Brijwasi Lands Inn

Overview

About this property

Brijwasi Lands Inn is a hotel in Mathura, on Masani Link Road, run by the Brijwasi group. Its own site calls it a contemporary place to stay in the land of Krishna, and the hotel's pages back that up with plain facts: rooms and suites, a vegetarian restaurant, a bar and lounge, and large banquet and garden spaces. It is a practical hotel for temple visitors, families and event groups.

The hotel's own rooms page describes two kinds of stay: rooms for business and leisure travellers, and suites for guests who want a more generous stay. The Luxury Rooms have a sitting area with a large table and a marble bathroom, as the hotel's site says. The suites add single or double occupancy space, which suits families who want more room to spread out.

What sets this hotel apart is its food and its event spaces. The restaurant, Aura, is pure vegetarian and multi-cuisine, and the Mahiki Bar & Lounge is a separate evening space. The banquet pages list Pavilion for corporate and wedding events, Manor for social and business functions, Ball Rooms for small gatherings, and Meadows and Flora Gardens for large outdoor events. That range makes it a strong pick for a family wedding in Mathura.

Brijwasi Lands Inn suits pilgrims and families who want a full-service hotel on the edge of town, with parking and gardens, rather than a small hotel in the old-town lanes. It also suits event groups, since the hotel's own banquet page says its meeting and banquet space takes up to 1000 people, with landscaped gardens for up to 5000. If you are in Mathura for a wedding or a family function, this is a natural base.

The hotel also works well for guests who arrive by car. Its own facilities page lists ample car parking, and the hotel sits on Masani Link Road, on the edge of town, rather than in the narrow old-town lanes. That makes arrival and parking simpler, especially for a wedding group with many cars. The hotel's site also lists a doctor on call and laundry and dry cleaning, which are useful on a longer stay.

At a glance

What you get here

Everything above is taken from the hotel's own website. If something is not listed here, it means we could not confirm it from the official site, so we have not written it.

Rooms

Rooms and suites

The hotel's own rooms page keeps it simple. There are rooms for business and leisure travellers, and there are suites for guests who want a larger stay. The rooms are described as classic and comfortable, and the suites as luxurious single or double occupancy rooms. Both kinds of room are meant to be calm places to rest after a day out, not showpiece rooms.

Suite guests get a few extras, as the hotel's site lists them: use of the boardroom, 24-hour room service, a minibar, an LCD television with hi-speed WiFi, a coffee and tea maker, a complimentary newspaper, and two and a half litres of mineral water every day. The Luxury Rooms list a similar set: an LCD television with hi-speed WiFi, 24-hour room service, a coffee and tea maker, a complimentary newspaper, and the same daily water.

The rooms also come with air conditioning, as the hotel's facilities page says, along with WiFi access, an LCD television, a direct dial facility, a minibar and a coffee and tea maker in the room. The facilities page also lists a doctor on call, laundry and dry cleaning, boardrooms, ample car parking and acceptance of major credit cards. Those are the everyday things that make a short stay easy.

Room types and prices change with the season, so the hotel's own website will have the latest list. We do not show prices here because they change often, and we do not want to show you an old price. If you are booking for a wedding group, ask the hotel about rooms near the banquet and garden spaces, since the Meadows section of the site mentions rooms attached to its garden spaces.

If you are booking for a wedding, think about who needs what. The suites suit couples or small families who want more space and boardroom use, while the Luxury Rooms suit guests who mainly need a comfortable bed and a bathroom after a day of functions. Both kinds of room list 24-hour room service and WiFi, so the choice is about space, not about basics. Ask the hotel about rooms near the banquet spaces if your group will move between rooms and halls often.

Food & drink

Where to eat

The hotel's restaurant is Aura, and its own dining page is clear about it: a pure vegetarian multi-cuisine fine dining restaurant with 96 covers, and an elevated landscape view. That view matters in the evening, when the gardens and the town cool down. The page gives meal timings too: breakfast from 7 to 10 in the morning, lunch from 12 to 3 in the afternoon, and dinner from 7 to 11 at night.

The hotel also has Mahiki Bar & Lounge, which its own page describes as a cosy, warm bar with an extensive range of premium drinks and electro jazz music. It stays open from 12 noon to 11 at night. It is a place for a quiet evening with family or friends after a function, and it sits apart from the restaurant, so dinner and drinks do not have to happen in the same room.

Room service runs round the clock, as the hotel's rooms and facilities pages both say, so a late meal in your room is possible after an evening function. Outside the hotel, Mathura's old town has bazaar eateries and sweet shops, and Mathura peda is the sweet to take home. For the latest menu at Aura, the hotel's own website is the right place to check.

One more point from the hotel's own dining page is the timing of dinner at Aura, from 7 to 11 at night, which fits an evening function well. Guests coming back from a late event can still eat at the restaurant, and room service runs round the clock after that. If you plan a large group meal, talk to the hotel in advance, since Aura seats 96 covers and the banquet halls have their own catering arrangements.

Things to do

A day around Janmabhoomi, with gardens to come back to

A good day at Brijwasi Lands Inn starts at the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi temple complex, which is the heart of Mathura's temple life. Reach early for a calmer darshan, before the main crowds build up. The hotel sits on Masani Link Road, on the edge of town, so the drive into the old town is short, and coming back to parking and gardens is easy.

After the morning temples, walk through the old-town bazaars near Dwarkadhish Temple. The lanes are narrow and busy, full of sweet shops, brass goods and prayer items, and a slow walk here is part of the Mathura experience. Buy peda from a known shop, since it travels well and makes a good gift. If you want a quieter stop, the town's smaller temples and the Yamuna ghats are there for a short outing.

In the afternoon, rest at the hotel. The middle of the day is the best time to be indoors, especially in summer, and the hotel's rooms and round-the-clock room service make that easy. If you are here for a wedding, the afternoon is also when the banquet and garden spaces come alive with preparations, and the hotel's staff handle those arrangements.

In the evening, go to Vishram Ghat, Mathura's main ghat on the Yamuna, for the evening atmosphere by the river. Then come back to the hotel for dinner at Aura or a drink at Mahiki. If you have a second day, Vrindavan is close by, with Banke Bihari, ISKCON and Prem Mandir, and the hotel's position on the link road makes that drive simple.

If you are here for a wedding, the gardens deserve an evening walk of their own. The hotel's banquet page describes beautifully landscaped gardens for large gatherings, and the Meadows and Flora Gardens sections describe garden spaces for celebrations. Even if you are not here for a function, an evening walk in the gardens after dinner at Aura is a calm way to end a temple day, before the next morning's early start.

Location

Where it is, and what is near

Mathura is an old city on the Yamuna, known as the birthplace of Krishna. Its heart is the old town around the temples and ghats, with narrow bazaar lanes full of sweet shops, brass goods and prayer items. The hotels on this page are in Mathura town, near the Krishna Janmabhoomi area.

If this is your first time in Mathura, these are the places most people visit: the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi temple complex, at the birthplace of Krishna; Dwarkadhish Temple in the old town; and Vishram Ghat, the main ghat on the Yamuna. A slow walk through the bazaars near the temples is worth it, and Mathura peda is the sweet to take home.

We have not written distances here on purpose. Old-town lanes and festival crowds change travel time a lot, so a fixed number would go out of date fast. Ask your driver or your hotel for the time on the day you travel.

The temples get crowded in the morning and evening, and even more so on festival days. Reach a little early if you want a calm darshan, and keep small belongings close in the crowd.

Getting here

How to reach the hotel

Most guests reach Mathura by road from Delhi or Agra. The drive runs on the highway, and the last part is through the town's busy streets. Cheapcab runs Delhi to Mathura taxis, and the route pages on this site show the fare.

Mathura also has its own big railway station, Mathura Junction, with trains from Delhi and other cities. From the station, a short taxi or auto ride takes you to your hotel near the temples.

Keep your hotel's name and address ready on your phone, and share it with your driver before you start. Old-town lanes can be narrow and confusing, and a phone address saves a lot of back-and-forth at the end of a long journey.

Best time

Best time to visit Mathura

The best time to visit Mathura is from October to March. The weather is cool and pleasant, and you can walk around the temples and bazaars without getting tired. These are also the busiest months, so book your hotel a few weeks ahead.

Janmashtami and Holi turn Mathura and Vrindavan electric, but they also bring the biggest crowds of the year. If you come for a festival, book everything early and keep extra time in hand for temple queues and slow traffic.

April to June brings hot weather. Mornings and evenings are still good for temple visits, but the middle of the day is best spent indoors. Carry water, a hat and light clothes if you come in summer.

July to September brings rain. The town looks green and fresh, but rain can slow down travel, so keep some extra time in hand if you come in the monsoon.

Good to know

Before you book

Cheapcab does not book hotels. You book a hotel on its own official website, using the button on this page. Prices, room types, check-in time and cancellation rules are all on the hotel's site, and they change with the season. Always read them there before you pay.

The photos on this page are from the hotel's official website, and the source link is given under the photo gallery. We do not use photos from booking sites or stock photo sites for hotels.

If you need a taxi to reach the hotel, or to go from Delhi to Mathura, you can book it from Cheapcab. The taxi fare and the hotel stay are separate. Your taxi driver will not charge you for the hotel, and the hotel will not charge you for the taxi.

One last practical tip for Mathura: this is a religious zone, and alcohol is not sold locally, so plan around it before you reach. The food near the temples is simple satvik food, tasty but with no onion or garlic. Footwear comes off at temples, so wear shoes that are easy to slip on and off. And buy peda from a known shop in the bazaar — it travels well and makes a good gift.
