A friend recommended this homestay, and I’m so glad she did—this experience truly stood out among all my travels in India. The family behind Zigzag Homestay goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. From the moment I arrived after a long bus ride from Delhi, I was greeted with warm smiles and a steaming cup of chai. John’s sister prepared a delicious homemade dinner, and we spent hours chatting late into the night with two lovely travelers from Belgium. The next morning, the driver picked me up early for sunrise at the Taj Mahal, where John joined me as a knowledgeable and passionate guide. We enjoyed breakfast at a scenic café, then explored Agra Fort and the Baby Taj—both absolutely worth the visit. Lunch was shared before the driver took me back to the bus stop for my next journey. This wasn’t just a place to stay—it felt like coming home. It’s one of my most cherished travel memories, and I can’t wait to return.

I can't recommend Max Guest House enough to anyone looking for more than just a place to stay in Agra. From the moment we arrived, Max, the owner, welcomed us with genuine warmth and hospitality. He's truly one of a kind—kind-hearted, attentive, always smiling, and eager to help. It's clear he doesn't just want to host guests; he genuinely wants you to feel at home and make your journey memorable. The rooms are spotless, comfortable, well-equipped, and quiet—perfect for unwinding after a long day of exploring. The bedding is excellent, the air conditioning works perfectly, and every detail reflects thoughtfulness for guest comfort. What truly sets this place apart is the family-like atmosphere. Max goes above and beyond, sharing insider tips on how to experience Agra authentically and peacefully. His homemade meals are delicious, comforting, and absolutely perfect after a full day of sightseeing. Another standout feature? He offers trusted local drivers for your trips. We used one to travel to Jaipur, and everything went smoothly—clean car, punctual and courteous driver, safe and stress-free. Overall, Max Guest House delivers an unforgettable, human-centered experience. If you're looking for a welcoming, clean, safe, and heartfelt stay with a host who pours his heart into every detail, this is a must-visit. Thank you, Max, for your kindness, professionalism, and incredible hospitality—we’ll definitely be back.

Staying at Bansi Home Stay for just one night turned out to be an unforgettable experience. The hosts were incredibly warm and attentive—they gave us perfect timing tips for visiting the Taj Mahal and even had breakfast ready when we returned. The home was cozy, clean, and felt like a real second home. Its central location made exploring Agra effortless, and the personal touch from the owners made all the difference. Truly exceptional hospitality and value. I’d happily come back and highly recommend this gem to any traveler visiting Agra.

This hostel is absolutely incredible! The rooftop café offers breathtaking views of the Taj Mahal, and watching the sunset paint the iconic monument in golden hues was an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere is peaceful, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the location makes exploring Agra incredibly convenient—just a short walk or quick ride to major attractions. I’ve stayed at many hostels around the world, but this one stands out for its unique charm, comfort, and value. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting Agra!

I actually think this place deserves a 3.5-star rating. On the bright side, it’s exceptionally clean and located in a peaceful residential area, just a short walk from both the Agra Fort and the Taj Mahal—perfect for exploring the city’s highlights. The young staff were genuinely eager to please, which was nice to see, but they’re still learning the ropes when it comes to hospitality. For example, the wardrobe had only one hanger, and there’s no kettle—something that would’ve been helpful since there aren’t any shops nearby. My room rate included breakfast, and there was a menu in the room, so I was really looking forward to trying an authentic Indian option. But the next morning, I wasn’t given any choice—I was just handed a basic omelette and toast, so I didn’t even bother going back. It’s clear they’re on the right track, but a little more attention to guest needs—like offering variety at breakfast or including small conveniences like a kettle—would make a big difference. With a few tweaks, this could easily become a solid 4-star experience. Overall, it’s a good value stay with great potential.

We didn’t stay overnight, but had dinner at the restaurant located on a beautifully maintained rooftop with an incredible view of the Taj Mahal. The ambiance was exceptional—serene, well-designed, and truly special. The food was delicious and surprisingly affordable for the quality, standing out even among other restaurants in Agra. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout the evening. It’s easily one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in the city. If you’re visiting Agra, whether just for a meal or planning to stay, this place is definitely worth a visit—great value, great views, and a memorable atmosphere.

I couldn’t be happier with my stay at Hotel Mansarover Muskan! From the moment we arrived, the warm welcome set the tone for an unforgettable experience. The room was spacious and beautifully appointed—so much room to move around in, which made the stay feel luxurious and comfortable. The food was absolutely fantastic—rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. A special thank you to Chef Amit K Sharma and the entire team at Sarover Portico for making our trip so memorable with their delicious meals and exceptional service. Every detail felt thoughtfully considered, and the overall experience was outstanding. This hotel truly delivers on comfort, hospitality, and quality. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Agra—it’s a perfect blend of charm, convenience, and value.

Staying at Hotel Shyam Palace in Agra was an excellent choice, especially due to its unbeatable location—just a short walk from the Taj Mahal entrance. The convenience of being so close to one of the world’s most iconic landmarks made exploring the site effortless and saved us a lot of travel time. The room itself was clean and comfortable, though some facilities felt a bit dated, which is expected for a property with history. Dining in the garden area was unique—the view of playful monkeys added charm and authenticity to the experience. However, service was painfully slow. It took nearly an hour and a half to finish our meal, with long gaps between courses—up to 15 minutes at times. That said, the front desk staff stood out as incredibly friendly and helpful, making up for the restaurant delays. Overall, despite the slow dining service, the hotel’s prime location and warm hospitality make it a strong recommendation for travelers who value proximity to the Taj Mahal and a genuine local feel.

Staying at Hotel Basera in Agra was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. The moment I stepped into the hotel, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a clean, well-maintained environment that instantly put me at ease. The room was spotless, spacious, and beautifully decorated with a perfect blend of modern comfort and traditional Indian charm. Every detail, from the plush bedding to the thoughtful amenities, made me feel truly valued as a guest. The staff went above and beyond—always smiling, attentive, and ready to assist with anything I needed. Dining here was a highlight; the food was delicious, diverse, and authentically Indian, offering a true taste of local flavors. Whether it was breakfast with a view or a quiet evening meal, each moment felt special. The location is also excellent—close to major attractions like the Taj Mahal and easy to access via public transport. Overall, this was more than just a stay—it was a memorable journey. I couldn’t recommend it enough and will definitely be back.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Mohini Home Stay with Sanjay and Harsha. The hosts were incredibly kind and always ready to help—whether it was giving local tips, arranging transportation, or just chatting about the city. The location is perfect: just a short walk from Agra Fort and close to all major attractions. The rooms are clean, cozy, and well-maintained, making it feel like home. It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality and comfort in a guesthouse. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Agra. Definitely a top choice for a memorable and stress-free trip.

I wasn’t feeling well during my trip, but the team at Ray of Maya Hotel went above and beyond to support me—staff were incredibly kind, responsive, and even the owner personally checked in. It made a huge difference when I was under the weather. The hotel’s location is perfect—just a short walk to the Taj Mahal, so no need to worry about transportation. The on-site restaurant serves delicious food that’s both authentic and satisfying. Everything about this stay was just right: service, comfort, location, and value. A truly memorable experience, and I’d definitely come back again.

This hotel is absolutely fantastic—great staff, warm hospitality, and a really welcoming atmosphere. Just a heads-up: cash is the only accepted payment method here, so if you don’t have cash on hand, there’s a bank within walking distance where you can withdraw money easily. The rooms are clean, spacious, and well-appointed, but the real highlight is the rooftop terrace—unbeatable views of the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, especially at sunset. The food is delicious too, with authentic local flavors that truly stand out. Best part? You can walk straight to the Taj Mahal from the hotel, and a quick tuk-tuk ride gets you to Agra Fort. The surrounding neighborhood is full of charm—wander through the little streets, explore local shops, and soak in the vibrant culture. It’s such a convenient and memorable base for exploring Agra. Highly recommended!
