We stayed in this hotel for one night and was glad it wasnโ€™t more. The rooms on first inspection arenโ€™t exactly what you expect. Itโ€™s probably what the hotel looked like A decade or 2 ago. But itโ€™s acceptable for the price. The main concern was the burn marks around the plugs and luckily our electronics were fully charged. In first inspection the room room looked clean enough, but when we got a little more settled I started noticing bits which werenโ€™t right, stains on one of our towels, a slight tea stain look on the bed and a mirror which hadnโ€™t been cleaned for some time. The stay was made worse by the extremely noisy family next door. However the staff were brilliant when I went down at 11pm to ask the room next door if they could be a little quieter. They rang straight away and apologised to me for the noise and being unable to sleep. Other than that the room was lovely and quiet and we couldnโ€™t hear any of the traffic noise outside! It was a massive positive to the room.

The property is very near to Taj Mahal, 8-10 min walk only. Though the room was big, the electrical equipments and sockets were faulty or not functional. The bathroom was not clean and the faucets were old and dirty. For the price Expedia charged, the overall experience was very poor. Our driver told us that there are better hotels nearby Taj about half the price we paid. We feel like we got ripped off.

Dรฉcevant. On avait rรฉservรฉ trois chambres pour une nuit pour quatre adultes et trois enfants. On arrive tard le soir. Lโ€™eau de la douche nโ€™รฉtait pas trรจs chaude. Le lendemain quand on arrive pour le petit dรฉjeuner, il nโ€™y avait strictement rien de prรฉvu. On a du attendre une demi-heure pour รชtre servi le stricte minimum. Une tasse de thรฉ remplie ร  moitiรฉ, impossible dโ€™en avoir encore. Ils oublient la commande dโ€™un chocolat chaud, et nous disent quโ€™il faut 20 minutes pour en faire un, alors quโ€™on a dรฉjร  pris du retard ร  cause dโ€™eux. On avait pourtant payรฉ le double du tarif habituel ร  cause de la fin dโ€™annรฉe. Hรดtel certes ร  proximitรฉ du Taj Mahal, mais ร  รฉviter si possible.

It Says Breakfast Included. There was two option only Alu Paratha and Pasta. Outside Foods are not allowed. Resturant does not accepts the Card Transaction its only Cash. Very Bad bedsheets and cover. TV was operating but no channels to view. I would suggest not to recommend this hotel in future.

Good hotel within walking distance of the Taj Mahal. Near souvenir shops and cafes. Friendly staff. Interesting room design. But the room is not very soundproofed. Also the floor is not clean. The ventilation system does not work well in the bath. But overall a good hotel and great location.

I booked a deluxe double room with view for 3 nights six months in advance. I arrived at 10pm after a 6 hour train trip. I was given a room with double bed and an absolutely disgusting bathroom and no view. The bathroom sink couldn't be turned off and water just flowed all night. Elsewhere water dripped all night. Bathroom floor wet all night. It was a ground floor room and down hall people talking loudly and banging all night in foyer area. Next morning I demanded a new room and staff happily provided room on 1st floor with window onto side street. This room was quite suitable for the price except mattress was so hard sleep was very difficult. If given this room first night I would have made no complaint and happy with this hotel. No explanation or apology given by hotel. Location was good, a/c good, WiFi good, safe area, walking distance to Taj Mahal. Restaurant was okay but very slow service even when no other customers. On 1st floor room shower wets whole bathroom floor and it stays wet. Sheets were yellow and stained but probably cleaned and just very old. Not sure of better offerings in accommodation in Agra. But if choose this hotel avoid ground floor room.

It was ok. Great for the Taj Mahal but not really anything else. Customer service left a lot to be desired and booking a trip with them is not recommended

Overall an OK stay for one night to see the Taj Mahal and nearby attractions. Bed was comfortable but room and bathroom extremely muggy and stuffy. They didnโ€™t have a record of our reservation when we arrived even though it was booked and prepaid, but still got the room we expected. The restaurant was pretty expensive compared to everywhere else weโ€™ve eaten in india and the food was just ok. Also donโ€™t book busses onward through the hotel.. they charge double what you will pay online or at travel counters and you still have to get yourself to the bus station. Same for private transfers... go with Uber or Ola cabs instead.
