worse experience, Hotel booked through Expedia
First of all you are misleading about the hotel quality. The Hotel condition is horrible. Ice comes out of the Air conditioner. Not a single piece of furniture available in the room except the bed; no wardrobe, No chair. Even they are not providing drinking water in the room. R.O water is given after several reminder. Hotel stuffs are useless. They don't know how to talk to the guest. I had the worse experience staying in this hotel. I am curious how the Expedia is recommending this hotel. Totally cheating. I advise all not to book this hotel at any cost. I also request Expedia to visit the hotel to check the minimum facilities available with the hotel before shortlisting it on the website.

Fine place to stay
Room we stayed in looked nice and fresh. However, there were some stains on the quilt cover. But we called the housekeeping staff and they changed it quickly. The receptionist seemed very happy to help us, spoke very politely and was friendly. Other than that, the location was good, close to the Taj Mahal.

View of Taj Mahal from the Hotel Rooftop
Room condition 5/10. Location 10/10. If you are a backpacker, the Taj Mahal booking office is just 100m away. After that there is a shuttle bus that takes you to the East Gate. This guesthouse is quite old and needs a makeover, but everyone who goes to Agra will not stay in the room. The only time they get back into the room is to sleep. The Taj Mahal view from the rooftop is nice.

Perfect location and good price
Perfect location, very central and gives good walking access to many popular destinations such as the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and so on. Check in was quick and the room was comfortable with very nice beds. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly, they could not do enough for us. This is one of the best hotels in Agra at this price. I would stay here again, due to its location and quality for the price.

An excellent stay
Excellent for visiting all the attractions of the city of Agra and is located near the taj mahal. The room was very spacious and very quiet. Air conditioning and shower worked perfectly and WIFI works very well even on the upper floors. The hotel staff was very friendly, and also booked a taxi for us at a very cheap price.

Not a nice stay
The hotel was not very clean, the bedding was dirty & when we asked for a replacement the replacement was still dirty. The staff was not very helpful. The bathrooms were filthy & the taps were old and not working. Even though it's a cheap hotel they could do a basic clean to make the stay better!

Sigh. The staff
It's conveniently located next to the East gate ticket office. Price is good. I kept hearing a grinding noise from construction next door which might explain my cheap room rate. They were nice enough to allow me.to keep my bags there for the day. Biggest problem is the staff. Friendly but their unconcerned lack of urgency absolutely ruins this place. Checking in was the most painful experience. I would answer their questions and they would ask again after I answered them.because they were too busy socializing with the other 3 staff members gawking around reception. I asked for the wifi to be fixed and was jist told to, "come down to the lobby." Finally, after 2 hours in the lobby on wifi I asked again for them to actually FIX the wifi. Which they did, 1 hour later. So 5 hours total to fix wifi that they could have fixed upon my original request in 20 minutes.
