My room was spotless, the bathroom met North American standards (toilet paper included!), and the elevator comfortably fits six people and works perfectly. Outside, friendly stray dogs roam around—no worries at all. Next door, I watched older women carrying bricks on their heads while working alongside their children. Moved by the scene, I invited them over and gave each a small amount of money. Moments like this made the stay feel so much more meaningful.

The bathroom was dated, but still serviceable. What really stood out was the location — super convenient, just steps from major attractions, and walking around felt safe. The staff were friendly and attentive, and I always felt secure leaving my belongings behind. I even stayed up late enjoying the evening meal twice, and wow — the dinner was absolutely delicious!

I slept like a baby every night — something I didn’t expect on this kind of budget. If you're traveling light on cash and want a no-frills, reliable stay in Agra, this place delivers.

Staying at this homestay in September was an unforgettable experience. The host, Ali, is simply amazing—warm, incredibly kind, and highly professional. The room was beautifully decorated with great taste and spotlessly clean; I truly didn’t want to leave.

The room size was adequate for our short stay, and since this is a budget-friendly property, I didn’t expect anything luxurious. The location is convenient—just a short walk from major attractions like the Taj Mahal, making it ideal for travelers on a tight schedule. Breakfast was surprisingly good—fresh, well-prepared, and offered a decent variety. However, the lack of housekeeping throughout our entire stay was disappointing. We never had clean towels, fresh linens, or even basic tidying up, which made the experience feel less than hygienic. If the staff improved their cleaning routine, this hotel could be a solid choice for budget-conscious visitors who prioritize location and value over luxury. As it stands, it’s a decent option if you’re not too particular about cleanliness.

Our stay at Lemon Tree Hotel Agra turned out to be a real highlight, especially since the area isn’t very touristy and is quite a distance from major attractions. The restaurant truly saved our night—great food quality, delicious meals, and excellent service. Yes, the price is slightly above average, but honestly, it was totally worth it. Special shoutout to Arun and Himanshu—they were absolutely amazing, always helpful and friendly. Sanjeev also went above and beyond to assist us. The whole team made us feel welcome and well taken care of. From comfort to hospitality, everything was top-notch. If you're visiting Agra, this hotel is definitely a strong choice. We’ll definitely come back.

Despite being slightly off the main tourist trail, it's still easily accessible by local transport, making day trips to nearby attractions hassle-free. I highly recommend this hidden paradise—every bit of the experience lives up to the 10/10 rating, and I’ll definitely be returning.

The location was quite challenging to find—despite asking multiple local drivers and locals, we couldn’t get clear directions. It ended up being a bit of a hassle navigating to the hotel. While the building has a unique look, the overall experience didn’t live up to expectations. The room was decent but lacked standout features, and the service felt a bit slow. Not the easiest place to reach, especially if you’re not familiar with the area. I’d recommend choosing a more centrally located option next time.
