Mr. Bisht, the hotel manager, helped us through our travel problems some small, some requiring expert advice with his full attention. His staff was always there for us. The best central location. Thank you Hotel Ambica Katra!

We did not get hot water and we had to repeatedly inform to get the issue fixed every time we had a requirement. The bathrooms requires better maintenance.

• Jatin (9/5): Perfect Family stay with Kids and Seniors. 5 Stars for location, service and amenities. - Perfect Family stay with Kids and Seniors. Property provides all necessary amenities, courteous staff, 24/7 room service , perfect location close to market, Railway station, bus stop,and Yatra start point. Though public transport is mostly auto and riskshaws which are easily available outside the hotel, the hotel provides a pick and drop van facility which makes it convenient for senior citizens. Inside the hotel there is a big lawn at the back side, a huge lobby and sitting areas, and the restaurant where the food was served was amazing. This was our second stay. at this hotel.while visiting Katra for Vaishnodevi Mata Darshan. Highly recommended hotel for staying with family and friends.

• Kajol (10/5): Memorable and Homely - The Staff at Cardinal Ambica is the USP of the hotel! By staff I mean the Restaurant staff, would especially like to thank "Mr Ashok Sharma" the head chef of the restaurant at the hotel , he literally serves you as if we are at his home, the food is served with lots of love and the taste is exceptional! We had great conversations with Mr Ashok Ji :) The location of the hotel is very prime, located in the center of the town, it's a 5min drive to the VaishnoDevi temple. The hotel was so kind, they provided us a pick-up & drop to the Helipad center. Extremely happy with choice of our Hotel. Rooms were exactly as shown in the pictures, good value of money, very spacious as well! Thankyou Cardinal Ambica for a memorable and pleasant stay. Wifi, Bathroom Settings
