krishna devotees. It is a city of wonder but also of intense impressions. And beware of the monkeys: they steal glasses (as happened to me) and mobiles to trade them for bananas!

Peaceful place, impeccable rooms, amicable and supportive staff, walking distance from many temples. A great option to stay in Vrindavan

We liked the place

I love staying at Sri Krishna Bhakta Ashram. It feels like home. The staff are super helpful and friendly. I like the peacefulness and open space with trees. The location is excellent for visiting the various mandirs and holy places.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Shree Krishna Bhakti Ashram (12 to 17 February 2024). They have some of the most excellent employees working at the Ashram. I wanted to particularly talk about a few that I interacted with while there. Mr Milan Bhattacharjee was very courteous and helpful right from the moment I reached there. He was also kind enough to extend my stay by one extra day. Mr Tejprakash was also very helpful and went out of his way to help me plan out my visits to the various temples in Vrindavan. He gave me a printed sheet with the names of the temples he thought I shouldn't miss. He offered to arrange for a cab or rickshaw for me. Mr Mahesh was very helpful and kept me regularly stocked with water and biscuits. He also took good care of my laundry, always making sure I got clothes back on time. The security personnel were always very kind and helpful. They always protected me from the resident monkeys. Mr Goenka's own kindly little messages made me feel very welcome right from the time I made the booking. Radhe Radhe!

There is a beautiful courtyard, but alas, it is overrun by a large pack of menacing monkeys. As a result of their presence, I wasn't able to explore the Ashram any further than my own room and (locked) verandah, and I was scared even to bring fruits with me. I would also have liked to attend Aarati or visit the Goshala, for example. If possible, please do something about this asap. The property is within walkable distance of Banke Bihari Temple, so there are traffic restrictions. When you come by cab, for example, you will not be allowed to come right up to the gate of the property. Only local cabs are allowed into this road. I had to hire a rickshaw (Rs 50) when I first arrived. If you're carrying big bags, this can be an annoying and off putting welcome! There is no restaurant within the premises, though there are decent ones nearby. I found myself most often going to the nearby Hare Krishna eatery Govinda, where the food is excellent.

I was unfortunately only here for one night but will most definitely be returning for a longer stay as it has amazing facilities and is located in a prime spot to get the most out of the experience of Vrindāvan. Highly recommend for those on a spiritual trip.

Great location just off the main street. Very peaceful at night and comfy beds. Very clean good sized room with kettle and tea/coffee, toiletries etc. 2 big bottles of water provided every day. The terrace outside was nice and monkey safe. The owner was very friendly and helpful with suggestions on places to see. The wifi didn't work the first day as the monkeys had chewed the cables but was very fast once fixed.

Nothing

Good location / very cooperative staff ( Tej Prakash)

very nice vibes, clean and close to ISCKON

Lovely oasis of calm - attractive ashram setting with just a few rooms looking into a lawn. Great location halfway between the ISKON and the old city temples. Nice clean plain rooms, great choice,

Wish they had a restaurant service - for breakfast especially

+ location was top, right in the middle of everything + the Ashram is beautiful maintained, with everything that you need (different soaps provided, complementary water/coffee/tea/cookies) + unlimited hot water at any time + perfectly working ac + it was one of the most cleanest accommodation we've stayed in during our journey through india + the rooms are huge and there are three of them + the inner court was very peaceful and you have some chairs with a table, right in front of your door to have a view into the patio (many animals are located there, playing over the lawn, even monkeys are around, but they are very peaceful as vell) + the staff is very friendly and helpful. We had contact to three very nice man from the Ashram. One of them gave us a short overview about what's around and told us a little about the history. One of them asked us every day if our room has to be cleaned and if everything is all right, and Tej prakash ordered a taxi for us, so we had an easy departure. We would absolutely recommend staying at this little oasis. :D

Nothing to complain about.
