Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

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.

O hotel e bem localizado, mas não tem uma boa condição de conservação. O chuveiro vazava. Faltou agua um dia. O quarto não era confortavel, faltava locais para acomodar bagagem, pendurar roupas. Os funcionarios eram atenciosos.

sorprendentemente bueno

Llegué bastante temprano pero mi habitación estaba lista y me ofrecieron refrescos gratuitos mientras esperaba. El hotel es notablemente limpio y bien cuidado. Las habitaciones son fieles a sus imágenes (¡que no encuentras a menudo en Delhi!). Espacioso, moderno, cómodo y con hervidor de agua y una buena ducha. El hotel está a poca distancia de la estación de Nueva Delhi.

The foyer is welcoming and reception staff went out of their way to get weary travelers a room early to freshen up. The restaurant was well-run and breakfast generous. Staff seem to be proud to work here. Rooms were clean and comfy

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.

Good Hotel Experience!!

Service at the hotel was good and quick the staff nice and spoke good English. Great location, 5 min walk to Taj Mahal and 15 min walk to Agra Fort. The surrounding was not overly busy or overcrowded, but we found plenty of choices for food and drinks in the area. The only negative was the size of the bathroom, a bit small for the family of 3.
